Federation Colony Ships were warp capable starships of varying size utilized by the Federation Starfleet to establish footholds on new worlds. Colony ships carry more than enough equipment and colonists to set up a fledging colony on a new planet.

Colony Vessles used a series of pods to transfer this equipment to the surface. They can only be used once, as once colonization is complete, the colony ship itself will land on the planet to be dismantled and the materials used to construct the new colonies initial buildings. (TNG video game: Armada II)
