Sheliak Colony Ship

A Sheliak colony ship meets with the Enterprise in 2366

A Sheliak colony ship was a type of starship used by the reclusive Sheliak species for the transport of "the membership", which was their term for "colonists". In 2366 one such ship demanded the disbandment of a Human colony on Tau Cygna V. This represented the first contact between the Federation and Sheliak in 111 years (TNG: "The Ensigns of Command").

Background

The colony ship was a modified version of the Merchantman model first used in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The most obvious modifications were two long protuberances and the distinctive blue coloring.
