The vehicle carrying the Bio-Transport can unload all of its contents into the Alien Containment module of any X-COM base that it parks or docks at. If there is no module at the base, the aliens will remain in the Bio-Transport module. If there is a containment module but insufficient room, you are given the opportunity to decide which aliens are to be kept or disposed.

  • Weight: 65
  • Size: 2 × 2
  • Capacity: 20
  • Style: road/air
  • Manufacturer: X-Com
  • Base Price: $950
  • Maximum Weekly Stock: 4
  • Storage Space: 40


Note: The module has a stated capacity of 20 'units' of alien lifeforms. This is incorrect. There is no upper limit!

This module allows recovery and transport of any alien lifeform, alive or dead. X-Com craft equipped with this module must land at any base which has an Alien Containment facility to off-load the biological entities. If no containment facility is present at the base, the option to "Keep On Board" is available where the craft can then transport the lifeforms to the correct base. This choice is only possible once per alien load.
Only one module is needed for each craft used in a recovery role since it has 'unlimited' capacity.

Image Error: The icon for this module is swapped to the cargo module within the Vehicle Equipment screen, and the in-game UFOpedia may also incorrectly display this 'grey module with cargo rollers' as a bio-transport module, depending on the game version used.
