Notes

This vessel was encountered by the NX class Enterprise in 2152. The vessel is composed of a central axis with at least twelve docking ports for smaller Suliban vessels. The one Enterprise met had twelve Module ships attached, but it seems likely that Cell ships could also dock to the spine. It is not known if this particular vessel and configuration was common amongst the Suliban. [1]

Comments

The Suliban Salvage ship was seen in Enterprise : "Future Tense". It appears to be a composed of a dozen Module ships grouped around a central "spine" which has further hardware at the head and tail - presumably a command centre and engine system respectively.

We know little about the ship beyond this. It didn't seem to have much in the way of firepower - certainly not as much as you would expect from a dozen Module ships. So perhaps the Module ship weapons are disabled whilst they are combined like this, or perhaps the Module ships themselves are not very heavily armed? We can't really know.

We can fairly safely assume that this ship is capable of Warp 5+ and that it has at least one tractor beam. It may or may not have a cloaking device.
