'''Standard Cargo Unit''' ('''SCU''') is a unit used to describe the volume of [[StarCitizen:cargo]] in game. It is commonly used to describe cargo capacity of [[StarCitizen:vehicle]]s in the Verse. It is based on the size of 1 m3 (1,000 L) stored inside a container with a standard thickness of 0.125 m, making the total size of 1 SCU 1.25 m3.<ref name="Cargo interaction">{{Cite RSI|text=Comm-Link:Cargo Interaction|int=Comm-Link:Cargo Interaction|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/14677-Cargo-Interaction}}</ref><ref name="Cargo capacity">{{Cite RSI|text=The Shipyard:SCU and Cargo Capacity - A Guide to the New Ship Matrix|int=A Guide to the New Ship Matrix|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/16204-The-Shipyard-SCU-And-Cargo-Capacity}}</ref>

Currently there are a variety of containers that range from [[StarCitizen::Category:Containers|1 to 32 SCU]] in volume.

==Conversion==
SCU adopts metric prefixes in game to indicate a multiple or fraction of the unit. One [[StarCitizen:Storage Point]] (SP) is the equivalent of one microSCU.
