SS Xylen

The SS Xylen was a Yridian starship, a freighter in service to the Chaltok IV colony, led by the Reman Lortrix, in the 2400s decade. 

History
In the year 2409, the Xylen came under attack from Nausicaan pirates in the Beta Thoridor system. A warbird of the Romulan Republic arrived in time to rescue the Xylen and the nearby Republican Reman mining colony. The mining facility's leader advised the warbird that the Xylen had claimed to trade supplies and persishable items. However, scans of their cargo holds did not find refrigeration units but compact shielding equipment. 

The warbird followed the Xylen to the Chaltok system to investigate whether the Yridian colony there dealt with weapons.
