'''Cargo containers''' are "ships" in [[FS1]] and [[FS2]] that are used to carry supplies. They are transported by various freighters, usually matching one type of container to one type of freighter, (with the exception of the [[GTFr Poseidon]]) though most freighters can carry any container without issue.

More information about the [[Great_War-era_craft|FS1 containers]] and [[FreeSpace_2-era_craft|FS2 containers]] can be found in their respective ship databases.

Below is a quick image reference to all FS1 and FS2 cargo containers.

TC-TRI containers are made by Triton Dynamics specifically to house fragile replacement parts for TD vessels that must be repaired in the field. Once these parts have been placed in storage at a repair facility, the GTVA reuses the containers in many capacities.

The TC2 is the standard issue cargo container in the GTA for deep space cargo transport.  It has all the electronics and systems needed to preserve any cargo within it at whatever conditions are necessary.  TC2s are cheap to manufacture, and heavily used throughout the Alliance.

The TC 2 is the standard issue cargo container in the GTVA for deep space cargo transport. Its thin hull will preserve Terran-standard atmospheric conditions inside, as long as the hull seal has not been comprised by weapon fire or collision. TC 2 containers are cheap to manufacture and heavily used everywhere but the front lines (where the armored TAC 1 containers are employed, when available).

The TSC 2 container is armored, providing more protection for its cargo than does the TC 2. This armor serves mainly to protect against hull breaches due to collisions, as it's not thick enough to provide much protection against enemy attacks. TSC 2s are used in busy supply depots in which collision damage is a hazard.

The TAC 1 is a very heavily armored type of Terran cargo container. It is most often used to hold delicate or valuable cargoes. TAC 1s are generally found in front-line operations in which protection from enemy attacks is a primary consideration.

The standard Vasudan cargo container is only slightly different from our own.  The primary difference is that the Vasudan cargo containers are atmospheric as well as deep-space.  Vasudans used cargo containers well before we did, as they needed to transport raw materials from other systems to their own barren world.  Our cargo container was modelled after theirs, although ours is slightly superior in durability.

The SAC 3 is the most common Shivan cargo container found thus far. Its thin plating is barely enough to maintain the interior atmospheric integrity against the vacuum of space. As no additional effort was made to armor these containers against attack, it is assumed that only items of low value or importance are carried within. Nevertheless, standing orders are to capture these containers at every opportunity, unless mission orders specifically dictate otherwise.

We believe that the Shivans use cargo containers such as these as storage depots.  We have yet to see a Shivan land on a planet.  This leads us to believe that the Shivans plan on keeping all of their materials and resources in deep space.

The SC 5 class of Shivan cargo container is functionally identical to the SAC 3 class, as far as GTVA engineers have been able to determine. As with all Shivan cargo containers, standing orders are to capture at every opportunity, unless mission orders specifically dictate otherwise.

What we have dubbed the Sac-2 is simply a more heavily armored form of the standard Shivan cargo container.  We believe that this is where the Shivans keep their more precious supplies.  Sac-2s are to be captured or destroyed at every opportunity.

====FS2 Tech Room Description====

The SAC 2 is a heavily armored variant of the standard Shivan cargo container. Equipment found in captured SAC 2s appears to be more fragile than that found in the more common SAC 3s. SAC 2 cargo containers are to be captured rather than destroyed at every opportunity. If the choice is between destruction and allowing the container to be recovered by Shivan forces, pilots are authorized to destroy the container.

For the FRED feature, see SEXP Container.

Cargo containers are "ships" in FS1 and FS2 that are used to carry supplies. They are transported by various freighters, usually matching one type of container to one type of freighter, (with the exception of the GTFr Poseidon) though most freighters can carry any container without issue.

More information about the FS1 containers and FS2 containers can be found in their respective ship databases.

Below is a quick image reference to all FS1 and FS2 cargo containers.
