Project Defiant

Edit
USS Defiant, NCC-1764

The Defiant

Project Defiant was a project started by Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway in 2380 to find more Terran Empire logs in the Defiant's database from the 22nd century. In 2380, the USS Defiant came out of the mirror universe and out of interphase around the planet Bajor. After returning the Defiant to Starbase 306, Captain Typhuss James Kira finds logs from 22nd century, Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway starts Project Defiant to find more logs in the starship's database. Kathryn Janeway was the project's top research leader and Typhuss James Kira was the project's second research leader. Two weeks after Project Defiant was formed Admiral Nechayev ordered that Project Defiant be shutdown. Captain Typhuss James Kira was assigned to extracting all the logs and deleting them afterwards. Admiral Nechayev ordered that the Defiant be decommissioned, being that the Defiant was a now obsolete design and even if the Terrans were able to enter the primary universe, they would pose no threat.

Purpose[]

Project Defiant was founded to find out what happen to the Defiant after it was lost in interphase in 2268 after Captain Typhuss James Kira found logs from the 22nd century in Defiant's database. It was later discovered that the Defiant was pulled into the mirror universe during the 22nd century in the year 2155. Tom Paris and Captain Kira discovered that Commander Jonathan Archer of the Terran Empire starship Enterprise learned of the Federation starship and lead a mission to capture it from the Tholians. With the Defiant Archer planned to use it to crush an alien rebellion plagueing the Empire, the Defiant rendezvoused with the assault fleet but found only the ISS Avenger remaining. Destroying the rebels, Archer proceeded to assassinate Admiral Black and decided he was going to use the ship from the future to overthrow the Emperor. The aliens on Avenger however lead by T'Pol and Soval, inspired by the database onboard the Defiant describing a United Federation of Planets in the other universe, convinced Phlox, the only remaining non-Terran aboard Defiant, to disable the ship, allowing the Avenger to attack. However, the crew able to restore systems and destroy the rogue ship, killing Soval. Upon the arrival of Defiant at Earth Hoshi Sato poisoned Archer and intended to use the futuristic ship to install herself as Empress. When Starfleet refused to surrender the Defiant was forced to engage a fleet of seven Terran vessels including the dreadnought ISS Imperator, four NX-class battlecruisers, including the ISS Broadsword and ISS Khan's Wrath as well as a pair of destroyers. Despite this the Defiant was able to disable Imperator and destroy three of the NX-class ships before bombarding Starfleet headquarters from orbit, eliminating Fleet Admiral Gardner, and declaring herself Empress.
