Mathan's battleship was a 25th century Benthan Protectorate starship, a battleship in Benthan Guard service in the 2410s decade.
Service history and disposition[]
In the 2410s, this battleship was stationed in the Neles star system, which was considered neutral space. The Benthans kept an eye out for illicit activities in general and criminal behavior by the Hazari in particular.
In the year 2410, Ambassador Neelix of Alliance High Command negotiated with the Hazari bounty hunter Y'Dren for Hazari membership in the Delta Alliance. Y'Dren had a list of demands to get the Benthan Guard off his people's neck. When another Alliance ship arrived to support, Neelix suggested contacting the nearby battleship to open communications with the Benthan high justicar. Mathan responded and agreed to some of Y'Dren's demands.
Y'Dren agreed to draw up a contract and offered Captain N'Keden to the Benthans. The Alliance disabled N'Keden's ship and delivered him to Mathan's battleship, where the prisoner quickly escaped. Mathan was unperturbed, has that had been the Guard's plan. (STO - Delta Quadrant mission: "Alliances")
