These transports are Just large enough to be useful for some Fleet replenishment tasks - medicine,clothing,small arms, light equipment, and so forth - though they are not big enough to economically transport bulk items such as food or fuel. Unfortunately, as the Alliance won't many large craft, they will be forced to push these transports to their limits.
Though not specifically designed as such, medium transports can also carry passengers. A few have been converted into miniature hos­pitals, communications centers, and so forth.

Medium transports are virtually helpless in battle. They are slow, unwieldy, and very lightly armed and shielded. They are small enough to be vulnerable to starflghter attacks, but not so small that they aren't tempting targets for capital warships. The best thing that can be said about them is that they are cheap.
The Alliance will get rnost of it's medium transports directly from the manufacturer, Gallofree Yards, Inc., buying them through third-party ­agents for well below suggested retail price when Gallofree goes bankrupt in 4 BBY. Rebel spacers will insist that the Empire was fully aware the Alliance was buying the trans­ports, but they let them purchase them anyway because they thought the ships would cause the Alliance more grief than good.
