USS Vol'Rala

The USS Vol'Rala was an Andorian Imperial Guard battle cruiser starship in service to the Federation Starfleet in the mid-22nd century. Her name translated from Andorian is Enterprise.

History
In 2161, the newly promoted Resthenar sh'Prenni became her captain, when the Imperial Guard was integrated into the Federation Starfleet.

After the United Rigel Worlds and Colonies entered the Federation in 2164, the Vol'Rala headed Starfleet's efforts to eradicate piracy in the Kandari sector.

In early 2165, she was undergoing maintenance at Earth, so when she assigned to Captain Malcolm Reed's task force in mid-April, the Vol'Rala transported Captain Reed and Lieutenant Valeria Williams back to the USS Pioneer docked at Vulcan Space Central for repairs. The task force's mission was to support and provide defense for Pioneer during her investigations about the Ware and their intentions. Vol'Rala and the rest of the task force was ordered to wait on the edge of the sector to avoid provoking a war.

On May 26, Pioneer was attacked by a group of Ware battleships after raiding a Ware trading post. With the support of the USS Trenkanshent sh'Lavan and the USS Flabbjellah, Vol'Rala destroyed the Ware reinforcements headed for the severely damaged Pioneer, while the USS Kinaph crippled the last drone ship attacking her.

In the beginning of June, the USS Thelasa-vei provided a distraction for the Starfleet task force to capture the Ware hub comlex. A few days later a sizable Ware fleet arrived to retake the station. During the battle, she suffered heavy damage, but was ready for the final assault on the Ware command ship when it was shut down by Lieutenant commander Travis Mayweather and other kidnap victims from the inside.
