Design
The standard Imperial transport was essentially rectangular in shape with an almost uniformly flat prow (save for a protruding structure), and 4 engines in the rear.
Role and Capabilities
It served as the main Imperial military transport design. The Kircheis Fleet escorted a fleet of transport ships laden with Alliance prisoners of war to Iserlohn Fortress in 797 UC (488 IC / 3597 CE). Supply ships were also kept behind the battle line by Imperial flagship of High Admiral Marquis Wilhelm von Littenheim at the Battle of Kyffhäuser later that year, to supply his forces in case of a prolonged battle.

The ship consisted of a forward bridge section and aft engine section with a large central cargo compartment. A heat radiator ran horizontally along the length of the ship, and the side of the ship could be opened up to unload cargo.
Installed artificial gravity generators and inertial compensators allowed for a 5.4G acceleration without affecting any cargo contents. The total cargo volume was 160 million cubic metres. This dimensions of the cargo hold were sufficient to hold an Imperial cruiser intact without disassembly. The transport was also used at times to ferry hundreds of Walküre fighters.
