Connecting with the voyages of the ongoing Star Trek comic series, Defiant ventures into the dark side of the cosmos!

Original Star Trek: Defiant writer-artist duo Christopher Cantwell and Ángel Unzueta delve into the sci-fi horror genre in arc four of the fan-favorite series!

It's the beginning of a new era for the disavowed, mercenary crew of the U.S.S. Defiant! Political corruption ensues as Sela and her father, General Revo, leverage the imprisoned Defiant crewmates to kidnap the Romulan praetor and chairman of Tal Shiar Intelligence to advance their sinister plot to take over Romulus…

This leaves Worf, B’Elanna, and Ro with two crewmates down, and a planet on the brink of Romulan invasion. Despite how hopeful the planet’s meager farming population is, what are three failed Starfleet officers and lowly resistance fighters to a heavily armed and technologically advanced Romulan strike team?

Collects issues #17–21 of the series.
