The Helre was the ship that rescued the survivors of the Hyda IV attack, including Fayt Leingod and Sophia Esteed. While they were safe at first, the ship eventually came under Vendeeni attack, forcing the survivors to evacuate in the escape pods. The Helre was cruising at warp 15 on course 231, mark 330 when the gravitic warp field collapsed and the computer detected an anomaly, forcing the transport ship to return to conventional space. Prior to the collapse, sensors detected a space-time disturbance. The vessel's database did not contain any record of such a disturbance, but the onboard computer calculated that the disturbance had a 77% probability of causing the collapsing of the warp field. Upon being ambushed by two Vendeeni battleships, Captain Volga ordered all power be diverted to the shields and set evasion course 291, mark 030. In addition, he gave an immediate order for all passengers to evacuate via the transport's escape pods. The vessel was ultimately destroyed, but it gave the survivors enough time to warp to safety.
