The Axanar combat vessel was a type of starship used by the Axanar during the mid-22nd century. This type of vessel was heavily armed, possessing a minimum of three high-yield particle beam weapons.

In 2151, a ship of this type responded to a distress signal sent from a cargo vessel by the crew of the Enterprise. There, the Axanar combat vessel discovered Enterprise captured by an unidentified starship. After discovering that the hostile vessel was responsible for killing the cargo ship's crew, the combat vessel freed Enterprise and proceeded to destroy the hostile vessel with very little resistance.
