The mercenary vessel commanded by Arctus Baran, which raided archaeological sites in 2370 for pieces of an ancient Vulcan weapon and on which Picard served in disguise.
Baran's mercenary ship appears in the two-part episode Gambit. Its mixed crew is kept in line by pain-inducing neural servos, which Baran controls. The ship is fast and well armed, and its hull resists ordinary sensors.
Picard is thought to have been killed in a bar, but has in fact been taken aboard, where he passes himself off as a smuggler named Galen. When the raiders seize Riker as well, the two act as enemies while working out what Baran is collecting: fragments of the Stone of Gol, a psionic weapon from Vulcan's violent past.
The ship fights a staged skirmish with the Enterprise. Baran dies by his own control device, and the mercenary Tallera is exposed as a Vulcan isolationist who wants the weapon.
