Transports such as freighters and passenger liners were not designed for military encounters and were normally unarmed and slow-moving. However, transports were easy to modify and convert into effective combat vessels, which was done by pirates and smugglers. Military organizations also adapted the transport to ferry troops and provide combat support. The Imperial Navy used the Sentinel-class landing craft by Cygnus Spaceworks to swiftly deploy its personnel to planets below. The Death Watch Mandalorians used Gauntlet fighters to transport Death Watch troopers and provide combat support.
A non-spacefaring vehicle that was used as a transport was the Gungan bongo submarine, an underwater transport used by the Gungans of Naboo.
