Under the command of long-serving Starfleet veteran Captain Marien Zimbata, Constellation-class USS Victory battles a group of Jem'Hadar attack ships preying on Federation supply lines. Normally kept well behind the lines to support Starfleet's struggling logistics chains, the Victory races to the aid of a convoy carrying medical supplies to the front lines and engages the Jem'Hadar head-on. After a vicious but determined battle and suffering heavy crew casualties, the Victory lives up to her name, destroying four Dominion warships and seeing the convoy safely on its way. The scale model of the ship's namesake - the ancient sailing ship HMS Victory, a gift from one of Captain Zimbata's more notable former officers - is toppled from its display pedestal in the ship's crew lounge. Over the next few weeks, it is painstakingly repaired by several members of the crew while the Victory herself is repaired in drydock.
