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

Mankind has used cuboidal boxed for transporting cargo, prtected from the elements, since before recorded history. This practise possibly even dates back to Terra itself.

The reason for the popularity of these utilitarian objects is twofold: The flat sides of a container make it idea for the inexpensive display of advertising graphics (compared to the high fees commanded by the less dimensionally-challenged illustrators who emblazon cruisers with company colours), and the enclosed shape protects the cargo even if it should happen to be left planetside in harsh weather conditions.

However, in more recent years the design of the humble container has undergone a lot of development, not without its fair share of political turmoil.
