A common type of freighter is simply a large cargo container attached magnetically to a [[Propulsion pod]] which contains the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] and sublight maneuvering systems. These containers can travel up and down [[space elevator]] strands, allowing for fast loading and management of cargo. Once on top of the elevator, the propulsion pod is attached to the container, effectively turning it into a slipspace-capable freighter.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 67''</ref> A colonial high-capacity space tether system can have dozens of propulsion pods and cargo containers operational at a time, all managed by a shipping operations AI. These freighters are mostly automated, and human crews are a rarity. Mail between colonies is often delivered on the freighters' on-board memory.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 35''</ref> | A common type of freighter is simply a large cargo container attached magnetically to a [[Propulsion pod]] which contains the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] and sublight maneuvering systems.
