Three Cardassian freighters under attack.

Cardassian freighters were types of freighters of various type and design, utilized by the Cardassian Union during the 24th century.

In 2367, the Cardassians utilized supply ships that ran with high energy subspace fields in order to jam the sensors of any ship that attempted to scan them. Although the Cardassians claimed that these vessels were used to carry scientific equipment for their research stations, the Federation suspected they were actually used to transport weapons. Cardassian supply ships had a crew of fifty. (TNG: "The Wounded")

This Cardassian supply ship model was a re-use of the Pakled starship, Mondor, first seen in TNG: "Samaritan Snare".

In late 2367, Kriosian rebels attacked a Cardassian freighter near the Ikalian asteroid belt near the Klingon border. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")



A second type of Cardassian freighter used by the Cardassians was in service in 2370. This type of vessel had a crew of seventy-five and was capable of hauling fourteen metric tons of golside ore. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")

This Cardassian freighter model was a reuse of the Merchantman model from Star Trek III.

Ships of the Class



Three more types of Cardassian freighters were in service during the Klingon-Cardassian War in 2373. After an outbreak of Rudellian plague on Pentath III, the Cardassians prepared seven convoys of these vessels to transport medical supplies and relief workers over a period of a week. However, since the Cardassians didn't have the warships available to protect the relief convoy, they asked for Starfleet protection. The USS Defiant was assigned to escort convoy number six. On stardate 49648, the Defiant was engaged by a group of Klingon raiders that were attacking the freighters, an engagement which eventually set the stage for the inadvertant destruction of a Klingon civilian transport. (DS9: "Rules of Engagement")

Two of these freighters were reused Bajoran ship models, the Antares-class carrier and Bajoran transport, the third was a reuse of the Cardassian military freighter, which was later used as a Cardassian transport.
