![]() Most disturbingly was that this advantage neutralized the tactics of the spore-equipped Discovery, which arrived to assist the Gagarin but could not save the stricken ship. A group of Klingon vessels utilized the new advantage to destroy a group of Starfleet vessels on patrol simultaneously, including the USS Gagarin.

The plan worked better than expected when, due to unforeseen circumstances, Admiral Katrina Cornwell arrived in the place of Sarek. However, this was, in fact, a ruse by Kol to capture a high-ranking Vulcan. Starfleet believed that he had ousted the House of D'Ghor and the House of Mo'Kai, who secretly approached Vulcan to discuss a potential alliance. ( DIS: " Choose Your Pain", " Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad")Īround this time, General Kol established a new ruling council. Starfleet started building spore drive units in a secret facility on Earth, while directing every ship, colony, and starbase to search for more tardigrades. In the three weeks following the relief of Corvan II, Discovery further used its drive to break the Klingon supply line at Benzar and rout an attack through the Ophiucus system. ( DIS: " The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry")Īfter their first success with the spore drive, Discovery quickly became the most important weapon in the Federation arsenal, causing the tide to turn and the Federation to start winning. With the closest ship much further away, the Discovery quickly responded, outmaneuvered, and destroyed the attacking Klingon vessels. By the time the colony managed to get out a distress call, the planetary defense shields would only hold another six hours under the continued Klingon bombardment. Without the planetoid, a sizable part of Starfleet would be grounded. In November of 2256, a Klingon force managed to slip past the blockade defending Corvan II, a major resource hub whose mines produced forty percent of the dilithium supplies in the Federation. ![]() ( DIS: " Context Is for Kings", " Choose Your Pain") This was made possible by capturing an alien called a tardigrade. Six months into the war, the Discovery managed to practically implement the drive and went on to achieve a string of victories. As part of this effort, Starfleet co-opted research by Paul Stamets and Straal into an experimental spore drive. ( DIS: " Context Is for Kings")Ĭaptain Gabriel Lorca of the USS Discovery claimed that, sometime after the war began, he was given the freedom to do whatever it took to win the war, even if it meant breaking the rules of Starfleet. In the first six months, the Federation lost 8,186 people. This battle was provoked by T'Kuvma, a Klingon from the House of T'Kuvma, to rally the Empire to a common cause as he had portrayed the Federation as an existential threat, whose space had encroached unacceptably close upon that of the Klingons. The outbreak of the war was marked by the Battle of the Binary Stars on stardate 1207.3.
