At the Battle of Evensong, Becca was given command of the new starship ''Defiant'' that the engineering team had built, having the rank of Captain. She reported to Admiral Jorgen Weight, who said that they should attempt to save the slugs. Becca initially disagreed with the decision, but chose not to judge him as the protocol suggesting what to do was from a previous era.{{book ref|Defiant|34}} She also suggested the battle strategy of having half of the fighters sweep behind the ''Defiant'' with the other half pleading with the inhibitor taynix. She also proposed hyperjumping one of the defense platforms around Detrius instead of the whole planet.{{book ref|Defiant|40}}
