Designed as the best civilian cargo transports in the late Star League Era, the '''''Cargoking''''' (alternatively spelled ''CargoKing'' or ''Cargo King'') was the civilian equivalent of the military ''[[Cargomaster]]''. Only two ships were built, with one being destroyed during testing and the other (the FSDS ''[[Richard III]]'') disappeared in the [[Kesai]] system in [[2825]].

Designed as the best civilan cargo transports in the late Star League Era, the ''Cargoking'' was the civilan equivalent of the military ''[[Cargomaster]]''. Only two ships were ever built, with one being destroyed during testing and the other (the FSDS ''Richard III'') disappeared in the [[Kestrel]] system in [[2825]].
  
 
Built using state-of-the-art systems, the ''Cargoking'' was automated to such a degree that the ship's crew numbers were kept small, and no additional workforce was required to load the cargo.

After the [[Star League]] accepted the design of the ''Cargomaster'' and requested a civilian model, preproduction began in [[2781]] at the Federated-Boeing industrial megaplex at [[Galax]]. However, when the Star League had fallen and the Inner Sphere was in the grips of the [[First Succession War]], the resources and technology to build and support the massive ''Cargoking'' had become scarce, and so the production was abandoned.

The ''Cargoking'' was armed at each angle with one [[ER Large Laser]] and mixed supportive weaponry: 1 [[LRM-20]] in the front, 2 [[medium laser]]s and an [[LRM-20]] at the sides, and 2 medium lasers in the back. All LRM-20s were outfitted with [[Artemis IV]] fire control systems.

The ''[[Cargomaster]]'', the military variant of the ''Cargoking'', was developed and produced at the same time. Both DropShips shared the same fate.
