GR-75 medium transport/Legends

GR-75 Medium Transports were used by the Rebels to transport supplies, equipment and troops. Some were modified to be fuel tankers for long range fighter missions or for smaller ships. The usual supply cargo carried by these transports consisted of food, medical supplies, spare parts, weapons and raw materials.

Most GR-75s tended to be at the centre of Rebel Fleet formations, and relied on starfighter-support when in combat areas. Some of these vessels were converted to more offensive purposes, like Armed Merchant Cruisers and kamikaze-style Fire ships.

The transport's outer hull was like a thick shell with the interior entirely open for cargo pods. Modular Cargo Pods greatly sped up loading and unloading procedures. When the transport was at its cargo capacity, a magnetic shield locked the modules in place, while at the same time kept out the vacuum of space. The command pod was located on the upper hull, near the main engines, and carried the crew in cramp conditions.

''GR-75s were seen in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. A similar ship was seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. This was a GR-45 Medium Transport, which was smaller than the 75-model and had differently arranged engines.''

GR-75s were built by the company Gallofree Yards, Inc.
