== Fleet ==
The fleet is comprised of one main ship, the ''Defiant,'' four smaller ships, and thirty starfighters, and made up of a combination of trade and mercenary vessels.{{book ref|sky1|45}} One of the gunships that accompanies the ''Defiant'' is the [[Antioch]].{{book ref|sky1|7}} The ''Defiant'' is the only ship capable of faster than light travel using a [[cytonic]] controlled hyperdrive, with the other ships attaching to the ''Defiant'' before the jump occurs.{{book ref|sky1|45}}
 
The ships hyperdrive and engines are controlled by a cytonic. The ship can move without a cytonic, however, its FTL capabilities are inaccessible.{{book ref|sky1|45}}
 
The shipsfleets crewcrews isare multicultural{{book ref|sky1|14}} and made up of many divisions including; command, scientists, engineers, marines, and gunners. It is unclear whether the many cultures that can be found within the fleet are dispersed across the ships or whether different ships originated from different countries on Old Earth. The engineers of the ''Defiant'' are treated as outsiders by the rest of the fleet's crew due to their ability to control the engines. As this group was also the first to be able to explore space, this distrust may also stem from jealousy.{{book ref|sky1|45}}
 
== History ==
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]].{{book ref|sky1|1}} Different populations from the ''Defiant's'' fleet settled in different caverns with the marines colonizing Vici Cavern{{book ref|sky1|8}} and the crew from the Antioch settling in [[Bountiful Cavern]].{{book ref|sky1|7}} The modern populations in these branch caverns have lifestyles that are distinct from that of the population of Igneous - these differences may extend back to the original groups aboard the ''Defiant''.
 
Some technology, such as light-lines{{book ref|sky1|3}} and holographic projectors,((book ref|sky1|9}} survived the crash and were passed down through the generations.{{book ref|sky1|3}} Before the crash, light-lines were used by the engineers while they worked on ship machinery in zero gravity.{{book ref|sky1|14}} Schematics of starships also survived the ships destruction.{{book ref|sky1|6}}
