Shras Endilev

Shras Endilev was an famed Andorian ambassador and brewer, grandson of Sheras Endilev - an Andorian involved in early Federation politics.

In the 2230s, he had a daughter, Phell'Nun. He had hoped she would grow up to join Starfleet and became a famed Starfleet officer, to help reinforce Andoria's relationship with the Federation. Believing this was her goal as well, he often encouraged her not to get caught up in her "hobby" of researching history. But once he realized she actually wanted to be a historian, he was disappointed but understood.

He continued his keths tradition of brewing famed Endilev ale.

In 2266, he was assigned Andorian Ambassador to the Federation. (The Andorians: Among the Clans)

In 2267, he would represent Andoria at the Coridan admission conference on Babel. An Orion spy was some how planted among his staff, impersonating an Andorian, and tried to stop the conference from happening- but in the end was stopped, and the conference went on. Shras was among the representatives that supported Coridans admittance into the Federation. (TOS episode: "Journey to Babel")

Legacy
Many books and biographies of Shras have been written, many prior to the 2250s, and even more later. His daughter, while deciding to be a historian, made a note to read every single one. (The Andorians: Among the Clans)


 * Several vessels were probably named after him: The Andorian transport ATS Shras, in service in the 2270s, as well as the USS Shras, in service in the late 23rd century. Since all of these were probably during his lifetime, they may have been named after someone else. (TOS novel: "Death Count"; Game: Star Trek: Klingon Academy)
