Aries

Federation starship where Ensign Mendez served as her last known posting before vanishing without warning during the Tarchannen Three investigation. Officers reference it in the Enterprise Observation Lounge to map the timeline of disappearances—Brevelle's desertion, Mendez's abrupt absence, Hickman's shuttle theft—highlighting the pattern now repeating with Geordi and Susanna as final survivors. The ship's unseen decks carry the weight of unresolved loss, fueling the crew's urgent dread.
