A Cargo Expansion or cargo expansion is a type of upgrade that can be installed on spacecraft to increase their overall cargo capacity. The expansions add 25 units of cargo capacity to the Orion or 75 to the Galaxy. They are available for sale to privateers at ship dealers. Gabriel Quentin wrote about cargo upgrades in GEMINI SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW.

Secret Compartment (20 cargo units). The secret compartment is yours to keep. It will automatically be moved to your new ship should you buy another one after this point in the plot. It will allow you to keep up to 20 cargo units of contraband above and beyond what your cargo hold can carry. If you purchase 30 units of Brilliance, the first 20 are placed in your secret compartment and the other 10 overflow into your regular cargo bay. The oppo-site is not true. If you were to try to buy 60 units of grain for the Orion with no cargo expan-sion, it would fill the hold at 50 units and then report "no room on ship," as it won't over-flow into the secret compartment. Goods in the secret compartment will not be expelled into space if you try to jettison all cargo.
