‘Star Trek: Defiant’ #26 Preview: A War for the Future

Star Trek: Defiant #26 takes fans into a thrilling battle between two sides of a devastating war. On one side, Worf, Shaxs, Alexander, and others who once valued honor above all else are now forced to follow the will of the evil android, Lore. Lore has designed them to uphold his cruel and dictatorial rule.

On the other side, a brave rebel Maquis fleet, led by Kahless II, Beverly, and Sisko, fight to break free from Lore’s control. They know the truth about their current situation, and they’ll do anything to tear it down — even with limited resources.

But all hope is not lost. Hidden allies and unexpected assets, like the famous U.S.S. Phoenix, remain undetected by Lore’s all-seeing positronic eye, offering a glimmer of hope for the rebels.

The issue is written by Christopher Cantwell, with art and cover design by Davide Tinto and Malachi Ward.

On one side of the war, Worf, Shaxs, Alexander, and others who once valued honor above all have now been designed by the malevolent android Lore to uphold his dictatorial rule; on the other side, a rebel Maquis fleet, Kahless II, Beverly, Sisko, and all those who know the truth behind their current reality endeavor to tear it down with what little resources they have. But not everything is as hopeless as it seems: There are allies hidden in the unlikeliest of places and assets — like the famous U.S.S. Phoenix — that escape even the all-seeing positronic eye of Lore.

Star Trek: Defiant #26 arrives on April 16, 2025. Don’t miss out on this exciting chapter in the Star Trek saga!
