Attack Wing Wave 16: U.S.S. Dauntless

NECA/WizKids will release Star Trek: Attack Wing Wave 16 in July and StarTrek.com

has exclusive First Looks at the upcoming trio of ships, which we'll again showcase in a series of three articles. Today we will look at the U.S.S. Dauntless. The Independent Starship can only use Tech Upgrades, but gains attack potential when using said upgrades as well as when it performs an action. Arturis can disable an opposing Captain Card or Crew upgrades and gets a substantial Captain Skill bonus while in command of a Dauntless Class ship. For the first time in the game, players can forego a captain on their ship in favor of Auto-Navigation, which grants a ship a Captain Skill of 2 and also allows a player to switch to a green maneuver, if their chosen maneuver is less than ideal for the circumstances.Maneuvering is key in the game and there are numerous other Tech upgrades that impact this important aspect. While using the Quantum Slipstream Drive, players can remove their ship from the play area and immediately place it back into the play area, but not within range 1-3 of any other ship. Power Distribution Grid can be discarded to forgo the chosen maneuver in favor of any turn on the ship’s maneuver dial. When the battle has unfolded and a player wishes to keep their advantageous placement, Emergency Shutdown is the Tech upgrade they need to stay in place. The Elite Talent, Lure, is also beneficial as it allows a player to change the maneuver of an opponent’s ship during the Planning Phase without the opponent knowing the chosen maneuver.While many of the Tech upgrades deal with a ship’s movement, that is not all that the U.S.S. Dauntless brings to the table. Erecting a Force Field will help in keeping the ship’s upgrades safe from being disabled or discarded due to an opposing ship. Navigational Deflector can be discarded to cancel a hit result and allows a ship to roll Defense Dice against obstacles and minefields. If the ship does sustain damage, Particle Synthesis can be used to repair one Hull or up to 2 Shield Tokens.While undertaking the Revenge mission, the Independent player must race to Borg Space with the captive Federation Crew members before the Federation player can stop them. Players, with the ability to adjust the number of Mission Tokens required for the scenario, can increase the difficulty for either player and replay the mission numerous times to see who is the more skilled op ponent.Visit NECA/Wiz Kids for add itional information about Star Trek : Attack Wing, and keep an eye on StarTrek.com for a preview of the next ship in Star Trek: Attack Wing Wave 16.---

How janeway's new star trek ship compares to voyager.

Admiral Janeway commands the USS Dauntless in Star Trek: Prodigy, and her new ship has some improvements over the USS Voyager and the Protostar.

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1, Episode 11 - "Asylum" Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) has a new starship in Star Trek: Prodigy that seems to outclass her old ship, the USS Voyager, and possibly the USS Protostar as well. Janeway has arrived in the Delta Quadrant in command of the USS Dauntless (NCC-80816), a powerful new class of starship. The Admiral is looking for the USS Protostar, which she believes is still commanded by Janeway's closest friend, Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran). Janeway doesn't yet know that the Protostar's new crew are six teenage alien rebels who want to join Starfleet.

Janeway's USS Dauntless is the first of its kind; a Dauntless-class starship equipped with a quantum slipstream drive. The Dauntless is modeled after a different ship called the USS Dauntless that Captain Janeway encountered in Star Trek: Voyager . The original Dauntless (NX-01-A) was an alien starship disguised as Federation vessel. Arturis (Ray Wise), a member of Species 116, used the Dauntless as a trap to capture Janeway and the USS Voyager's crew in order to deliver them into Borg space. While Voyager's heroes foiled Arturis, they were understandably intrigued by the quantum slipstream drive, which would theoretically vastly shorten Voyager's journey back home to Earth. Janeway's crew built their own quantum slipstream drive but were unable to get it to function reliably. In the years since Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant , Starfleet has perfected a functioning quantum slipstream drive and installed it in the new USS Dauntless.

How Prodigy's Dauntless Compares To Voyager

When the USS Voyager launched in 2371, the Intrepid-class starship was top of the line. By Star Trek: Prodigy 's era circa 2383, the USS Voyager has since been decommissioned after Captain Janeway returned it to Earth. Voyager wasn't the same ship it was when it launched, however. The seven years Janeway and her crew spent in the Delta Quadrant necessitated Voyager being upgraded and retrofitted multiple times, including with Borg technology, and with their attempt to replicate the Dauntless' quantum slipstream drive.

