Garbage scow

In starship classification, a garbage scow or waste barge is a freighter outfitted for the transport of toxic or otherwise dangerous waste or, more generally, garbage.

Reputation
In general, very little was thought of garbage scows. To serve on, or to command, a garbage scow, was considered one of the most undesirable postings in the Federation and Lyran Starfleets. Vox'ula once insulted Brianna Reiss by telling her that her place in the Lyran Starfleet was that of a garbage scow captain.
