Vendome was a male Bolian Starfleet command division officer who lived during the late 24th century.

Starfleet career

USS Cerritos 
During the early 2380s, Vendome served as an operations division ensign aboard the  under Captain Carol Freeman and regularly went on away missions.

In 2380, he was with the away team led by Commander Jack Ransom for the first away team for the second contact mission to Galardon. ()

Later the same year, he was a member of the away team that Ransom led to Gelrak V. On that mission, Vendome was supposed to bring the honor crystal which the Gelrakians had given to the Federation first contact team, as a token of good faith. However, because Captain Carol Freeman had eliminated buffer time on the Cerritos, Vendome accidentally brought a wooden fertility totem from Mavok Prime. The Gelrakians took great offense at this, and attacked the away team; Vendome was stabbed in the shoulder with a spear. ()

After the away team was captured, Vendome was among those who were in danger of being crushed by the adjudication geode, but was saved when Commander Ransom defeated the Gelrakian champion Vindor. Vendome's injuries were eventually healed and he presented the correct honor crystal to the Gelrakians alongside Lieutenant Shaxs. ()

Vendome was trapped in one of the ship's conference rooms when he emerged from beneath a conference table after Parizene gas neutralized the terraforming emulsion that had began terraforming the ship. ()

In early 2381, he was a member of the away team that conducted the second contact mission on Apergos. ()

He later participated in the training drills presented by Shari yn Yem. ()

Late the same year, he waited outside Captain Freeman's ready room in preparation for celebrating her promotion to a higher ship. He, like the other crew members, initially cheered the captain as she came out of the room, but quickly became shocked upon noticing that the captain had been arrested. ()

USS Inglewood 

During the subsequent grounding of the Cerritos, Vendome transferred to the . Mere months later in 2382, he received a field promotion to captain after the ship's former CO,  Captain , was regressed to a baby by a temporal rift. Once his command was made permanent, regarded as the culmination of a "meteoric rise", he chose to make his entire bridge crew consist of fellow Bolians.

Upon hearing that Vendome had become a captain, Brad Boimler was dismayed because he saw Vendome as a "goofball" who had gotten lucky, whereas he himself was laboring diligently to climb the ranks with little result. However, D'Vana Tendi pointed out that Vendome would volunteer for every mission he could, good and bad, and had thus opened opportunities for himself. ()

Later that year, an image of Vendome as captain would later appear among the  mined by the Scrubble and Outpost 76 scientists. ()
