- Detachable cargohold, when cargohold is detached, this vehicle can carry the equivalent of two starfighters to any given base or structure.
- Docking clasps and gear for transport of large objects.
- Slick and straight bottomplating to maximize ground clearance and allow for easier driving.
- Extremely well defended: Thanks to a combination of extremely sturdy impervium reinforced durasteel inner plating and ersteel 145 outer plating of ample thickness with a Tunqstoid lining in between, accompanied by a small ray shield to boot, this vehicle is top of its class in defending its cargo to most hazards both environmental and military alike, providing both it's driver and possible passengers the outmost safety.
- Heat Resistant: It's defenses while well geared to various weaponry, also provides excellent protection against extreme heat, making it the perfect choice for any company or military operating in environments that require vehicles with good durability such as volcanic planets and desert planets.
- Large to very large capacity: Thanks to the large cargo hold, this vehicle has ample space for a good squadron of troops to be transported or dozens of tonnes of goods, with the detachable cargohold removed, it also allows for the transport of the equivalent ofup to two starfighter classed ships or other vehicles and equipment of a similar size and weight.
- Low agility and speed: Due to its weight, this vehicle is not particularly fast and it's large size most likely will impede its maneuvrability, especially within urban area and tight spaces.
- Hardly any offensive strength (if any at all): As it was originallydesigned as a hauler for civil use, this vehicle has virtually no offensive capacity, with only a flak gun turret mounted atop if the buyer choose for the option of having it installed.
With the large amount of materials to be transported between facilities of Nargath Holdings and other subsidiaries of the N&Z umbrella corporation, there was an obvious demand for a strong, durable and dependable vehicle to eleviate the pressure of this issue. With this civil use in mind, the designers first set off to create a large loader with a flatbed, using mostly Ersteel 145 and regular durasteel as the base components. However, when it became clear that in reality cargolaoders could also find a place within military organizations as part of their logistics, it was decided to improve upon the defensive designs of the vehicle, now dubbed the CVG-1. The additions in question were to increase the thickness of the plating to an almost absurd four centimeters of exterior and one centimeter of interior plating, with a tunqstoid lining and uprated impervium reinforced durasteel interior plating, this allowed for a much stronger and more durable shell. Later implementations saw it fit to have a modular part to the vehicle in case of buyers desiring at least some sort of offensive capacity. To address this desire, the CVG-1 would now also be capable of having a FLAK turret of in house design to be installed and the decision to add a ray shield to the defensive capacity had also been agreed upon.
When the design finally hit production, it was sold through the military divisions of the company rather than the civil division, despite it still bearing the civil use badge and modelname.
