Thanatok

The Thanatok was a Federation Starfleet starship in service in the late 22nd century. It was a cruiser.

The vessel was crewed entirely by Andorians with an overzealous captain. On reference stardate 1/1209.12 (circa 2186), the Thanatok attacked and destroyed an Orion pirate enclave at Brurem. However, a number of civilians were also killed.

The Botchok Planetary Congress protested the civilian deaths, and the Federation punished the Thanatok's captain. 


 * As an early Starfleet vessel with no "USS" prefix name (these are always included in the source) and an entirely Andorian crew, the Thanatok'' is likely to be a former Andorian vessel included in the newly formed Starfleet.
