Medium Transport is an Alliance capital ship in Star Wars: Rebellion. The in-game encyclopedia notes that although a medium transport measures just 90 meters in length, it can move a huge amount of equipment. Little more than a heavy shell makes up the exterior hull, while the interior is largely empty space. Troops, raw materials, weapons, spare parts, fuel, food, and medicine are all cargo these ships handle well.[1]

In the game

The Medium Transport costs 10 refined materials to build and 12 to maintain. It has a fighter capacity of 0 and a troop capacity of 2. Its shields have a strength of 100.[1] The infobox values come from the game data.[2] The 25th Anniversary Community Patch does not change them.[3]

In the manual's walkthrough, a medium transport is suggested as a good choice for taking troops to a newly explored system, because it can carry two troop units.[4]

The manual's ship table gives the same capacity: 0 fighters and 2 troops.[5]

The patch's picture

The 25th Anniversary Community Patch replaces this entry's original picture with a new one. The two pictures differ; the original is shown at the top of the page.[6]
