In the 22nd century, Commander Thy'lek Shran was the commanding officer of the IGS Kumari, first of the Kumari-class battlecruisers. He was a notable officer in the Andorian Imperial Guard, and his friendship with Jonathan Archer helped pave the way for the Andorian Empire's support for the Coalition of Planets. (ENT episode: "United")

Following the founding of the Federation in 2161, Shran became an admiral in Federation Starfleet and its Andorian Guard branch. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: A Choice of Futures)
