Cargo container

Cargo containers were storage units used to hold various foodstuffs, equipment, and even personnel. Containers were used by many factions of the galaxy to store and transport various freight through space.

History
During the Battle of Christophsis, cargo containers were used to store vital supplies for Senator Bail Organa's relief effort on Christophsis. These supplies were originally intended to be delivered to the surface by the Republic's prototype stealth ship, thus bypassing the blockade around the planet. Instead, the stealth ship attacked the enemy's command ship first, and was able to destroy it after several skirmishes. With the blockade broken, the ship delivered the cargo containers and their contents to the surface.
