MPUV Cargo

The MPUV-1C (Multi-Purpose Utility Vehicles Cargo), or more commonly known as the Argo Cargo,  is a light transport ship manufactured by Argo Astronaustics and is designed to transfer small amounts of freight over a short distance.

Many are responsible for loading/unloading goods onto massive vessels that have difficulty either landing or using drydocks, such as the Hull D or the Orion. Some captains choose to own and operate their MPUV 1C, while others pay privately owned ships operating as port services a rental fee for performing the unloading process. Many MPUV 1C's are also used in the military service on capital ships such as the Javelin or the Idris and are used mainly for ship to ship transfers.
