GR-75 medium transport

The GR-75 medium transport, sometimes referred to as the Gallofree transport, was a transport designed and constructed by Gallofree Yards, Inc.. They were lightly armed with a clamshell-like hull to protect the cargo pods it carried. They could not reach anymore than 650 kilometers per hour and had a class 4 hyperdrive.

They were used by the Rebel Alliance before and during the Galactic Civil War. In the early days of the rebellion, one was destroyed on a supply mission to Teralov and two more were destroyed in the Battle of Atollon. At least ten transports served at the Battle of Scarif, and later in the war thirty served as escape craft during a partially successful attempt to evacuate rebel forces from an assault on Hoth, in which thirteen were able to escape. At least sixteen also participated in the decisive Battle of Endor. Many GR-75 transports served in the Battle of Jakku, and by the time of the Cold War, several GR-75 medium transports were in the service of Jinata Security, which were modified with additional laser cannons.
