The Glantor Troop Transport is one of the few dedicated troop transports operated by the Ferengi Alliance. Operated almost solely by independent collection agents, Glantor Troop Transports can carry several thousand Ferengi foot soldiers into combat. The Glantor is heavily armored to protect the troops inside and to allow them to survive into transporter range. Shields are not especially strong, however, and it is easy for a few well placed phaser and photon torpedo hits to disable a Glantor Troop Transport.
