The Enolian prison transport was a type of ship used by the Enolian Guard to move groups of people to prison colonies from Keto-Enol, as crime was rampant in their system.
Technical data[]
Enolian prison transports possessed a long, spindly frame with at least one docking hatch on the port side. They had two impulse engines, arranged vertically. The class was crewed by an average of three Guard officers, consisting of a pilot and two security officers. The class was heavily shielded to block transporters.
Although lightly armed with particle weapons, the class was not designed for combat and would not last long against two Enolian patrol ships.
History[]
In 2152, an Enolian prison transport was carrying Kuroda Lor-ehn, Zoumas, Starfleet's Captain Archer and Commander Tucker, as well as a dozen other prisoners, to Canamar. Partway through the trip, Kuroda and a Nausicaan overtook the Enolian Guard officers and commandeered the ship. The Nausicaan knocked out the pilot, so they had to use Archer to fly the ship to their new heading – the trading outpost Tamaal.
On the way to Tamaal, two Enolian patrol ships caught up with it. They damaged the transport, but Archer devised a way of releasing and detonating warp plasma to disable the patrol ships. They were then able to rendezvous with an Enolian shuttle, but a Starfleet crew was aboard. The prisoners evacuated in time, except for Kuroda, who insisted on staying and trying to take the ship out of its decaying orbit. However, he was unsuccessful, and he died when the ship burned up in the planet's atmosphere. (ENT: "Canamar")