However, Admiral Janeway's USS Dauntless appears to be a superior ship to Voyager in nearly every way. Faster and more powerful than Voyager, the Dauntless is brand new and equipped with a functioning quantum slipstream drive, which potentially makes it the fastest ship in 2383's Starflee t. The specs and crew complement of the Dauntless haven't been revealed yet, but given her years of experience, Admiral Janeway would not mount a dangerous rescue mission in the Delta Quadrant on a starship that isn't the best Starfleet has to offer.

How Prodigy's Dauntless Compares To The Protostar

The USS Protostar is an experimental starship equipped with two warp cores and a Proto-Drive that lets the starship far exceed maximum warp. It isn't clear yet if the Proto-Drive makes the Protostar faster than the Dauntless' quantum slipstream drive, although Star Trek: Prodigy' s midseason trailer shows that both starships will race to see which is faster when Admiral Janeway finally encounters the Protostar. The Dauntless is also a far larger ship than the Protostar, which is unusually small by Starfleet's 24th-century standards. The Protostar may not have been designed for long-term deep space exploration, but the Dauntless is obviously built for multi-year voyages.

Because the Dauntless has a full crew, and Admiral Janeway itself, it doesn't seem to need a training hologram like the Protostar's Hologram Janeway . The Protostar and its young, inexperienced crew seem like they would be completely outmatched by the USS Dauntless, but Admiral Janeway catching Star Trek: Prodigy 's signature ship may not be as easy as she thinks it should be. And little does Janeway know that the Diviner (John Noble) hid a weapon on the Protostar that will cause Federation technology to turn on itself. The Dauntless may end up self-destructing if Admiral Janeway is able to successfully intercept the Protostar.

‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Producer Clarifies Details On Admiral Janeway’s USS Dauntless

| June 8, 2022 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 25 comments so far

An executive producer from Star Trek: Prodigy is offering some insights into an important ship for season one.

Dauntless details

The first half of season one of Star Trek: Prodigy wrapped up in February with a cliffhanger, revealing the very real Vice Admiral Janeway was searching for the USS Protostar. Her ship was revealed to the USS Dauntless, a new Starfleet vessel that used the same design and slipstream drive as an alien ship of the same name that was disguised as a Starfleet ship from the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Hope and Fear.”

Fake USS Dauntless from Voyager

There has been some confusion about that ship, so executive producer Aaron Waltke took to Twitter to try to clear some things up. He started by explaining that even if “Dauntless 2” was a nickname used by some of the writers internally, the ship is officially just the USS Dauntless in canon.

Since I’ve seen some confusion, I should clarify… The ship Vice Admiral Janeway commands in #StarTrekProdigy is called the USS Dauntless, not “Dauntless 2.” It has its own design/registry, inspired by the original. “Dauntless 2” was just a nickname around the office. #StarTrek pic.twitter.com/lAqUm1ghFV — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) May 31, 2022

Why Dauntless?

This post solicited a number of questions, which Waltke has been answering, which included clearing up Janeway kept the name.

It was a fully functioning vessel and the first capable of unfettered Quantum Slipstream. A working theory is a working theory, and the basis of their designs. Names can have power, if you give it to them — perhaps Janeway was reclaiming it for her own? — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) May 31, 2022

Why the same design?

Waltke got into some details on how Starfleet designed the new ship based on the scans brought back by the USS Voyager.

VOY took detailed scans of Arturis’ ship, stem to stern — enough that they were able to build their own partially working quantum slipstream with their limited resources in the DQ. When experimenting with QS to perfect it, Starfleet referse engineered designs they knew worked! — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

He suggested that Janeway’s version might be a bit bigger than the fake one.

I believe it’s around the same size as the original, maybe slightly larger? — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

Waltke noted that the design of the original fake Dauntless was related to the function of the slipstream drive as envisioned by the original designer Rick Sternbach.

Yes! And Rick Sternbach had theorized that hull shape might have a bearing on efficiency in maintaining Quantum Slipstream, so it makes sense that Starfleet would start with what they knew already worked. — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

Why similar bridge?

