Heavy Transports

A Heavy Transport is an Imperial voidship of vast size used as a freighter to carry extremely large cargoes through interstellar space. Not all Imperial merchant ships fall into the standard small “Imperial transport” category. Some of the larger trading galleons and ore carracks approach the size of the Navis Imperialis’ warships, though most commonly these accompany Rogue Trader fleets exploring beyond known space or ply the major trading routes used by the merchant fleets of the Segmentum Solar. The Imperium swarms with transport vessels. Millions of these civilian voidcraft plough the space lanes, ferrying pilgrims, ore, fuel, foodstuffs, weapons, materiel, machine parts and luxury goods to untold billions of eager consumers across the galaxy.
