Colony ship

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

In starship classification, colony ships are starships designed to transport colonists and equipment to new worlds.

A typical colony ship is unarmed and may be dismantled at its destination, in order to provide an initial material base for the construction of further colony installations.

Colony ships are also used in the video game Star Trek: Armada II.
