      I don’t know about in Trek lore, but I think in the real world, when a ship is designed or used to travel from one star system to another, it’s classified as a starship

        In ST they definitely use shuttles and runabouts to travel between star systems, but they aren’t called starships.

          I mean, I did specify “in the real world” and that we were taking about ST, but sure, I guess it applies to SW, too.
