The Manticle was a large Devore warship in service to the Devore Imperium in the late 24th century. Inspector Kashyk was in charge of the Manticle when his people were part of the Kinara alliance. The Manticle's crew was diverse and included Devore, Turei, Vaadwaur and other species serving as officers. (VOY novel: Acts of Contrition)
Service history and disposition[]
In February 2382, the Manticle was the largest Devore starship among the Kinara vessels blockading the Gateway to the First World. When the CIF Fifth Shudka and USS Vesta exited the Gateway to open a dialog between the Confederacy of the Worlds of the First Quadrant and the Kinara, the Manticle was among the ships participating in the battle of the Gateway when the negotiations broke down. During the battle, the Manticle fired on the Vesta when the Federation starship focused its attention on a Voth Citadel-class dreadnought. A cease-fire between the Confederacy Interstellar Fleet, Starfleet and Kinara forces was reached when Vice admiral Kathryn Janeway agreed to turn herself over to the Kinara to stand trial. A shuttlecraft delivered Janeway to the Manticle's shuttlebay and departed afterwards. (VOY novel: Acts of Contrition)
Acting as a cruiser within the Kinara fleet, the ship was destroyed when the Seriareen conspiracy came to light. (VOY novel: Atonement)
