Clothes of the Verge are self-cleaning, self-dewrinkling, and self-folding (but not self-sorting, alas, and matching socks is still a chore. On the other hand, that is what domestic robots are for.).

- Intermodal Cargo Container: A basic transport cargo container, capable of being loaded on trucks, trains, ships, and heavy lift airtrucks. Most transport wormholes are made to a gauge that can accommodate one or more tracks loaded with intermodal cargo containers. Docks (including those at wormhole terminii, not just those for ocean-going vessels) are designed around handling and moving intermodal containers of this sort.
Most intermodal containers have a thin carboplast lining over a carboplast frame, providing some protection to the goods inside as well as resisting corrosion and giving a light-weight structure. Intermodal containers come in several standard sizes – 2.6 m × 2.44 m × 12.2 m, 2.6 m × 2.44 m × 6.1 m, 2.9 m × 2.44 m × 12.2 m, and 2.9 m × 2.44 m × 13.7 m. Some come with built in refrigeration to keep perishables cold. The stats listed here are for a 2.6 m × 2.44 m × 12.2 m cargo box.
The carboplast lining protects with Armor Score Mech +7, Burn +7, Arc +2, Rad -11½. To shoot through a container, you need to punch through the lining on both sides – add +2 to Armor Score (plus the protection of going through anything stored in the container). For damage to destroy sections of the container, refer to armored walls in the security section.
