The toxic waste barge was a large, unoccupied sublight freighter carrying toxic waste that had been drifting through space, eventually endangering the population of Gamelan V in 2367. Upon receiving distress calls from the planet, the USS Enterprise-D towed the barge into the Gamelan sun, almost getting lethal doses of radiation in the process. The barge's propulsion system employed a gaseous core fission reactor but it appeared to have been inactive 300 years. Geordi La Forge referred to it as a "garbage scow." (TNG: "Final Mission")
