The USS Al-Batani was a Federation starship in service during the mid-24th century under the command of Captain Owen Paris. During this time, the Al-Batani was the first Starfleet assignment of Kathryn Janeway. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Shattered")
While under the command of Captain Paris, the Al-Batani participated in the Arias Expedition, with Janeway serving as the ship's science officer. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Live Fast and Prosper") One memorable incident aboard the Al-Batani was the time when Janeway accidentally disabled power to six decks after mis-aligning the ship's positronic relays.

During one of the missions aboard the Al-Batani, the ship became trapped for three days by intense gravimetric forces inside a proto-nebula. (VOY: "Bride of Chaotica!")
