Ni'Var (starship)

__NOTOC__
The Ni'Var was a Vulcan combat cruiser that was in service with the Vulcan High Command in the mid-22nd century. The vessel was commanded by Sopek.
In 2151, the Vulcan High Command sent the Ni'Var to transfer Sub-Commander T'Pol off and back to . This was due to her role in the destruction of the sacred Vulcan monastery of P'Jem. However the ship never completed the transfer as in the meantime T'Pol and Jonathan Archer were captured on Coridan; the Ni'Var sent a commando squad to the planet for their rescue, during which T'Pol was injured saving the life of Sopek. As a result, the chief medical officer of the Enterprise, Doctor Phlox, prohibited her transfer until her recovery, while Sopek was persuaded to ask for leniency for her before the High Command. ()
