The ISS Enterprise's XO, Commander Jonathan Archer had received intel about a Terran vessel from a alternate universe that the Tholian Assembly had captured. Archer tried to convince Captain Maximilian Forrest to divert from their rendezvous with Admiral Logan Black's assault fleet so they could take the ship. However, Captain Forrest refused until he received orders from Admiral Gardner to undertake the mission by giving the Enterprise a Suliban cloaking device. The Enterprise was able sneak past the Tholian patrols and board the ship, the USS Defiant, before the Tholians' slaves could gut the ship. Despite the Enterprise being destroyed by the Tholians' web, Archer was able to take the Defiant and rescue the surviving crew from the escape pods.
