Initially, the Federation vessels held their own against the attacking ships. The ''Jackal'' and the ''Antietam's'' fighter groups were able to destroy the Bird-of-Prey and severely damaging the Miranda class ships. The ''Antietam'' engaged the larger vessels, but their focus was not on the strike group's flagship. Instead, the focused on the considerably weaker {{Class|Nova}} ''Metis''. The ''Jackal'' attempted to come to the ''Metis's'' aid, but was delayed by the arrival of Sojourner reinforcements. Another Miranda-class ship and another Bird-of-Prey dropped out of warp and engaged the ''Jackal''. | Initially, the Federation vessels held their own against the attacking ships.

− | The reinforcements kept the {{Class|Defiant}} starship busy on the far side of the battlefield. With the fighters busy engaging the Sojourner fighters, and the ''Antietam'' tied up with the Galor-class vessel, the ''Metis'' was left mostly to fend for herself. The science ship took a beating, suffering many casualties. In the mean time, the ''Jackal'' was having better luck with her targets. One of the Miranda-class ships was destroyed, while the newest one was taking steady damage. With the ''Metis's'' warp core on the edge of collapse, and the ''Antietam'' taking heavy damage, all seemed lost for the strike group. Fortunately, the {{USS|Vesta}} arrived to aid the fleet. | + | The reinforcements kept the {{Class|Defiant}} starship busy on the far side of the battlefield.

Even with the failure of her quantum slipstream drive, the ''Vesta's'' superior speed allowed the ship to intercept the forces at Thane. Despite the help of the ''Vesta'', the ''Metis'' was lost. Luckily, the forty-three surviving crew members were beamed aboard the ''Vesta'' before the ''Metis'' was destroyed. Captain Gunning signaled the retreat, and the remaining ships limped back to ''Starbase 332''. |
