Valdore

Valdore (2102-2159) was a high-ranking official in the Romulan Star Navy in the 22nd century.

In 2154, Valdore oversaw an operation to destroy relations between the Andorians and [{Tellarite]]s by using a holographic disguised drone ship to frame both sides for attacks against the other. However, the operation backfired and Humans, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites joined together to counter the threat. 

For his terrible mistake, Valdore was demoted from Admiral to Commander, where he began active duty as commander of a Bird-of-Prey, the Sela. Not long after, the Earth-Romulan War was declared.

Death
Valdore was charged with leading the Battle of Sector 2148 when his vessel was stationed there to oversee defense. When the Earth fleet emerged for the surprise attack, Valdore held them off until backup could arrive. However, things quickly spun out of control when MACO landed on the various Romulan controlled planets throughout the system. Although before he had failed, Valdore died heroically in the eyes of the Star Empire when his ship was destroyed by Enterprise. He was survived by his wife and two children. 

Legacy
Admiral Valdore was apparently well remembered even into the 24th century. The IRW, a warbird was named in his honor.
