The standardized [[cargo container]]s are the heart of interstellar trade. Containers come in many different types, each with a designation to distinguish the different types and uses. Designation for each container is (size)(type)/(TL). There are three sizes of containers, coded as 4A (8 [[ton]]s), 4C (4 [[ton]]s) or 4D (2 [[ton]]s). Containers are 3 meters high by 3 meters wide, and include all doors and fittings for cargo handling equipment. The size 4A containers are 12 meters long, 4C containers are 6 meters long, and 4D containers are 3 meters long. Containers are constructed at {{TL|5}} to {{TL|15}}, with little variation in weight or cost.

The standardized Cargo Containers are the heart of interstellar trade. Containers come in many different types, each with a designation to distinguish the different types and uses. Designation for each container is (size)(type)/(TL).

There are three sizes of containers, coded as 4A (12 meters long, 8 tons), 4C (6 meters long, 4 tons) or 4D (3 meters long, 2 tons). Containers are constructed at TL–5 to TL–15, with little variation in weight or cost.
