Ramius Vornar

Commander Ramius Vornar was the commanding officer of the USS Independence, a ship charged with security operations on the Beta Quadrant border. A native of the politically neutral planet Farius, a hotbed of Orion Syndicate activity, Vornar beat the odds in joining Starfleet and spent his early career working for Starfleet Intelligence. He moved only to starship operations when handpicked by Captain Jericho to serve as first officer on the USS Triumph, bringing his security experience to border protection missions. At Captain Jericho’s encouragement and with his recommendation, Commander Vornar was given his own ship eight years later, though the Independence continues to work closely alongside the Triumph as scout and escort.

In March 2401, it was discovered that he had been replaced by a Changeling. At this time, Starfleet does not know the fate of the real Ramius Vornar.
