Incom's drone barge is usually deployed by large corporations which are in charge of argicultural planets. It is the barges' assignemnet to transport large amounts of crops off the planet. These barges are designed for transportion duty only - that is why they can be described as huge boxes with engines. The barges are amazingly slow, due to the large amount of cargo which can be carried, and not very maneuverable due to the ship's design. The barge does not need any crew as the vessel is fully automated. A droid brain is used to pilot the barge and to operate the ship's systems.
Such a drone barge was once used by Han Solo and Chewbacca to gain access to Orron III, an agricultural world which is also the location of the Corporate Sector Authority's main data center. The Falcon was simply put into the large cargo bay of one of these barges. (For information on the further development of the story, see "Han Solo at Star's End".)
