| Description | Cargo bays are often equipped with large transporters to assist in the moving of cargo containers. However, aboard Galaxy-class starships, cargo bays located in the stardrive section did not have transporters. In that situation, cargo was directed into the bay by a transporter chief operating in a transporter room. Cargo bays have been used in a variety of ways other than typical storage, including triage centers, brigs, and stasis unit facilities. Cargo Bay 4 aboard the USS Enterprise-D was located close to the outside of the ship and could be decompressed easily by blowing the cargo bay hatch. |
