StarCitizen:MPUV Cargo

The MPUV Cargo (Multi Purpose Utility Vehicle Cargo) also known as MPUV-1C is a light transport snub ship developed by StarCitizen:Argo Astronautics and is designed to transfer small amounts of freight as well a single passenger over a short distance. Functioning as a common intergalactic Stevedore , a significant number of MPUV Cargos facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo onto ships that are unable to land on planetary surfaces or in dry-docks, including vessels like the StarCitizen:Hull D and the StarCitizen:Orion. Some captains of hauler ships opt to possess and manage their own MPUV, while others prefer to engage the services of local MPUV owners available at numerous bustling ports. Numerous MPUV Cargos are employed to facilitate ship-to-ship transfers between capital vessels, including the StarCitizen:Javelin and StarCitizen:Idris.<ref name="MPUVLaunch">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="MPUV1CStore">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="MPUV1CManual">Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Trivia

• The MPUV Cargo is commonly referred to within the community as the Argo Cargo.
• In 2021, the MPUV Cargo won the 2951 StarCitizen:Ship Showdown competition. It reached the last 16 knockout stage of the competition thanks to a strong push by backers.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> Despite the ship being inferior in many respects, the MPUV Cargo reached the grand final where it narrowly defeated the popular StarCitizen:Mercury Star Runner, 18,211 votes to 18,037. The winner influenced the design of a new, officially licensed in-game backpack available for free to all backers who attend the the 2951 StarCitizen:IAE event and all owners of the MPUV Cargo will receive a free limited-edition ship livery and leather jacket for their character.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
• The MPUV Cargo was offered as Referral Bonus with LTI in two situations. First during the Free Fly for the patch 3.15 and Second during the Luminalia 2952.
