''' | '''Freighter''' is a classification for interstellar vessels. These ships are neither armed nor well protected, they consist almost entirely of cargo bay space for their transported goods. Many Freighters are operated entirely by computers and managed by planetary [[AI]]s, however some are still crewed by humans<ref>[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], page 24</ref>. | ||
In the [[UNSC]], many freighters are maintained, mostly to move supplies, food, and equipment to and from fringe worlds in the [[Outer Colonies]]. Most of these are maintained not by the [[UNSC Navy]], but by the [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping]]. Some private companies and individuals maintain their own freighters. These ships can also sometimes be armed and used as warships, particularly by militant [[Rebel]] factions, such as the [[Eridanus Rebels]]<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]</ref>. | In the [[UNSC]], many freighters are maintained, mostly to move supplies, food, and equipment to and from fringe worlds in the [[Outer Colonies]].
