In the mirror universe, the Terran Space Defense Fortress, also known as Earth Space Defense, was a 25th century Terran Empire space station, a Spacedock type starbase in Imperial Starfleet service in the 2410s decade. Its commanding officer was Fleet Admiral Jorel Quinn. (STO - Terran Gambit mission: "Operation: Wolf")
The station was also known as Earth Spacedock. (TOS - Mirror Universe short story: "The Greater Good")
Marshal Kathryn Janeway called it Terran Spacedock. (STO - Terran Gambit mission: "Red Shift")
Service history[]
Following a disaster with a dikironium cloud creature, the ISS Farragut docked inside Earth Spacedock for repairs in 2264. (TOS - Mirror Universe short story: "The Greater Good")
Jorel Quinn, a Trill, was in command of the station in the 2410s. He was the counterpart of Fleet Admiral Jorel Quinn, station commander of Federation Starfleet's Earth Spacedock. In the year 2411, Admiral Leeta (mirror) plotted with Prime Quinn to assault the Terran Space Defense Fortress. She created a holodeck training program for Khitomer Alliance personnel. (STO website: Reflections: Infiltrate and Destroy in Operation: Wolf!)
In the simulation, a five-captain team accompanied a trio of Exocomp hackers who infiltrated the Terran Space Defense Fortress in order to capture the Terran database. During the test, Quinn led his troops personally to defend Terran intel but was forced to fleet into a Danube-class runabout, the ISS Tigris. The Tigris kept fighting the Alliance away team in the shuttlebay on Deck 47 but suffered critical damage, and exploded during Quinn's attempted retreat. Admiral Leeta looked forward to turning the simulated "Operation Wolf" into a reality. Based on her intel, the simulation identified various Imperial starships docked within and operating from TSDF.
