A cargo pod was a detachable container that held cargo aboard a starship.

The USS Defiant was equipped with cargo pods. In 2373, Captain Sisko ordered that cargo pods with two hundred kilograms of trilithium resin each be attached to quantum torpedoes. He later fired the torpedoes into the atmosphere of Solosos III, rendering the planet uninhabitable to Humans for fifty years. (DS9: "For the Uniform")