Starfleet’s version of the ship also used a similar design for the bridge.

Waltke found himself defending this from critiques from Star Trek novelist Christopher L. Bennet, explaining both that it was an aesthetic choice and that it wasn’t an exact match.

Aesthetics. The bridge would be the same size either way, would it not? — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

If you look closely and compare the two, you’ll see they did exactly that. The bridges aren’t identical. — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

What about the registry?

To further clarify, he explained that the reason it isn’t the “Dauntless-A” is because the “USS Dauntless” encountered by the USS Voyager crew wasn’t a real Starfleet ship.

Because the original was a fake Federation ship! If this one blows up, then we’d get the Dauntless A. — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) May 31, 2022

The fake version of the “USS Dauntless” had the registry NX-01-A. Admiral Janeway’s real USS Dauntless had the registry NCC-80816.

He also revealed the origin of the ship’s NCC registry number as the birthday of co-executive producer Patrick Krebs, and that the USS Protostar registry (NCC-76884) comes from his own birthday.

I believe it is the birthday of co-executive producer @patrickkrebs . It was only fair, since my birthday is the registry of the USS Protostar. — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) May 31, 2022

Dauntless class?

He also confirmed this ship is the first of a new class and promised we will see more of it in the second half of season one, coming up later this year.

Yes, it’s a Dauntless class! And don’t worry, you’ll see plenty of front views in the back 10. — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

As I mentioned in another interview, we decided there was a barebones prototype to test the slipstream drive, then they built an official Dauntless class after that of which this is the first NCC. — Aaron J. Waltke (@GoodAaron) June 1, 2022

More on the new Dauntless and second half of season one

In case you missed it, Waltke offered the following details on the Dauntless in his February interview with TrekMovie :

As for the ship Janeway was captaining (or admiraling?), that was indeed a Starfleet recreation of the fake (but fully functional) USS Dauntless. You’ll notice it is not the original Dauntless, as the exterior hull has more of a tritanium finish, the nacelles are a tad different, and the registry suggests it was made after Voyager’s return. If you recall, the crew of Voyager had ample time to study the alien ship version of the Dauntless that was created by Arturis—they took detailed scans of its entire ship schematics. So detailed, in fact, that Voyager was able to later construct a (mostly) functioning quantum slipstream drive from their logs using the limited resources they had in the Delta Quadrant—shaving 10,000 lightyears off their journey. It’s now been several years since Voyager returned to Earth from the Delta Quadrant, loaded stem to stern with data they’ve collected on game-changing faster-than-light technology — quantum slipstream, Borg transwarp, coaxial warp drive, the list goes on. Starfleet has had years to study it and begin to perfect and implement these designs. This new Dauntless is among the fruits of that labor. It only makes sense that if Janeway were to mount a rescue mission back into the Delta Quadrant, she’d take something fast. This Dauntless is also equipped with standard warp technology, as Janeway mentions in the closing scene. We know from  Voyager  and  Discovery  Season 3 that quantum slipstream isn’t easily scalable to be used fleet-wide due to the rarity of benamite — synthesizing it takes years — but the tech still exists in the 31 st  century, even after the Burn. For a single ship, though, having a version of limited slipstream as an option doesn’t hurt.

And at Star Trek: Mission Chicago, co-creator Dan Hageman talked about how the second half of season one will focus on Janeway’s pursuit (aboard the Dauntless) of the USS Protostar:

We’ve introduced Admiral Janeway and her crew. And I just we just love this idea that Admiral Janeway is coming after the kids. She wants that [the Protostar], because she knows that ship leads to Chakotay. And these kids, they thought they were ready, but they don’t know what they’re in for because Admiral Janeway is not going to quit. And with the help of Hologram Janeway, they’re going to do the best they can to keep out of her sight.

Paramount has not yet given a specific date for the return of Star Trek: Prodigy except to say the second half of season one has 1o episodes and will arrive later in 2022.

The letter designation is an extremely rare privilege, much less frequent than a team retiring a number and putting it up in the rafters. The Enterprise and the Voyager are amongst the only ships to get that honor.

That has never been said in any episode or film.

