In starship classification a sleeper ship is a starship where the occupants are placed in suspended animation for all or part of the vessel's journey. The Kishuna was a sleeper ship whose journey lasted for 3,000 years and whose Khadim occupants escaped the U'lanna Civil War. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Generational Ghosts")

Seven were built: the French and Italian fleets were wiped out in the initial surprise attack which started the Alliance/Coalition War. Likewise, the Italian and French Sleeper Ships were apparently destroyed during the escape (perhaps due to lack of dedicated escorts). The interior of the sleeper ship as shown in the opening cinematic of Freelancer shows several decks lined with nothing but sleep-pods filled with Alliance refugees. Obviously, each ship also contained a small stay-awake crew to fly the ship, plus supplies, Earth-lifeforms (including plants, bacteria, and animals such as fish), and other colonization materials. It is difficult to estimate how many passengers were on board each sleeper ship at the time of the Exodus. The Liberty still stands on Planet Manhattan near the starport, apparently refurbished into a building. The Hispania floats in a debris field in the Omicron Alpha system near Planet Malta. Kusari, Bretonia, and Rheinland all cannibalized their Sleeper Ships during the initial colonization of Sirius, and have not bothered rebuilding a "vanity model" like Liberty has.

Sleeper ships proved necessary because of the time involved in space travel, as it could take years to travel from one planet to another.

(TOS episode: "Space Seed") Despite this, many sleeper ships left Earth bound for other planets with the hopes of colonizing them. Amongst the many planets colonized by Earth sleepers ships was Macedon III. (TOS - Star Trek II Short Stories short story: "Under Twin Moons") The Federation did launch a sleeper ship project of its own just after its founding. The sleeper ship was attempting to reach the Magellanic Clouds. This would be a journey of several hundred years. The crew that was put in suspended animation was specifically chartered with the statement that the descendants would be defined as Federation personnel and must obey all rules and laws of the Federation. Because of this, any descendants would not be subject to the Prime Directive as the sleeper ship Betelgeuse (Sleeper Ship) had in 2239. The Federation sleeper ship was later recovered by the USS Enterprise (Ambassador-class). (TNG novel: The Forgotten War)
- A sleeper ship is a hypothetical type of manned spaceship in which most or all of the crew spends the journey in some form of hibernation or suspended animation. As there is currently no known technology that allows for long-term suspended animation of humans, the term is usually only found in science fiction. The most common role of sleeper ships in fiction is for interstellar travel, usually at slower-than-light speed. Travel times for such journeys could reach into the hundreds or thousands of years, making some form of life extension such as suspended animation necessary for the original crew to live to see their destination. Suspended animation is also required on ships which cannot be used as generation ships, for whatever reason. Suspended animation can also be useful to reduce the consumption of life support resources by crewmembers who are not needed during the trip, and for this reason sleeper ships sometimes also make an appearance in the context of purely interplanetary travel.
