Cargo Containers
Cargo containers are somewhat of a paradox. They need to be study enough to withstand the vacuum of space and being jostled around in the cargo hold, but they can't be so strong that they are worth more than the cargo. Therefore, they are made of a semi-soft alloy that is flexible, but weak. This unfortunately allows rodents the possibility of chewing through the case and feasting on what is inside.
