The Inquiry Part One (Star Trek: Defiant episode)

The Inquiry Part One is the fifth Episode of Star Trek: Defiant Season Two and part of the Klingon War arc in this Alternate Universe series.

Plot
The Defiant has been assigned to patrol the perimeter of the danger zone, while other vessels carry out the difficult and highly hazardous task of retrieving the bodies of the dead from the wrecked warships.

To some alien races, the former battleground is hallowed space. To others, including the rapacious Androssi, it is a scavenger's paradise, ripe for salvage. None expect this ship's graveyard to hold a deadly secret that will force Commander Carter to make a heart-wrenching decision about the path her life will take -- and that will endanger not only the Defiant, but Halliwell's future in Starfleet.
