Defiance VII, more commonly known simply as Defiance, is the seventh planet in the system and has three moons named Iowa, Missouri, and Resistance.[1][34]

Planetary History[edit]

Defiance was originally settled as a mining colony. The world was strategically located in the thirty-first century, and forces on-world could redeploy quickly to events in the Capellan March or Draconis March. With this in mind, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns invested heavily in the world, developing the system for its own use. In late 3059, Defiance was host to the combined elements of Task Force Serpent who arrived to train together prior to their departure for Huntress.[1][34] In 3079 Defiance also hosted a Combat Training Center.[1]
