Corellian Engineering Corporation's Action V transport belonged to the Action series of large cargo carriers.
This transport represented a slight improvement over the previous Action IV transport's blueprint. While Action V freighters possessed a smaller cargo capacity than the more modern Action VI transports, they were cheaper to acquire, and were common across the galaxy among independent owners and self-employed merchants.
Although its Class 4 hyperdrive offered reduced speed when compared to the Class 3 hyperdrives of both the model before it and the model after it, the Action V was the most widely used transport in the series.
Because of its distinctive form, the Action V was occasionally nicknamed a "flying hatbox," an observation made by Wedge Antilles to Mara Jade.
