The USS Yandro was a Federation starship, a 24th century Starfleet vessel under the command of Buck Stratton.
In 2370, Stratton responded to a call for assistance from retired Captain Montgomery Scott aboard the Goddard after he encountered a distress call, although the ship was nearly twenty four hours away. After Scott dealt with the situation himself, he sent a followup message to Stratton and the Yandro, informing him the situation was under control but refused two-way communication; this report was filed and passed along to Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who mentioned it after the USS Enterprise-D rendezvoused with the Goddard.
