The Defiant lands inside an asteroid threatening to collide with Earth. By issue #148, its last appearance, it had become damaged, unable to fly. The Oktober Guard, which has also traveled to the asteroid, works with the Joes; Payload and the Russian officer Dragonsky cannibalize the Defiant in order to effect an escape. The Russian shuttle escapes with everyone on board, the asteroid is destroyed, and the remains of the Defiant are obliterated.
