The Argo MPUV-1C (Multi-Purpose Utility Vehicles Cargo or Argo Cargo) is a dedicated merchant transfer ship, a ubiquitous intergalactic stevedore. Vast numbers of Argo Cargos are responsible for loading and unloading goods onto massive long-haul transports and miners that cannot otherwise land on planets or drydocks, such as the Hull D and the Orion. Some captains choose to own and operate their own Argo, while others pay privately owned ships operating as port services a rental fee for performing the unloading process.^[1]^[2]

Brochure description

When you buy a utility vehicle, you don't want conditions. You don't want qualifying statements. You want results. The Argo MPUV is designed to deliver in what ever environment or condition you throw at it.
