Missions
Nightfall: Defiance
At the beginning of the Vaadwaur Invasion of the Alpha and Beta quadrants in early 2402, The USS Leif Erikson was on Freecloud for some R&R. Her crew was initially separated, but they managed to regroup, and with the help of a Fenris Ranger, they uncovered a plan by the Vaadwaur to enslave the citizens of Stardust City and take them to Deep Space 12, which they planned to use as a prison/resource gathering hub. They hatched a plan to save the citizens from the Vaadwaur by using a stolen fighter to do reconnaissance on the ship in orbit, and by retrofitting the stolen fighter's communications module to eavesdrop on enemy comm traffic. With the assistance of a few brave civilian captains, the citizens of Stardust City were saved, and the Vaadwaur ship was forced to retreat. After a brief respite, the USS Leif Erikson was able to open an Underspace Tunnel to Deep Space 12 by adapting the Vaadwaur Navigations Core to the ship's computer. Arriving at DS12 during an assault on the base, the USS Leif Erikson helped repel the attackers. Joined by the recently decommissioned USS Battle and two Fenris Ranger Corsairs, the crew of the USS Leif Erikson led an assault on the Vaadwaur outpost, which was destroyed when the USS Battle collided with the station and detonated her warp core.
