'''Galaxy Class''' Armed Freighters are ancient transports used by [[Imperial]] [[Merchant Fleets]] designed during the late [[Age of Strife]]. Radically different from the newer more high-capacity [[Imperial Transport]]s which have largely replaced it, these vessels retain a much more substantial weapons fit than their successors, as they were originally designed for a time when space was much more hostile before the [[Great Crusade]]. However with the Imperium now besieged on all sides and the [[Imperial Navy]]'s fleets overstretched, there has been a resurgence in the use of these vessels as Merchant Guilds seek to protect their cargoes.{{Fn|1}}
If used as a military transport, it can carry at least 2 mechanized infantry regiments, 2 infantry regiments and 1 armored regiment.{{Fn|2}}
