The T'Pau and two sister ships. (2368)

TPau - Qualor II database display

Database display containing information on the T'Pau.

The T'Pau (NSP-17938) was a Vulcan transport formerly assigned to the Vulcan National Merchant Fleet, named in honor of Vulcan matriarch T'Pau.

The T'Pau was decommissioned in 2364, and was later sent to Surplus Depot Z15 at Qualor II, where it was registered on stardate 41334.2, and stationed at Section-18-Gamma-12. At that time, it was stripped of materiel, armaments and sensors - its navigational deflector array being routed to the holding vessel USS Tripoli.

In 2368, the array was found in debris from a Ferengi cargo shuttle. Upon investigation at Qualor II, it was discovered that the ship had been stolen from its resting place in the surplus depot by a Ferengi arms dealer named Omag, who transferred it to a Barolian freighter near Galorndon Core. The Barolians later transferred it to the Romulans, who in turn, refurbished the vessel and used as part of a "peace" envoy, a ploy used by the Romulans in their failed attempt to conquer Vulcan. (TNG: "Unification I", "Unification II")

Background

The T'Pau was identified in the 2nd and 3rd editions of the Star Trek Encyclopedia as an Apollo-class starship. Its registry is derived from the Okudagram appearing in "Unification I".
