U-55 orbital loadlifter

The U-55 orbital loadlifter, also known as U-55 loadlifter and, informally, as a lifeboat, was a type of transport manufactured by Sienar Fleet Systems. It was used by the Resistance during its conflict with the First Order.

Characteristics
The U-55 loadlifters were built by Sienar Fleet Systems. During the First Order–Resistance war, many of the craft used by the Resistance were equipped with cloaking systems. The system was developed by the technician Rose Tico using a computer system to baffle their energy signals.

History
The Resistance used the loadlifters to evacuate the base on D'Qar, earning the moniker "lifeboat". During the attack on the Resistance fleet, the transports were used to evacuate the ships that ran out of fuel, such as the Ninka and the Anodyne. Thirty of the U-55 transports were used to evacuate the Raddus, however only a small number of transports made it to Crait. The rest were abandoned when the remaining survivors fled aboard the Millennium Falcon.
