The Starliner module does *not* give you the 1,000 cargo needed to transport one million settlers, and is merely needed to give you life support. (You could also put the regular life support on them) The Starliner hull gives you almost all the cargo you need to carry these civilians, but you may need to add more to reach the 1,000 mark. (My memory is faulty on this one)
