Containers are seen across the galaxy, although many have found uses other than what they were designed for. In essence, a container is a metal or plastic cuboid for storing or moving inanimate objects.

History

In the year 1779, a special church subcommittee determined that one of the major causes of inefficiency when transporting goods was the uneven size of crates and packages. Therefore, the subcommittee created a document detailing several standard sizes of containers, in order that all packages could be neatly and efficiently stacked. This standard, EB11403, was enacted into law early in 1776. All containers must be made to the official specifications, and all vehicles designed to carry bulk cargo should accept crates of a standard size for easy loading.
