The atavachron enabled the populace of Sarpeidon to travel into the past of their world to escape the explosion of their home star, Beta Niobe, in 2269.

Avenger-class.: Type of Federation starship, a heavy frigate, built in the late 23rd century. The Avenger-class was similar in construction and armament to the Miranda-class frigates and the Siva-class destroyers. (Ships of the Star Fleet [Mastercom]). Since the Avenger-class depicted in the Ships of the Star Feet text is now named the Miranda-class, I used this unused Reliant pre-production sketch as the design for the class which bears this name. It is unclear if any other ships of the so-called Avenger-class could have been built as these or if they were built to the Miranda specifications.; ships of this class/type include:
Avenger, U.S.S.: Federation starship, Surya-class frigate, Starfleet registry NCC-1860. Built by Vickers Shipbuilding Group in London on Terra. The Avenger was refit to a new configuration as the first of a new class of heavy frigate in the 2270s.

Ayala was one of the crewpeople selected to participate in a diversionary attack on the Hanon IV natives because of his running skills in 2373. In an alternate timeline, Ayala was one of the security officers assaulted by Kes when she returned to Voyager in 2376. At some point Ayala began to wear a command uniform and man the helm also. ("Initiations" [VGR]; "Twisted" [VGR]).
Ayelborne.: Leader of the Council of Elders on Organia who welcomed representatives of both the Federation and the Klingon Empire to Organia in 2266. He ignored strong warnings from Federation representative James Kirk that Klingon occupation would have disastrous consequences to the technologically unsophisticated Organians.
