- Power Generation
- Like all products of Byblos Star Drives, the Class Five Container Transport comes equipped with a Hypermatter Annihilator System, allowing it to create an enormous amount of power for its various systems and sub-systems which means it can operate for far longer than normal freighters of the same classification currently in operation across the galaxy.
- Extreme Speed
- The Class Five Container Transport was built for speed in mind, to enable it to outrun pirates and criminal syndicates attemtping to seize its cargo. Although it is still slower than a corvette and starfighter due to its shear size.
- Mass-Production Model
- Like many products produced by Byblos Star Drives, the Class Five Container Transport is a mass production model meaning that parts and repair kits are easy enough to come by on the open-market. This gives it a cutting edge against the other personalized transport models of the same classification currently in use as each vessel lost in combat can be easily replaceable.
- Not Suitable for Combat
- The Class Five Container Transport was not constructed to engage in prolonged combat nor be utilized in space warfare. Although it does come equipped with a few turbolasers to protect itself with in the event of attack from pirates and other raiders along the hyperspace lanes. Its weak defenses will crumble underneath heavy assault.
The BSD Class Five Container Transport is an updated variation of the Class Four Container Transport used by the First Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War to haul large numbers of crates and containers across the galaxy. Its first reported purpose was to haul away the war chest of Count Dooku, Head of the State of the Confederacy of Independent Systems contained within his Serenno Palace during the early years of the Empire.
Although with the galactic governments fighting over ever-increasing resource shortages, Byblos Star Drives seized the opportunity to explore the freighter market and create a large container vessel for planetary governments, and private organizations such as the Trade Federation.
The Container Transport is a state-of-the art vessel capable of carrying up to 210 large containers, outfitted with simple weaponry and defenses to prevent pirate incursions and hostile takeovers at the shipping ports. Despite having a large profile, it is considerably fast for a vessel of its size more than able to outrunn battlecruisers and enemy raiders should they prey on the Galactic Trade Lanes within the Galactic Alliance.
