These ships are neither armed nor well-protected, consisting almost entirely of cargo bay space for their transported goods. Many freighters are operated entirely by [[navigation computer]]s and managed by planetary [[Artificial intelligence|AIs]], however some are still crewed by humans.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', p. 24</ref> | ||

Many freighters are maintained by the [[Unified Earth Government]], mostly to move supplies, food, and equipment to and from fringe worlds in the [[Outer Colonies]]. Most of these are maintained by the [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping]], whose [[UNSC commercial fleet|commercial fleet]] consists of hundreds of [[DCS light freighter|light freighters]].<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', p. 23</ref> Some private companies and individuals also maintain their own freighters. Some freighters were also used by militant [[Insurrectionist]] factions, such as the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]] to supply their [[Eridanus Secundus|hidden base]].<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', p. 77</ref> Freighters operated by the [[UNSC]] have the [[hull classification symbol]] of '''DDA'''. Larger freighters are sometimes also converted into [[prison ship]]s, used to transport convicts and goods to and from [[penal colony|penal colonies]].<ref>''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe'', "The Mona Lisa", p. 234</ref> | |||

The [[Covenant]] also operated freighters. During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], one such vessel was shot down by the defensive installations of [[Installation 00|the Ark]], crashing into the installation and exposing the [[Forerunner]] superstructure underneath the surface. In [[2559]], this site became a point of confrontation between the [[Banished]] and the forces of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Map|HW2|Ashes}}{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Ashes}} | |||
