DESCRIPTION
The Action Transport series was once a staple of the Corellian Engineering Corporation’s product line, as these Bulk Frigates were a common sight amongst the myriad Trade Routes populating the Galaxy. However, as the Company has fallen upon hard times, Republic Engineering sought to step up and fill the gap. While they already had several types of transport in their catalogue, the Coruscanti Corporation believed that they needed to offer their Prospective Clients something larger - at a relatively inexpensive price point. Thus, the Action XVII Transport was conceived in the hopes of enticing Starship Captains to buy into the machined perfection offered by Republic Engineering.

Unlike the Action Transports of the past, which were lightly armed and unarmoured, the XVII sported a selection of weaponry that would offer a measure of protection. While it wasn’t equipped in a similar capacity to a Military Vessel, the Action Transport would be more than capable of warding off Pirates - or at least delay anyone that sought to breach and subsequently plunder the Vessel’s Cargo Holds. Like many Republic Engineering Vessels, the Action Transport was outfitted with an Artificial Intelligence and Automaton suite that would significantly reduce the need for an Organic Crew. While it was certainly capable of sailing across the solar tides without a Captain, or a Crew for that matter, the performance and efficiency of the Action Transport would improve dramatically with someone at the helm.

Thus, with the Action Transport series reborn, the Star would once again experience prosperity as Galactic Trade resumed with little concern of Piracy and Interdiction.
