Cargo transport 241 was a cargo ship of the Galactic Empire helmed by a mustachioed captain. At some point in the third year before the Battle of Yavin, the transport docked at the Horizon Base. Upon leaving the dock, however, it transpired that the transport had embarked a stowaway affiliated with anti-Empire rebels, an astromech droid known as Chopper. After incapacitating the captain and jettisoning the Imperial stormtroopers along with the freight assembly, Chopper took control of the transport, with the help of the craft's own inventory droid, AP-5.
