TheResistance transport pod was a customized model of two-person lightshuttle constructed from thecockpit of aB-wing Mark II by theResistance. The pods were originally constructed to be grafted to passenger modules and used astroop transports by the Resistance, but with theirhyperdrive they could be separated and used on their own. During theBattle of Oetchi by theFirst Order in34 ABY, the Resistance agentsRose Tico andFinn used atransport pod totravel to theplanet Cantonica, where it was then destroyed by theCanto Bight Police Department.

Description[]

The engine of the Resistance transport pod was located at the rear.

The Resistance transport pod was a type of customized lightshuttle created by thetechnicians of theResistance for use as an unarmed, two-persontransport. Theshuttle was originally constructed from thecockpit ofSlayn & Korpil'sB-wing Mark II starfighter, which the Resistance grafted onto a civilian passenger module in order to create theResistance transport. When the cockpit was split back off from the module, it retained ahyperdrive to act as a standalone two person shuttle, needing onepilot and having room for one passenger. As a separate ship, the pod stood 5.72meters tall, 5.29 meters wide and 7.73 meters long.^[1]

The pod consisted of the cockpit, with itsviewport on the left hand side, asensor on the front and a stabilizer fin on top foratmospheric flight. The back of the pod housed theengine, includingthrust vectrals to directplasma flow, while the left hand side of the pod bore a door that doubled as both the pilot's escape route and the port docking hatch. The attachment point for the transport's passenger module remained on the right hand side.^[1] The pod's cockpit wasarmored withdurasteel.^[3]

Finn and Rose Tico flew a transport pod to Cantonica.
