The Mobquet Medium Transport, also known as the Mobquet Medium Cargo Hauler, was a transport ship produced by Mobquet Swoops and Speeders.

CharacteristicsEdit

It was the basis for the Starlight Intruder's design. Although one of the slower transports, its slightly reinforced hull and extra space helped increase its popularity. The ship consisted of three modular nodes, that could be modified to serve the need of the owner. The standard design included crew quarters, storage, defensive weapons in front node, speeder racks in the second node and computer units in the third node.

HistoryEdit

Because of Tagge's connection with the Empire, the ship was licensed as medium transport rather than a heavy cargo carrier.^[1] At least one Mobquet medium transport was used to make up a Hidden Jedi Temple.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

The Mobquet Medium Transport is shown in the background of the episodes Serenity, Shindig, and War Stories of the show Firefly. As a response, the Star Wars artist Thomas Hodges made a similar move. See Firefly-class mid-bulk transport.

The Mobquet transports in Star Wars: X-wing Alliance have textures based on the Starlight Intruder, including a shape on top of the second cargo module which is actually a replica of the Millennium Falcon.
