The RAFT (Reinforced Advanced Freight Transport) is a medium cargo hauler developed by StarCitizen:Argo Astronautics. This compact vehicle is designed to transport six standardized 32 SCU [[StarCitizen::Category:Containers|cargo containers]], maximizing payload capacity and minimizing complications. Eliminate the hassle of hand-loading crates; the RAFT allows for efficient loading and unloading, preparing you for your next task. With reinforced shields, a robust weapons system, and a wide range of countermeasures, the RAFT ensures secure delivery of your cargo.<ref name="RAFTStore">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="RAFTLaunch">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="RAFTQ&A">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

2021-11-24	RAFT was first demonstrated to various players on Day 4 of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951.<ref>https://clips.twitch.tv/BrightSaltyToothVoteYea-KAvQ2SvPal81G6MS https://clips.twitch.tv/CleverOddChickenBudBlast-S_Gwb_cgId9CeYWj https://clips.twitch.tv/HedonisticTolerantPresidentHoneyBadger-nNfX4UNigy-qTBAF</ref>
2021-11-25	RAFT was officially revealed and implemented to the PU in Alpha 3.15.1.
2025-05	In Alpha 4.1.1, RAFT's 3 sets of cargo arms were removed, and had the 3x32scu of separated cargo grids replaced by a unified 6x32scu cargo grid, effectively doubling the ship's hauling capacity from 96scu to 192scu.
2026-01	RAFT's webstore price received an increase from $125 to $190, due to its change in hauling capability.

Trivia

RAFTRON: Defender of the Persistent Universe was a very short segment that was shown at the very end of a StarCitizen:Inside Star Citizen episode. It featured a giant super robot or mecha formed by combining five RAFTs of different colors. It wields a giant red sword and has a proportionally-sized Pico-ball for a head.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref>https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxQnLStExSSCjcnOu6XMZk0Fnov6_GXfZv Inside Star Citizen: A Space Odyssey - RAFTRON Clip</ref>
