Talarian warship

Talarian warship

Warship of Captain Endar of the Talarians, who came to reclaim his adopted human son Jono from the Enterprise-D in Suddenly Human.

The Talarian warship was the vessel of Captain Endar, a Talarian officer. Talarian custom allowed a warrior to adopt the child of a slain enemy, and Endar had raised Jono, a human boy born Jeremiah Rossa whose parents were killed in a Talarian attack on a Federation colony.
In Suddenly Human, the Enterprise-D rescued Jono and other Talarian youths from a damaged training vessel. Endar arrived soon after with his ship and other warships, ready to fight for his son. Picard eventually accepted that Jono belonged with the Talarians and returned him to Endar.
