Kelsatha

The Kelsatha is a mercenary ship operated by primarily Yrillian revolutionaries as part of a scheme to aid and encourage revolutionary movements in societies they judge to be insufficiently just and democratic.

Launched in the mid 23rd century as an Andorian Vinakthen-class battle-cruiser, the Kelsatha served with distinction for many years, first in the Andorian Guard, then in the Andorian Survey Corps after the refit to Vinakthen-A specifications. In the late 23rd century, the Vinakethen-A class ships were decommissioned, eventually ending up in a Rigellian scrap-yard, where the demilitarized and partially stripped hull of the Kelsatha was purchased by a Yrillian work gang and rebuilt.

After the extensive Yrillian refit, the Kelsatha participated in the Breen-Romulan War with no particular distinction, perhaps most notable for surviving the Battle of Khazara with no damage and under 1% shield strength. Following the war, the Kelsatha was sent to Morshadd for deferred maintenance and repair. Delays in berth availability resulted in the Kelsatha being present for the bombing of the Licori capital city. The Kelsatha was subsequently instrumental in relief efforts. Following the formation of the Morshadd Commune, the Kelsatha declared for the revolution.

Yrillian Refit
The Kelsatha's current configuration is the result of an extensive Yrillian rebuild of a partially stripped hull, and is not shared by any other ship.
