Capsule: These transports are just large enough to be useful for some fleet replenishment tasks - medicine, clothing, small arms, light equipment and so forth - though they are not big enough to economically transport bulk Items such as food or fuel. Unfortunately, as the Alliance hasn't got many large craft, they are forced to push these transports to their limits.
Though not specifically designed as such, medium transports can also carry passengers. A few have been converted into miniature hospitals, communications centers, and so forth.
Medium transports are virtually helpless in battle. they are slow, unwieldy, and very lightly armed and shielded. They are small enough to be vulnerable to starfighter attacks, but not so small that they aren't tempting targets for capable warships. The best thing that can be said about them is that they are cheap.
The Alliance got most of its medium transports direct from the manufacturer, Gallofree Yards Inc., buying through third-party agents for well below suggested retail price when Gallofree went bankrupt several years back. Rebel spacers insist the Empire was fully aware the A1liance was buying the transports, but they let them purchase them anyway because they thought the ships would cause more grief than good.
