The Monarch class deep space freighter is one of the
oldest ships types still in service today. Originally a Klingon design, this
freighter has found its way into every region of known space. There are at
least thirty designs of the vessel, mounting Klingon, Orion or Federation
equipment, or a combination of all three. The versions listed in the
specifications are the two types encountered most frequently in Federation
space.
The Monarch is a P-type (pusher) freighter capable of
mounting adapters to transport most types of cargo container pods in
addition to its interior cargo holds. This flexibility of design gives it
characteristics of a transport and has made the ship a favorite for crews,
as it is able to drop its cargo in emergency situations and gain higher
rates of speed and maneuverability.
