The [[ARGO Astronautics]] '''Multi-Purpose Utility Vehicles''' ('''MPUV''', commonly known as '''Argo''') are multipurpose utility vehicles designed for extreme environments but do not have a [[Quantum drive|quantum drive]]. The vehicle is also commonly used by [[human]] companies like [[Shubin Interstellar]] and the [[UEE Navy|military]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/bft7w5xieirwir/source/Argo-Manual.pdf|text=ARGO MPUV Manual}}</ref>

|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 to conduct ship-to-ship transfers between capital ships such as the [[Javelin]] and [[Idris]].

|The [[Argo]] '''MPUV-1P''' ('''Multi-Purpose Utility Vehicle Personnel''' or '''Argo Personnel''') is geared towards a simple but incredibly important responsibility: moving groups of people from place to place. The [[UEE Navy]] uses MPUV-1Ps extensively, and any new recruit can likely recall those terrifying moments in which such a ship carried them to their first space assignment. In [[civilian]] hands, Argo Personnel ships are adapted for everything from standard taxi services to use as makeshift combat dropships. The ARGO is capable of carrying up to eight [[human]]s and their equipment.<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-Personnel|text=MPUV Personnel - Ship Page}}</ref>

|The [[Argo Astronautics|Argo]] MPUV-1T or MPUV Tractor is a snub ship outfitted with a [[tractor beam]] used for handling cargo. Its porter chassis is equipped with two tractor beams to facilitate the handling of cargo, showcasing the distinctive Argo construction excellence, and a flexible configuration that can accommodate diverse loading tasks. Setting benchmarks in terms of rapidity and effectiveness, it is challenging to locate a freight business of high caliber that does not rely on a fleet of MPUVs for its operations.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Standalone-Ships/MPUV-Tractor|text=MPUV TRACTOR - Ship Page|accessdate=}}</ref>
