The Alpha-class heavy transport was a 400 meter-long starship, used for both cargo and passenger transport, that was manufactured before 4000 BBY by Corellia StarDrive. One such transport, named the Sun Runner, was used as a colony ship around 4000 BBY by the Margrave Octan, who transported his family and 867 other colonists from the Darpa Sector to the Fondor moon of Nallastia, in the Tapani sector.
