The '''MPUV-1C''' ('''M'''ulti-'''P'''urpose '''U'''tility '''V'''ehicle '''C'''argo), or more commonly known as the  '''Argo Cargo''', is a light transport ship manufactured by [[Argo Astronautics|Argo Astronaustics]] and is designed to transfer small amounts of freight over a short distance. The cargo pod can also accommodate a single passenger. 

Many are responsible for loading/unloading goods onto massive vessels that have difficulty either landing or using drydocks, such as the [[Hull D]] or the [[Orion]]. Some captains choose to own and operate their MPUV-1C, while others pay privately owned ships operating as port services a rental fee for performing the unloading process.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15453-Argo-MPUV|text=Argo MPUV: Concept Sale}}</ref><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/argo/MPUV-Cargo|text=MPUV Cargo - Ship Page}}</ref> Many MPUV-1Cs are also used in the military service on capital ships such as the [[Javelin]] or the [[Idris]] and are used mainly for ship-to-ship transfers.

==Development==
The MPUV-1C received a visual update in [[Star Citizen Alpha 3.13.0|Alpha 3.13]] patch.<ref>[https://redd.it/mofxqg The Gladius isn't the only thing getting love in 3.13!] on Reddit</ref>

==Trivia==

In 2021, the MPUV-1C successfully won the 2951 [[Ship Showdown]] competition. It reached the last 16 knockout stage of the competition thanks to a strong push by backers.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=community/ship-showdown|text=2951 Ship Showdown Submissions}}</ref>. Despite the ship being inferior in many respects, the MPUV-1C reached the grand final where it narrowly defeated the popular [[Mercury Star Runner]], 18,211 votes to 18,037. The winner will influence the design of a new, officially licensed in-game backpack available for free to all backers who attend the the 2951 [[IAE]] event and all owners of the MPUV-1C will receive a free limited-edition ship livery and leather jacket for their character. <ref>{{Cite RSI|url=ship-showdown2021/winners|text=2951 Ship Showdown Winners}}</ref>
