'''Freighter''' is a classification for interstellar vessels. 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''', ''page 24''</ref> There are numerous types of freighters of varying designs.

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''', ''page 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''', ''page 77''</ref> Freighters operated by the [[UNSC Navy]] 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", ''page 234''</ref>

[[File:HW2 Ashes.png|thumb|250px|The crash site of a Covenant freighter on the Ark.]]
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}}
