Captain Soban was the commander of the Ferin Sha fleet during the Vaygr War. When the Pride of Hiigara is forced to perform an emergency hyperspace jump moments before the complete destruction of Tanis Station, the fleet had to rendezvous with the Bishop convoy; they were carrying most if not all of the Mothership's crew complement. When they fell under attack by the Vaygr, Captain Soban came to their aid with several frigates from the Ferin Sha fleet. Ordering all Sobani to attack the Vaygr forces, he heroically saved the transports and directed the Pride to run as far away from Hiigara as possible.
