The Tholians and the Defiant have appeared many times throughout Star Trek since their introduction in The Tholian Web:
- Depicts Earth's first contact with the Tholians.
- After passing through the interphase the USS Defiant fell into the hands of the Mirror Universe Tholians a hundred years in the past. In a Mirror, Darkly shows the fate of the Defiant and has the Tholians use their web once more.
- The Tholians, or at least their subject race the Chakuun appear in Early Voyages and an ongoing conflict with the Tholian Assembly is frequently referenced.
- The first retrieval of the Defiant, in 2288. The interphase duplicated the ship at this point, leaving one still to be rescued in 2376.
- The Tholians, the Defiant and the interphase all appear in The Sundered, this time facing off against Captain Sulu of the USS Excelsior.
- Interphase see the crew of the USS da Vinci retrieving the Defiant from the interphase.
