In starship classification, freighters or cargo ships are starship types designed to carry cargo, in much the same way transports carry passengers.

The most noticable feature of freighters are their large cargo bays. Furthermore, they are usually equipped with light armament to defend against pirates and oncoming asteroids.

Due to its proximity to the Cardassian Union and the Bajoran wormhole, many freighters docked at Deep Space 9. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)
