Va'Kel Shon was a male Andorian. Shon was a Starfleet officer who was a captain in command of the USS Belfast and later the USS Enterprise-F.
Shon represented the Federation during the 2409 Borg Conference on Deep Space 9. (STO mission: "Second Wave")
Shon engaged the Jem'Hadar at Facility 4028. He managed to push them back but lost the USS Belfast and most of her crew. (STO mission: "Facility 4028")
Afterward, he was offered command of the newly commissioned USS Enterprise-F. He initially intended to turn down the offer, as he felt that Data should take command of the new ship. However, he met with Data who encouraged him to take command. This changed his mind on the matter and he accepted. (STO short story: "Unexpected Honor")
Shon's command of the Enterprise lead the Andorians to feel that they had returned to prominence in the Federation. (ST magazine: "Star Trek Magazine #40")
In one of his first missions on the Enterprise, he led the assault against the Dominion fleet at Deep Space 9. The fleet was able to retake the station. (STO mission: "Boldly They Rode")
