ARJ is the IATA container code designation for a standardized high-volume rectangular cargo unit measuring approximately 16x8x8 feet. In the Rise universe, ARJ containers are used extensively for cargo, passenger transport, fuel, and munitions.

The ARJ-Class Container

There are 692 ARJ containers in use throughout the Yonmaran System as of March 31, 2250.

These containers are certified under the IATA ULD system as an ARJ configuration:

A – Certified aircraft-compatible container

R – Base dimensions of 96 inches × 196 inches

J – Rectangular, high-volume configuration

ARJ containers feature a steel frame construction with a weather-resistant, marine-grade interior. An engineer certified the sturdy design can withstand wind velocities of up to 177 kph while partially full.

Approximate Measurements
Length	4.877 meters
Width	2.438 meters
Height	2.438 meters
Interior Nominal (not taking interior beams into consideration)
Area	10.963 meters²
Volume	28.996 meters³
Interior Clear (taking interior beams into consideration)
Area	9.941 meters²
Volume	22.852 meters³
Door Opening
Width	2.032 meters²
Height	1.930 meters²
Empty Weight	0.907 MT
Unit Load (PSF)	35.500 kg

The floor of the container is a tenth of a meter off the ground. It is equipped with a roll-up door at one end. The roof/ceiling is made from a translucent plastic to allow natural light to enter the container from above.

How to Use them in RISE

What kind of ARJs are there?

There are five (5) primary types of ARJs:

Cargo
- Aft-loading - It can hold 17 MT of any commodity except for Refined Fuel
- Top-loading - Can hold 24 MT of bulk items (Rare Materials, Common Materials, Fuel Ore)
Passenger - It can hold 20 passengers and provide them safety and comfort for travel (statistical weight of 102.5 kg per passenger with carry-on baggage)
Auxiliary Fuel - It can hold roughly 17,000 kg of refined Iagreous fuel (burns about 1 kg per day for containment, warning beacon, etc)
Munitions - Can hold ordinance of up to 8 Longarm missiles

Where can I buy ARJs?

Rusty's in Deois sells all five ARJ types: passenger, aft-loading cargo, top-loading cargo, auxiliary fuel, and munitions. At Rusty's, choose the purchase menu, then the containers option.

ARJs can also be bought at CPOC. New ARJ purchases require the location to have fabricated material, foodstuffs, and refined fuel available. Check the in-game purchase menu for current prices.

Bring a vehicle with an empty ARJ-compatible cargo bay or cargo bed, and open the bay doors if fitted. The purchased ARJ is loaded directly into your vehicle. This also allows players with a suitable ground vehicle to buy ARJs at Rusty's without travelling to CPOC.

You can also look for ARJs flagged for repossession, open for salvage title, or available for auction at VBay.

Where can I rent ARJs?

Rusty's rents the following ARJ types, subject to available stock:

Aft-loading cargo
Top-loading cargo
Passenger

Use Rusty's rental counter, choose a new rental, then ARJs, select the type, and enter the number of days. Auxiliary fuel and munitions ARJs are available to purchase but are not offered on Rusty's ARJ rental menu.

As with purchases, you need an empty compatible bay or cargo bed and open bay doors if fitted; the rental is loaded directly into your vehicle. Rentals require a credit score of at least 670 and enough cash to pay for the rental period plus any outstanding rental balance. Check the in-game menu for current daily rates.

How can I find ARJs?

To be able to see ARJs in your contact list. Their IVR starts with 0 (ie. 00259)

What kind of information do you get when you scan an ARJ

Typically you will see

IVR 00
Type (Passenger, Cargo, Fuel, Munitions)
Registered to (Owner)
Menu options Shift F to transfer fuel it it Shift C to transfer cash

Destination

What kind of vehicles can load ARJs and how many in each?

T-120 Steerhead - 1 Bay
T-19 Stratomaster - 1 Bay
A-4 Wanderer - 1 Bay
W-6 Manx - 3 Bays
E-10 Saint - 6 Bays
E-11 Saint - 6 Bays

How do I load a ARJs?

Press the "TAB" key to change the selected contact to an ARJ in the contacts list. Scan it by hitting "Shift+S" and it will pull up your scanner on the MFD. Maneuver within 250 meters of the ARJ. When there hit Shift+L to load it into/onto your vehicle. Note: it will load the ARJ in to the first available cargo bay!

How do I fill/empty an ARJ?

Store menus will handle buying/selling commodities to/from cargo ARJs
Passenger menus (curbside, terminal, dock) will handle enplane/deplane passengers to/from passenger ARJs
Refined Fuel can be transferred between an Auxiliary Fuel ARJ and a vehicle
Longarm ordinance can be transferred between a Munitions ARJ and a Longarm Launcher
- The Cargo bay doors (unless on a flat bed like T-120) must be opened first
- Select ARJ in Cargo Manifest for unload, contact list to load.
- Shift L to load shift U to unload
- Keep in mind positive and negative values

How do I unload an ARJ?

Select it in your Cargo Manifest and hit Shift+U to unload it. The ARJ will appear near your position.
