The Jovis was a Zibalian starship, a Zibalian-class freighter in independent civilian service in the 24th century. In the 2360s decade, the Jovis was operated by the criminal trader and collector, Kivas Fajo. It had a maximum speed of warp 3. (TNG episode: "The Most Toys")
Service history[]
By 2366, Fajo had amassed a collection of rare items, some of which were illegal to be held in private possession, like the lapling and Varon-T disruptor.
In that year, the Jovis rendezvoused with the Federation Starfleet starship USS Enterprise-D to deliver a supply of hytritium. The Enterprise dispatched Lieutenant Commander Data was assigned to use the shuttlecraft Pike to bring it aboard. During the transfer the shuttlecraft exploded, and Data was believed destroyed by the crew of the Enterprise.
However, Data had actually been kidnapped and made part of Fajo's collection. Fajo forced Data to comply with his demands to become an object in the collection, but the android brought Jovis crewmember Varria to his side. When the pair attempted to escape, Fajo killed Varria with the Varon-T disruptor. Data escaped back to the Enterprise before Fajo could turn on him, too. (TNG episode: "The Most Toys")
Kivas Fajo's collection was subsequently removed from the Jovis and sold off in an auction. (DS9 - Millennium novel: The Fall of Terok Nor)
In the following years, Data reminisced about his abduction to the Jovis. In 2376, an orb experience induced by the Orb of Memory was one such occasion. (TNG novel: Q & A, DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One)
