Action VI Transport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Action VI Transport is a vessel from the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe.
The Action VI typically operates in convoys or in well-patrolled areas of space, since they lack even the most basic forms of self-defensive measures, and must rely totally on protection from other capital ships. The only reason they are used by the Galactic Empire is because they are quite inexpensive (relative to Imperial wealth).
The Rebel Alliance also employs these cargo vessels, but in much smaller quantities since they are far more expensive than GR-75 Medium Transports. Most Action VIs are stolen from the Empire.
An Action VI transport is seen in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, taking off from a Naboo spaceport.
One of the most famous Corellian Action VI transports is the Wild Karrde, flown by pirate Talon Karrde.
[edit] Wild Karrde
The Wild Karrde is the flagship of the semi-reformed smuggler Talon Karrde. The ship began its life as a stock Action VI Transport but was upgraded by Karrde to include three capital starship turbolasers and high-tech sensor systems. It also boasts engines that make it significantly faster than any other capital starship. The cargo bays have largely been converted into living quarters, and the ship has a small docking bay for small craft, such as the Z-95.
