Commander T'Miak, a Vulcan, successfully assumes command to finish their role in the battle and return to a shipyard for repairs. Later that same year, the USS Poseidon briefly participated in the Battle of Betazed, however was thereafter recalled to assist in the First Battle of Chin'toka. Following heavy damage, but with minimal loss of life, the US. Poseidon return to Federation space for repair and refit.
