The Class J, was the most mass-produced, most widely known and long-lived cargo ship produced by Earth shipyards, used by both civilians and Starfleet alike, and even far into the 23rd century, there were still dozens of class Js still in use, the last ones finally retired in the late 2260s'.

Notes-
The Class J appeared as a color blob almond shaped ship in the original episode, and I gave it an exterior design, and stats based on it.
