The day the ''Defiant'' crashed, the engineers, along with the scientists, mutinied against the command and military staff aboard the ship, after the Krell had surrounded the fleet and begun to attack the vessels. At some point during the battle, an explosion occurred on the bridge. The captain called down to the engine room, giving [[Spensa's great-grandmother]] her commands, however, she disobeyed, instead bringing the fleet to Detritus, using abilities to perform faster than light travel. However, the jump she made proved to be beyond her capabilities and she died. The ships were damaged and crashed onto the surface of the planet, with the engines in the ''Defiant'' being broken. It is unclear whether the ships crashed due to damage they had sustained before, or during the jump, or whether they was fired upon by the active guns found in the planets shielding. {{book ref|sky1|45}}
The people of the ''Defiant's'' fleet formed seperate colonies on Detritus after the ships crashed, until they were unified during the [[Battle of Alta]].{{
