The Dromo functioned as a massive supply transport for the Empire of the Sith (post–Great Hyperspace War) throughout the conflicts of the Great Galactic War; it was classified as an Imperial superfreighter. This particular starship journeyed as part of a larger group of vessels moving materials from the Kravos system to the world of Coruscant, then under occupation. A smuggler named Zeerid Korr pursued the Dromo, tracking it to the Coruscant area, at which point he physically connected his vessel, the Fatman, to the exterior of the superfreighter.
