Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use; the Triangle and Orion space
Data Reliability: C for all models
Major Data Source: Triangle Sector Intelligence, Orion Sector Intelligence
Of the 513 G-3 freighters built, 256 As, 167 Bs, 78 Cs and 66 Ds remain in active service, 28 As, 9 Bs, 10 Cs and 12 Ds have been destroyed; 6 Cs and 8 Ds have been captured; 3 As, 1 B, 5 Cs and 2 Ds are listed as missing; 1 A, 1 B, 2 Cs and 3 D been scrapped; 2 As and 2 Bs have been traded to the Romulans, and 2 As and 1 B have been sold to the Orions and 7 Cs and 15 Ds sold to various interests in the Triangle. Despite its age, the G-3s are produced at Gnuu Re’ and Mustaka, with a combined annual rate of 4. The class name is the Klingon word for yatlh, which translate to “pregnant”.
