USS Verity (NCC-97000)

The 'USS Verity (') was a Federation starship, an star cruiser in Starfleet service in the 2380s decade. Its commanding officer was Admiral Jean-Luc Picard. The ship's mission was to evacuate Romulan worlds from an impending supernova. 

Service history
In 2381, the Federation learned that the Romulan Star Empire was threatened by a supernova that could erupt at any time, and offered to save the Romulan people.

Four years later, in 2385, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard coordinated evacuation efforts from the USS Verity. The Romulan Senate had granted the ship the right to operate in Imperial space. Picard remained in touch with Geordi La Forge about the construction of relocation ships at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards.

Soon after, the Verity traveled to Yuyat Beta on orders to evacuate its population of 10,000 Romulans. Major-Domus Athius ordered only Picard and his first officer, Lieutenant Commander Raffi Musiker, to beam to the planet. Picard was shocked to learn there was a native population, 4 to 5 million strong. When Picard refused to evacuate just the Romulans, Governor Shiana had Picard and Musiker imprisoned, stranding the Verity in orbit.