True. Never been said on screen. Gene Roddenberry said it at a convention.

However, we’ve seen some others with letters recently. Discovery doesn’t really count as it’s the same ship, but the Tikov, Relativity, and Excalibur all have letters.

True, but the Defiant does not.

Ufff, great comeback!

It feels overly complicated, and finding an answer only when those questions were asked.

Probably why they didn’t try to squeeze in those answers to the show… only a very small percentage of people would even be asking the questions in the first place, so it’s not worth bogging down the pacing to explain every detail. Personally, I think it makes total sense the first quantum slipstream ship would bear the name Dauntless, especially because we see in Enterprise that in the future, the Federation has Dauntless class ships.

I’m guessing some of it will be explained on the show though. We only saw it for literally less than a minute in the finale. I don’t think they will go into huge details but they still have to explain what the ship is and how it works to its new audience; especially since the show was made for young viewers who won’t know anything about its history and why Janeway has it.

Wouldn’t it have been a lot easier to just say “well it was cheaper to reuse an existing 3d model”

A 25 year old CG model would hardly be easier to translate into modern Vfx, assuming the file still exists.

But I think that you’re missing the point. Prodigy is intended to be an entry point into the franchise. So, it needs to tie into the other shows concretely.

Voyager is currently the most successful among the tween crowd of all the classic series. It’s important for there to be reverse Easter eggs in Prodigy. When kids who watch Prodigy move onto Voyager and see that Dauntless fake, they will be able to straightforwardly connect the dots to the quantum slipstream tech in Voyager and later series.

I love the real Dauntless in Star Trek: Prodigy, to be honest. Unclear on whether or not the midseason premiere would include the “Previously this season on” segment either before the main title sequence or between that and act one.

I like the Dauntless but the fanboy in me would’ve also loved a Quantum slipstream Voyager A too. ;)

Very excited for the rest of the season. I’m really intrigued about where Prodigy is going and can’t wait until they meet up with Captain Chakotay!

That is one ugly ship.

More simple explanation: The production team only skimmed Voyager, saw some mentions of this ship on line but didn’t realize it wasn’t an actual starfleet ship.

See how short that explanation was?

Read this and tell me does this sound like someone who just ‘skimmed’ episodes?

https://trekmovie.com/2022/02/03/interview-star-trek-prodigy-producer-aaron-waltke-talks-timelines-janeways-combadges-and-much-more/

I get people don’t like some of the new shows or think the writers don’t care about canon. But believe it or not, some actually do and take it very, very seriously. And considering this show is basically a Voyager spin off show, I think they are taking everything that show did very seriously because they know fans will ding them for it if they don’t.

Is there going to be an explanation as to why quantum slipstream didn’t replace warp drive during the dark, post-burn years, in Discovery? Or whatever prototype drive the Protostar is using.

I mean the explanation is literally in the article you supposedly read, but OK.

Slipstream uses another even more rare mineral, which also has limited possibilities for reprocessing and reuse.

I really want to put out there how absolutely delighted I am that we’re finally getting a canonical onscreen quantum slipstream Starfleet ship.

As Tiger2 would have it, it’s more proof that the. Berman era EPs were wrong when they argued that the franchise couldn’t go forward in time once Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant.

Slipstream technology played a huge role in opening up exploration in the Relaunch Litverse, especially in the Voyager Full Circle series by Kirsten Beyer.

It works well story wise because it’s based on a mineral that’s even more rare than dilithium, and can only be reprocessed a limited number of times. It also requires specialized configuration of the ships. So it can’t be the drive for every vessel, it’s not civilian tech, and warp remains the principle FTL technology. But it’s not as unique as the spore drive so that it can be distributed across capital ships if used sparingly.

If there are to be more show moving into the 25th century, quantum slipstream will open up exploration in the Delta and Gamma Quadrants in a way not possible in the 90s series.

In terms of the model of the Dauntless, I’m not loving it. It has many of the globby stylistic elements of the 24th century ships but amped up.

I do understand why it’s essential for it to tie into the Dauntless shown in Voyager though. So it’s fine.

I just hope that later slipstream ships will have the graceful designs of the Vesta class of the Litverse. The Aventine is a gorgeous ship, it also an enormous one.

