SUV Endeavour Dates was a Galisus-class troop transport in the Navy of the Salarian Union. Part of Task Force Orion, the ship was attached to the Union Eighth Fleet and was tasked with patrolling the border between Council space and the Attican Traverse. The ship was utilized by the STG in 2183 CE and deployed to Virmire to investigate rumours of Saren's presence on the planet; when approaching Virmire, the troop transport was shot down by a planetary cannon and crashed onto Virmire's surface. There, its drive core was turned into a nuclear payload, which was used to destroy the geth base there; the resulting nuclear blast destroyed the base and the remains of the vessel.
The ship adhered to salarian naval philosophy in its naming, and therefore adopted a vague, incoherent name. The term "Endeavour Dates" is a deliberately nonsensical variation of the phrase "Date for the Endeavour."
