Description
USS Charity (BB504) is discovered after twenty years of neglect after the Battle of the North Straight, which it is presumed lost with her captain, Eric D. Cross.

Her Captain is lost, his body is somewhere on board her, but she is still there. Waiting to resume her mission. Sure she needs some tender loving care, she's got a few holes in her hull, some aft flooding, rust and growth, and various other battle scars that need tending, but her flight gear is intact. If they can give her one of USS Strongstown's Nuclear Cores, they can fly her right out of there.

After some serious work, that is.

There are two story lines in my Defiance story. One is of Charity's Captain, his country, and the internal conflict turned civil war that brings the one-fearsome World Power down. The first line follows Cross as he tries to salvage the nation, rescue her people, and his ultimate failure to do those and his own fall from the charismatic hero is to the almost villainous person he becomes.

The second line follows Richard (Ricky) Ross, Eric's unbeknownst son, born of Eric's brain-dead (after an assassination attempt that is eventually successful) wife, Charity. Cross, occupied with the pain of his wife's assassination, the military coup that occurs with is, and the following civil war, is only told his wife has died. He never knows they keep her on life support long enough to bring the child into the world. Shortly after Ricky is born, Cross and the defiance he leads fails, and the world succumbs to darkness.

Timothy Maxis, a Congressman who craves power, had been arranging the chess pieces for the better part of a decade when he launches his opening act with Charity's assassination. Everything goes his way, and even though the Defiance cannot stop him, Cross's final actions eliminate practically all of Maxis's combat fleet and most of his ground elements. Maxis, who cannot accept the imminent defeat for, without his military forces, cannot keep power from the oppressed people of America, makes an ultimate choice. Instead of accept the eventual defeat without his army, he fires off a vast majority of the nuclear arsenal America had.

The chain-reaction that his decision had only stopped when the world ran out intact nations to fire their nuclear weapons at each other.

Richard and the remnants of the Defiance get wind that the mighty flying warship might still be out there, and the hunt is on. Richard is tasked with leading it, he doesn't know who his own father is, and those who do know don't tell him. The second line follows the rag-tag elements of the Defiance as they try to rebuild a nation lost.
