Shran

Thy'lek Shran is an Andorian commander of the Imperial Guard, introduced in "The Andorian Incident" in Star Trek: Enterprise as an adversary of the Vulcans and wary of the humans. Over time he develops a grudging respect and then a genuine friendship with Captain Jonathan Archer. Commanding the warship Kumari, he aids Archer against the Xindi weapon threatening Earth. He later joins Archer in efforts to defeat a Romulan plot to divide the powers who would go on to form the Coalition of Planets.
