Ardra's starship was a starship utilized by a con artist who posed as the Ventaxian deity Ardra in 2367. The ship was equipped with a cloaking device described as a "bad copy" of a Romulan cloak.

The ship functioned as Ardra's base of operations during her many ruses throughout the sector. Through prearranged programs in the ship's computer, the con artist was able to created combinations of force field projections, holography, and transporter effects, which she controlled through an implant that allowed her eye movements to choose and activate each illusion.

One of her illusions, included the extension of the ships cloaking shields around the USS Enterprise-D, and setting up a subspace damping field to make it appear as if the ship was made to disappear. Geordi La Forge was able to detect the ship's power source through a wavelength stretch out, triangulated from the research station located on the surface of Ventax II. The ship was subsequently commandeered by the crew of the Enterprise, and Ardra was taken under arrest by the Ventaxians, effectively ending the ruse. (TNG: "Devil's Due")

Ardra's vessel was depicted as a three-nacelle configuration starship in the DC Comics story "Shore Leave in Shanzibar!" .
