The Tantive IV Alderaan Diplomatic Envoy/ˈtæntɪˌvifɔːr/ (also referred to by its model as the CR90 Corellian corvette or simply as the Rebel Blockade Runner)[1] is a fictional spaceship in the Star Wars film series. Designed by the Corellian Engineering Corporation (CEC), the highly modified CR90 corvette is designed to be utilitarian, durable, modular, with its simplistic interiors featuring subtle luxury for Alderaan officials. It was used by Leia Organa in the original Star Wars film[a] and was the first vessel audiences saw when Star Wars premiered in 1977. Other CR90 Corellian corvettes, which share the Tantive IV's design, appear in Return of the Jedi and in the Star Wars Expanded Universe's books, comics, TV series, and games.
The ship first appeared in 1977 with the release of "Star Wars: A New Hope." It had a major role as the personal ship of Princess Leia, a key member of the Rebel Alliance, carrying the plans of the enemy superweapon "Death Star." After it was captured by the Galactic Empire, the ship was towed to an Imperial scrap yard for scuttling. Later, the Blockade Runner was rescued and returned to General Organa and its last appearance was in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, where it was destroyed by Emperor Palpatine's lightning attack.
