- See transporter for the technology allowing near-instantaneous transport of a person or thing from one point to another.
A transport ship is a limited role starship, usually used to transport people or goods between one port and another. Transport ships are different from shuttlecraft or freighters in that their cargo can be a wide range of things. Examples of transport ships include, but are not limited to, civilian personnel carriers and military troop transports.
Colony ships are a specialized type of transport ship, designed to ferry colonists to establish a colony.
