Standard Container

Standard Container

 Standard container means they are standardized according to Union Industry Standard (UIS) 594-54. Standard Containers come in 10 sizes and made to Union Fleet specifications[1]. The Containers are made to be stackable and inter-lockable. In addition to sizes there are also versions for liquids, with Stasis Freezers (Not allowed to be exported beyond Union Borders). Special Containers exist that are made out of Ultronit or even Compacted Ultronit for items that need to be shipped very secure.

Most of the containers are collapsible.

It is quite common to see Standard Containers converted into buildings and housing, especially at frontier planets.

There are companies like Flat-tainer Inc. specializing in modifying Standard Containers into houses, shops and hotels etc.

[1] Standard Containers were orginally devloped for Union Fleet logistics but became very fast a logistics standard.
