USS Alexey Leonov

The USS Alexey Leonov was a Defiant class starship in service in 2381. During the Borg invasion that year, the Alexey Leonov was defending the planet Korvat along with the USS Gibraltar. Although the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) signaled the vessels to stand ready for an incoming Borg cube, there was little resistance the vessel could provide without transphasic torpedos. When the Borg attacked the planet itself, the Alexey Leonov followed the Gibraltar's example and put itself in the beam's path, sacrificing itself.
