Jaheel's ship was a type of low-warp cargo vessel operated by the Boslic Captain Jaheel.

In 2369, Jaheel's ship visited Deep Space 9 to have the ship's antimatter flow converter readjusted, while en route to Largo V with a shipment of Tamen Sasheer.

After waiting two days for the repair at Docking Port 5, Jaheel began to complain to the station's Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien of the delay, warning that he would have to do better than warp one to get there before his cargo spoiled. With his crew confined to the station's infirmary with the aphasia virus, Jaheel eventually became fed up with the station's delays and attempted to forcibly remove his ship from the mooring clamps, and deliver his cargo while he could still function.

Jaheel's actions caused his ship's isolation plate to buckle and the main power core to rupture, threatening a possible collapse of the internal fuel cells. The stress of his ship's thrusters on the clamps made it impossible for the station to disengage the vessel and the ship's engines began to overheat. This lead to a fire on the ship's bridge that could not be put out due to a failure in the ship's fire control systems. When the ship had less than fifteen minutes before the fuel cells collapsed, it was manually disengaged from the station and ejected from the station moments before it exploded. (DS9: "Babel")

This ship was described in the script and dialogue simply as "Jaheel's ship".[1]

According to original research posted on Ex Astris Scientia, "the model looks like a ship that had been built by Kenneth Larson for "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", with some modifications to make it look bigger. Curiously the miniature of Jaheel's ship was the basis for the CGI of Neelix's shuttle."
