I thought that was due to the freshness problem vs mass.  I can ship 1
dozen
eggs fresh or prepacked freeze dried egg powder 30 dozen in the same
space.
Then the eggs are only good for a week or two of shipping while the
powder
is good for two to three months...

B5 didn't define the difference between military and civilian travel
very
well.  It took the White Star 48 hours to jump from B5 to Earth, but I
don't
remember if we were told directly how long a civilian cargo transport
would
take.
