The '''Defiant''' is a battle cruiser{{book ref|sky1|1}} and the biggest spaceship in a small, independent, nomad fleet of humans, that crashed on [[Detritus]] after being attacked by the [[Krell]]
== Fleet ==
The fleets crews are multicultural{{book ref|sky1|14}} and made up of many divisions including; command, scientists, engineers, marines, and gunners. It is unclear whether the many cultures that can be found within the fleet are dispersed across the ships or whether different ships originated from different countries on Old Earth. The engineers of the ''Defiant'' are treated as outsiders by the rest of the fleet's crew due to their ability to control the engines. As this group was also the first to be able to explore space, this distrust may also stem from jealousy.{{book ref|sky1|45}}
Some technology, such as light-lines{{book ref|sky1|3}} and holographic projectors,{{book ref|sky1|9}} survived the crash, as well as subsequent destruction of the fleets electronic archive, and were passed down through the generations.{{book ref|sky1|3}} Before the crash, light-lines were used by the engineers while they worked on ship machinery in zero gravity.{{book ref|sky1|14}} Schematics of starships also survived the ships destruction.{{book ref|sky1|6}} ▼
== History ==
The day the ''Defiant'' crashed, the engineers, along with the scientists, mutinied against the command and military staff aboard the ship, after the Krell had surrounded the fleet and begun to attack the vessels. At some point during the battle, an explosion occurred on the bridge. The captain called down to the engine room, giving [[Spensa's great-grandmother]] her commands, however, she disobeyed, instead bringing the fleet to Detritus, using abilities to perform faster than light travel. However, the jump she made proved to be beyond her capabilities and she died. The ships were damaged and crashed onto the surface of the planet, with the engines in the ''Defiant'' being broken. It is unclear whether the ships crashed due to damage they had sustained before, or during the jump, or whether they was fired upon by the active guns found in the planets shielding. {{book ref|sky1|45}}
The electronic archive of the ''Defiant'' survived the crash, however, was destroyed, along with a majority of the senior leadership and professionals of the fleet killed, when the Krell dropped the first Lifebuster bomb, not long after the humans arrival at Detritus.{{book ref|sky1|17}} Following this event, the people of the ''Defiant's'' fleet formed seperate colonies based on
