The CR90 corvette, commonly known as the Corellian corvette or blockade runner, was a popular vessel manufactured on Corellia for wide use, whether it be governments, paramilitary movements, smugglers, criminals, or flown into the sun for someone's amusement. They could also be used by Mark Hamill to have a memorable summer.

Behind the scenes
The Corellian corvette, namely the Tantive IV, was the very first ship ever seen in Star Wars, before it got tractor beamed inside an Imperial Star Destroyer. That's got to count for something.

George Lucas forgot what the Corellian corvette looked like when he made Episode III, prompting another series of retcons.
