Passenger freighter
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A passenger freighter was a class of starship designed and manufactured largely for the transportation of sentient passengers.
[edit] History
Around the time of the Galactic Empire, the Procurator of Justice Lord Hethrir had a fleet of such freighters constructed for the use of storing his enemies in suspended animation including the remnants of his own people after he collaborated with the Empire to destroy their homeworld.
Hethrir believed that both he and the Empire would last a thousand years. Thus, after a thousand years, Hethrir planned to return to those freighters and awake their prisoners from their sleep, in the hopes that they would remember him as an all-powerful god whom they had to obey.
