The IRW Aethra was a 25th century Romulan Star Empire starship, a Valdore-class heavy warbird in Tal Shiar service in the 2400s decade. Commander Charva served as the ship's commanding officer. (STO - Allies mission: "The Price of Neutrality")
Service history and disposition[]
Charva was a survivor of the destruction of Romulus in the year 2387. She grew close with fellow survivor Torvan Khev. They parted ways when she joined the Tal Shiar. In 2409, the Aethra visited the Chaltok star system, contested ground between the Romulan Star Empire and the breakaway Romulan Republic nation-state. Khev was now an officer in the Romulan Republic Navy. Charva attempted to sway Khev and his commanding officer to join the Tal Shiar and bring Romulans stability. Charva's overtures were refused because Khev's colony, Virinat, had been devastated by the Tal Shiar and their Elachi allies. (STO - Allies mission: "The Price of Neutrality")
The Aethra travelled to the Virinat system to investigate Khev's claims, where they encountered again. (STO - Allies mission: "Memory Lane")
Charva knew that Torvan was searching for his sister Rinna Khev. She contacted Khev's CO with information related to Rinna that led them to the Kinkuthanza system. Rinna was not there. (STO - Allies mission: "Smash and Grab")
The Aethra apprehended Khev's ship in the Azha system. After Charva took Khev's side, the Tal Shiar delcared her an enemy of the state. With Charva off the ship, command was seized by Commander Maurus. Khev's ship defeated Maurus and his Tal Shiar reinforcements. Charva died in the process, and the Aethra was destroyed. (STO - Allies mission: "Tradecraft")
