A cargo bay or cargo hold is a general purpose storage facility aboard shuttles, starships and starbases.
Galaxy-class
Cargo bays are often equipped with large transporters to assist in the moving of cargo containers. However, aboard Template:ShipClass starships, cargo bays located in the stardrive section did not have transporters. In that situation, cargo was directed into the bay by a transporter chief operating in a transporter room. (TNG: "11001001", "The Child")
Cargo bays have been used in a variety of ways other than typical storage, including triage centers, brigs, and stasis unit facilities.
Cargo bay 4 aboard the USS Enterprise-D was located close to the outside of the ship and could be decompressed easily by blowing the cargo bay hatch. (TNG: "Power Play")
Deep Space 9
In 2369 Jake Sisko was late for dinner with his father. The computer located him in cargo bay fourteen where he taught Nog in reading. (DS9: "The Nagus")
Nog and Jake Sisko met a Lissepian captain at cargo bay nine to make business with him in 2369. (DS9: "Progress")
Constable Odo told Commander Sisko and Chief O'Brien to take crossover bridge one which will led them into the cargo bay and docking port four. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
After Keiko O'Brien's school was destroyed by a bomb as an act of terrorism, Commander Sisko granted her to go on with her lessons in a cargo bay. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
Miles O'Brien used one of Deep Space 9's cargo bays to install a dart board in 2371. (DS9: "Prophet Motive")
Intrepid-class
The USS Voyager apparently had several bays with the designation "cargo bay 2". One had variable environmental controls and was designed for organic storage. It was converted to a hydroponics bay by Kes in 2371 in order to allow for the growth of foods for consumption. Another was located on deck 4 and suffered a massive hull breach when a Kazon shuttle intentionally collided into it in 2372. In 2374, the Borg assimilated yet a third "cargo bay 2" during an alliance with Voyager. After the alliance, four Borg alcoves remained in the bay and it went back to normal cargo storage. This "cargo bay 2", however, was located on deck 8. (VOY: "Parallax", "Maneuvers", "Scorpion, Part II", "Equinox", "The Gift")
The USS Voyager had two cargo bays, one on Deck 04 (Cargo Bay 1) and one on Deck 08, Cargo Bay Two was in section four. Cargo Bay two was Used for the storage of spare components and surplus materials. VOY: "Drone"
The USS Voyager max cargo capacity was 35,750 Metric Tonnes, in VOY: "The Void" two deuterium tanks were beamed out of Cargo Bay 2.
Constitution-class
The cargo bay of the USS Enterprise was mentioned (but not seen) a number of times:
TOS: “Galileo Seven”: The Enterprise was enroute to Makus Three with a cargo of medical supplies. TOS: “Dagger Of The Mind”: Cargo was beamed down to the Tantalus V penal colony.
While cargo bay is the designation for goods to be delivered to another starship, a starbase, or colony, ship stores’’’ is the designation for crew supplies storage.
The episodes TOS: "Charlie X", TOS: "A Private Little War", TOS: "Assignment: Earth", ship stores mentioned ship stores.
The USS Enterprise 2271 refit, however, was shown to have one large cavernous cargo bay in the ship’s secondary hull, that could be flown into directly from space by shuttlecraft and workbees carrying cargo containers (Star Trek: The Motion Picture). This cargo bay had three levels:
top level - shuttlecraft flight deck, workbee stations mid level – cargo bays, shuttlecraft elevator, shuttlecraft hangar deck, lifeboats low level – cargo bays
Other ships
In 2369 someone broke into the cargo bay of the Kobliad transport ship Reyab when it docked at Deep Space 9 to steal a computer chip with a map of the Humanoid brain. (DS9: "The Passenger")
Under the influence of the Saltah'na, Major Kira Nerys asked Constable Odo to slip through the security system of the Valerian transport and into their cargo bay to check if their shipment included dolamide. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae")
