Transport

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Size comparison of various transports.

A transport was a small or medium sized spacecraft or other such craft commonly used for short cargo (or smuggling) runs that didn't require the use of a bulky freighter. Usually equipped with a hyperdrive, though this was not always the case, transports came in a wide variety of sizes and specifications and were produced by a large number of companies. A good example of such a craft is the Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 light freighter, which could be configured for various goods, Human or otherwise. This class of spacecraft was very easy to modify and adapt, and as such was popular amongst smugglers and pirates.

Although most transports were owned and operated by civilians and the criminal element, some militaries used them for the movement of troops and/or their equipment, such as the Sentinel-class landing craft, by Cygnus Spaceworks, used by the Imperial Navy to swiftly deploy its personnel to planets below.
