The J-class was a starship design of Earth origin which was utilized as a freighter. They were capable of maintaining a maximum speed of warp two, and capable of hauling loads of up to 30,000 metric tons. (ENT: "Horizon")
These vessels have a history dating back to the early 22nd century. They were commonly used by the Earth Cargo Service, but would eventually be superseded by the larger Y-class. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Fortunate Son", "Horizon")
The inertial dampers aboard the J-class were far less advanced than that of later warp capable vessels. As such, all passengers on a J-class freighter would have to hold on to handles when the ship went to warp, or else lose their balance. This is similar to the way Humans would hang onto the handles in subway trains. (ENT: "Horizon")
