The Beta Class ETR-3 Transport was originally designed to escort construction vessels when establishing planetary outposts on unpacified worlds. Cargo space was often used to house a squadron's worth of speeder bikes.

In space, the Beta Class ETR-3 Transport can be used for a variety of operations, offensive and defensive. With its heavy armament it is capable of striking larger vessels and provides excellent anti-starfighter defense. It can carry up to 60 troops and its strong shielding and armor make it an excellent boarding craft.

The Gamma Class ATR-6 Assault Transport was partially based on the Beta Class ETR-3 Escort Transport's design.
