| Note : |
This ship can be modified to have shields,
weapons and a faster hyperdrive backup. One ship (under the
command of Lieutenant Lon Donell) converted its enormous cargo
bay into a massive hanger bay (cargo capacity = 10,000,000 cubic
metres) mounted 2D shields, 20 quad laser cannons and a tractor
beam projector, and a class 9 hyperdrive backup. However, it
must be noted that the ship's sensor capabilities were different
from a stock Super Transport XI. |

The
Super Transport XI represents an extreme case of economy of scale, as
it can transport a ton of cargo for a fraction of the cost compared to
a light freighter. Massive, slow, and featuring gargantuan cargo holds,
the super container may be the ultimate dream prize (for pirates). These
ships cross entire regions from one major transshipment system to another.
This sort of ship is too massive for most pirates to bother attacking;
and they usually operate only in the most heavily trafficked systems.
Its cargo space allows the Super Transport XI to hold up to 40,000 standard
containers within its twenty holds (some of which are pressurized and
come equipped with limited temperature control). These ships generally
transport hundreds of millions of credits worth of cargo, enough to gain
the attention of the Imperial Navy, which often assigns such ships battle-ready
capital ship escorts. It must also be noted that even the Imperial Navy
employs these ships.
