'''Cargo Canisters''' are containers that are used to transport [[commodities]] across the galaxy. A filled canister weighs approximately 1 tonne, and is designed to fill a standardized space within a [[Cargo Rack]].
__TOC__
{{clr}}


'''Cargo Canisters''' are used to transport different goods across the galaxy. A filled canister weighs approximately 1 tonne. All [[Commodities]] transported in the [[Cargo Rack]]s of [[Ships]] and [[SRV]]s do so in canisters.
== Overview ==
Each Cargo Canister is shaped like a rounded octagonal prism and is roughly two meters in height. They are designed to fit through a standard [[Cargo Hatch]]. There are various different cannister designs, used by different types of commodities, but most are manufactured by [[Vespine Transport Systems]]. Other markings on the exterior may relate to the canister's type and content.


Various other objects, such as [[Black Box]]es, [[Occupied Escape Pod]]s, and [[Unknown Artefact]]s conform to the canister form factor closely enough to be compatible with standard cargo racks.
All [[commodities]] transported in the [[Cargo Rack]]s of [[Ships]] and [[SRV]]s, including [[Miner|mined]] commodities, are contained in canisters. Cargo Canisters can be [[salvage]]d  with a [[Cargo Scoop]] or [[Limpet Controller|Limpets]] in space or on a planetary surface. When a Cargo Canister is targted, the [[HUD]] will indicate whether it is legal or illegal salvage.


You can [[salvage]] canisters with a [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]] or limpet [[Collector Drone|collectors]] in space or on a celestial body's surface. Check the GUI text when targeting canisters whether it's "legal salvage" or "illegal salvage".
Various other objects, such as [[Black Box]]es, [[Occupied Escape Pod]]s, and [[Thargoid Sensor]]s conform to the size dimensions of a Cargo Canister closely enough to be compatible with standard Cargo Racks, although Thargoid technology is corrosive and must be transported in [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]]s to prevent damage to the ship that is carrying it.

Cargo containers seen inside [[starport]] docking bays and stored on the exteriors of certain [[megaship]]s contain multiple Cargo Canisters.

There are several markings on the canisters, one showing the manufacturer, [[Vespine Transport Systems]] and other miscellaneous information that vary depending on the canister type and content.
==Cargo Containers==
Cargo containers contain multiple canisters. One metric tonne cargo cannisters are utilized to contain freight. This standardized system has made loading and unloading more efficient and easier.
