Tugs are a type of starship designed to tow other large objects (e.g., inoperative ships, small outposts) over long distances. (DS9 episode: "A Time to Stand")
Transport tugs are a specialised type of tug, similar to a freighter, which carry interchangeable external container that dock externally to large autonomously-operable cargo pods (that have their own registry numbers) and tow the entire assembly to a new destination. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual)

The Tug is designed as a haul-pulling tug similar to the game's Baggage, except the Tug is far more compact and enclosed, with only one seat, no cargo hold (the Tug only carries a fire extinguisher in the rear), and a closed driver compartment; like the Baggage, however, the Tug is also consistently painted white. It can be assumed the Tug is adopted for used in other locations other than airports, as it is also present in an underground government base. While featuring a stationary tow hitch similar to the Baggage, it is not capable of towing anything. Contrary to its appearance, the Tug has a high overall speed but low acceleration.
A tug is a limited role starship designed to tow starships or other large objects to another destination. Also known as a towing vessel, a tug is almost always fitted with a tractor beam. (DS9: "A Time to Stand")
In the early days of the Dominion War, the USS Fredrickson had to be towed to Federation space for repairs. (DS9: "A Time to Stand")
In the late 2370s, the Akyazi-class USS Acavus was converted into a transport/tug, and eventually assigned to Pharos Station. (Star Trek: Daedalus: "Into the Reach")
