History[]
A Elachi ship attacks the Enterprise in 2151
In September 2151, a vessel of this type destroyed the subspace relays Echo One and Echo Two. It also attacked the United Earth vessel Enterprise (NX-01) twice. The third time it attempted to do so, Enterprise was ready for it and using their newly installed phase cannons, damaged the alien vessel to such an extent that it fled the scene at high impulse. It was never seen again until 2163. (ENT episode: "Silent Enemy")
In January, 2163, the USS Endeavour responded to a distress call from an Axanari ship, that has been attacked. Shortly after their arrival the silent attackers returned, and Captain T'Pol found herself in a familiar situation. They engaged and forced the vessel to retreat, and reported the encounter to Starfleet Command. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: A Choice of Futures)
It was never seen again until 2388, 225 years later. In 2388, Starfleet Command lost contact with Regula I after the USS Columbia was destroyed by a Elachi starship, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway sent the USS Intrepid-A and a small fleet to Regula I in the Mutara sector. Vice Admiral Janeway came with the fleet aboard Voyager. The fleet got a distress call from the USS Stargazer, it was under attack by Elachi ships. The fleet sets a course for Regula I using their quantum slipstream drives. Twelve hours later the fleet arrived at Regula I, the fleet engaged the Elachi ships and forced the vessels to retreat from Regula I, and reported the encounter to Starfleet Command.

Technology[]
As a 22nd century starship, this vessel was highly advanced in a technological regard, possessing strong shields and technology that prevented invasive scans from other vessels. It utilized a powerful energy weapon that fired green, crescent-shaped pulses. It had a crew of at least 15 individuals, and carried at least one shuttlecraft. It also had the ability to emit a powerful dampening field which could effectively disable an NX-class starship. (ENT episode: "Silent Enemy")
