These transports were used extensively during the Four Years War to carry
supplies into forward areas. For such missions, they were armed to
help in protecting the convoys from Klingon ambush, but their light weapons
were of little use against the sophisticated weapons of the Klingons.
On one occasion, a convoy made up of 20 Liberties was attacked by a small
group of Klingon ships. They managed to drive off the Klingons,
destroying one with a loss of only two vessels.
