Also known as freighters, cargo ships, cargo carriers, or cargo vessels, these ships were meant for items only, not people. Cargo ships are not necessarily affiliated with the Federation, and are usually only equipped with light armament to defend against pirates and oncoming asteroids. They are known for having engines capable of only low warp speeds,
These vessels have been known to travel in convoys, which sometimes allows them to be more or less susceptible to alien attacks. In some cases, they may be accompanied by an escort.
