The Plen Zha Free Trader is an older Klingon freighter design used primarily by civilian interests within the Empire. The Plen Zha is slow and cumbersome, but is better armed than many merchant craft. Such freighters are often operated by disenfranchised Klingons who hope to make enough profit running cargo to one day buy themselves and their house a small fleet of warships, trading in their Plen Zha for an antiquated battlecruiser or personal bird of pey craft to command.