I’ll say one thing, they love their graceful chairs in front of over lit doors in the 25th century and beyond. But I do have a question – “I do understand why it’s essential for it to tie into the Dauntless shown in Voyager though”. I don’t at all. Why is it essential? Wasn’t that a fake Federation starship? I guess it’s to appeal to adults who watched Voyager, but I am pretty sure for new kids they will find that blog ugly and further confused on warp vs. slipstream.

It will be an exciting reverse Easter egg when the kids move on from Prodigy to Voyager. When they get to that part of Voyager’s run they will be able to get the backstory on quantum slipstream.

I still haven’t quite figured out why it’s so, but I recognize that of all the classic series, Voyager has the greatest appeal for middle graders. While many of us loved TOS and/or TNG in after school reruns, Voyager dominates viewership in that age range now.

It was very shrewd to directly tie in the show targeted at kids with the classic series they are most likely to move onto next.

So the plan is to get kids to watch Voyager to kill the franchise again? Didn’t VOY destroy the franchise audience once enough? Fascinating.

You obviously spoke my mind TG47! :)

Yeah obviously agree with everything you said. That’s what is great about Star Trek, they keep taking technology and enhancing it generation after generation. That’s what makes it fun. I’m really happy the makers of this show is grasping on to canon in a big way and imploring it in their stories. And let’s face it, after the Spore Drive, nothing can ever top that lol. That’s why that should’ve been designed in the 32nd century and not the 23rd, but I digress. ;)

When the show first started, I thought we would just go through old Voyager territory in the Delta Quadrant for the newbies. But now knowing the show is going to jump in all the quadrants is crazy but fun. I really hope the Jem Hadar show up at some point in the Gamma quadrant. It’s really giving kids an overview of the Star Trek universe no one show can do except Discovery right now ironically.

And I’m not a big fan of the Dauntless myself. It’s funny but if you watch Trekyards, Cockings LOVE this design and happy to see it back while Captain Foley thinks it’s one of the ugliest ships in Trek. I’m somewhere in the middle but lean closer to Foley. I would’ve loved seeing a Voyager A on this show.

Hopefully this new Dauntless, like the other Dauntless, ends up gone soon along with the over complicated irrelevant time travel plot. Why not send that forward or back in time or whatever to be the other Dauntless that it doesn’t distract from the actual fun show with the kids exploring the final frontier on the other side of the galaxy? Maybe they’ll meet the real Admiral Janeway, realize all they are headed for is the Burn combined with the Young and the Restless on Earth and decide to turn around and go chart their own way. Janeway I think of all characters would appreciate the good script opportunities with the kids on the frontier versus the horrid writing that was most of Voyager. If everyone really wants the real Admiral Janeway vs. holo Janeway, Admiral Janeway can decide to join them and head out there. Maybe the Dauntless gets destroyed and she has to beam over to the Prodigy to escape and they get transported far far away from the holodecks back home.

Overview [ | ]

The original Dauntless -class science vessel, discovered by the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager , was actually alien in origin. It featured Quantum Slipstream Drive technology , which was groundbreaking at the time, but ultimately this ship was created using Particle Synthesis to fool and trap the crew of the Voyager.

Sleek and bullet-shaped, the Experimental Science Vessel is roughly half the size of Voyager . Although created by alien technology, the ship was modified to resemble Federation starships on the interior and exterior by the means of particle synthesis. In 2410 , the blueprints for the original alien starship were closely examined and Starfleet Engineering Corps were able to re-create this impressive science vessel.

Starship Mastery [ | ]

Abilities [ | ], universal consoles [ | ].

The Dauntless Experimental Science Vessel comes equipped with the [ Console - Universal - Particle Synthesizer ] .

Hyper Advanced Quantum Slipstream Drive [ | ]

The Hyper Advanced Quantum Slipstream Drive is a built-in ability which allows the Experimental Science Vessel to travel at Warp 23 for 60 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds in sector space, and with twice the turn rate.

Sensor Analysis [ ]

Sensor Analysis is an active toggle ability. While maintaining a Sensor Lock on a target, the player gains a stacking effect that either improves the damage and power drain against an enemy, or improves any heal directed towards an ally. This effect stacks every 3 seconds, to a maximum of 6 stacks after 18 continuous seconds. To maintain the desired effect, the player must hold the sensor lock.

