Imperial Prison Transport

The Imperial Prison Transport (IPT) was a modified version of the V-82 dropship to serve as a prisoner transport, ferrying prisoners to prisons such as Imperial factory facilities. The repurposed IPT stripped the comforts of the base transport model and added new restraints, with the prisoner passenger cabin located on the aft section. The IPT additionally kept life support systems at the bare minimum, and the cockpit was physically separated from the prisoner hold. The ion sublight drives were supported by struts.

In 5 BBY, Cassian Jeron Andor was arrested on Niamos, and was led to an area outside of the Niamos Courthouse along with other prisoners where three IPTs were loading them to transport the prisoners to different locations. Andor was placed into an IPT which ferried him and a number of others to a facility on Narkina 5 part of the massive Narkina 5 Imperial Prison Complex.
