Basic Vehicle Characteristics
Following the Imperial Army and IISS Universal Vehicle Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the vehicle when applicable. Tonnage on the universal vehicle profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

Hull / Suspension
An open topped box-shaped hull constructed from wood or steel.
- Length: 8.6m, Width: 3.2m, Height: 3.7m.
- Overall Volume: approximately 102m³ (7.6 dTons).
- Unloaded Weight: 14,400 kg.
The overall volume measures the vehicles maximum dimensions and includes track clearance. The enclosed volume of the hull is lower.
The vehicle is fitted with wheels mounted on axles.
- The vehicle is designed to operate on rail networks. The gauge (the distance between the inner faces of the two rails) for railroad networks within the Distant Fringe is generally 1.5m (though some worlds use their own system) and most examples of the wagon are built to match that standard.
Power / Transmission
The open wagon has no internal power source.
Performance
Wagons are unpowered. They are moved by being coupled to a railroad locomotive.
- Wagons are fitted with an automatic coupling system. At TL 5 the linkage also includes pressure hoses that connect to the locomotive and operate the wagons braking system.
Cargo
The body of the wagon consists of an open topped cargo hold with a volume of 50m³ (4.1 dTons).
- Cargo Storage: 50m³ (4.1 dTons).
- Maximum Load: 37,500 kg.
- Maximum Gross Weight: 51,900 kg.
Equipment
Running lights.
