RZ-68 transports are light passenger ships designed with the private security market in mind. They are designed to deploy, or extract, a sizeable squad of soldiers with speed and reasonable agility. They each have a small hangar bay capable of carrying one or two small speeder bikes, or general cargo of similar dimensions. They are very lightly armed, each equipped with only a single heavy laser, necessitating surprise and speed as far as tactics are concerned. Adequate hull plating, however, ensures relative safety as they travel in and out of hot zones.

Although RZ-68 transports are no longer in active production, they remain very popular, with a great number still in service. Many of them serve in their intended roles with private security firms and planetary governments, but a great number currently operate outside of their intended roles with much success. One civilian passenger transportation firm, for example, operates a number of RZ-68 transports, selling no-frills inter-system fares at a very cheap rate, making the company very popular among middle and low-income individuals with travel needs. Although not as capable as purpose-built light freighters, RZ-68 transports can at times be seen ferrying laborers, prisoners, or even construction equipment in locations where more conventional freighters are in short supply.