Subsystem Targeting [ ]

The Dauntless -class Experimental Science Vessel comes with built-in Subsystem Targeting abilities. These built-in abilities stay at Rank I and do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Science starships. They are separate from Subsystem Targeting abilities gained through Tactical Space Bridge officer abilities .

Activating a subsystem targeting ability will upgrade all energy weapons to inflict a stacking power drain on the foe's targeted subsystem for the next 10 seconds. They will also have a small chance to knock the targeted subsystem offline for a short duration.

Specialization seating

The Dauntless -class Experimental Science Vessel features the following specialist seats:

Standard configuration [ | ]

Starships come with standard equipment and weapons of the lowest mark available at the ship's minimum rank. The items provided are appropriate to the type of vessel and its related playing style.

Fore Weapons

Aft Weapons

Scaling starship

This starship's equipment slots, base hull capacity and shield capacity scale as your level increases.

Equipment slots and seating [ ]

As you rank up every 10 levels, up to level 40, the ship's forward weapon slots, aft weapon slots, tactical console slots, engineering console slots, science console slots and available bridge officer (boff) abilities will slowly increase toward endgame capabilities:

Hull strength [ ]

This table shows how the ship's hull strength scales at each level. The base hull of all scaling starships is 10,000, which is then multiplied by the ship's hull modifier (0.9 for the Dauntless -class Experimental Science Vessel), and then multiplied by the scaling multiplier below at each level.

T6-X upgrade

By using an [ Experimental Ship Upgrade Token ] , the Dauntless -class Experimental Science Vessel may be upgraded to T6-X , unlocking an extra ship device slot, universal console slot, and the ability to slot an extra starship trait . Note that upgrading the Fleet Dauntless Experimental Science Vessel , the fleet version of the Dauntless Experimental Science Vessel, will not apply the upgrade to this starship.

USS Dauntless (NCC-71879)

Service history and disposition [ ]

Early years [ ].

Under the command of her first captain, Leland Bell , the Dauntless joined the Seventh Fleet in 2365 . Her first assignments were routine - some would call them "milk runs." This changed rapidly when she was involved in a series of skirmishes with a flight of Romulan warbirds in a disputed area of the Alpha Quadrant . The Dauntless acquitted herself with distinction, holding the area until other Starfleet vessels could come to her aid. This action earned her first Unit Citation.

During the unsettled period that followed, the Dauntless was assigned various tasks, including scouting and reconnaissance patrols. This invaluable service earned her a reputation and a nickname "The Seeing Eye."

Completing her seventh year of service, the Dauntless returned to space dock for refit and equipment upgrades. At this time Captain Bell retired, and Captain Robert Wright became her commanding officer.

Dominion War [ ]

During the Dominion War , the Dauntless fought with elements of the Seventh Fleet at the Battle of Tyra , Operation Return , the Battle of Goralis, and the Battle of Cardassia . At the Battle of Tyra, she earned her second Unit Citation and battle honors by joining the USS Lionheart in the protection of two severely damaged Akira -class starships from an attack by an overwhelming force of Cardassian vessels.

The Dauntless earned her third Unit Citation during the Battle of Cardassia by fighting with bravery and distinction. While taking heavy damage, she provided cover for the flagship and fought off four suicide attacks by Cardassian vessels wanting to take it out.

Vesuvi incident [ ]

After the war, the Dauntless returned to normal duties. On stardate 54303.1, the Dauntless was assigned resupply the colony on Draegos . During the mission, the Vesuvi sun suddenly exploded, destroying most of the Vesuvi System and killing Captain Wright. The Dauntless's first officer was promoted to Captain, and following much needed repairs a full investigation was launched on the incident. The Dauntless senior staff transferred to the newly refitted USS Sovereign . Captain Jae Yi became the vessel's new commanding officer. The crew of the Sovereign found that star's destruction had been deliberately caused by a rogue Cardassian faction, led by Legate Matan . After a series of skirmishes, this rogue faction formally declared war on the Federation. Although Matan was easily defeated, the Dauntless was destroyed during the conflict.
