The '''ISS ''Avenger'' (NX-09)''' was an [[NX class|''NX''-class]] [[Starfleet]] [[starship]] for the [[Terran Empire]].  It fought in the war with the Rebellion of the [[Timeline|2150s]], and was one of the several vessels destroyed by the [[USS Defiant (NCC-1764)|USS ''Defiant'']] during [[Jonathan Archer]]'s power struggle for the throne of the Empire.

==History==
===Early Career===
The ''Avenger'' was constructed at Antares Ship Yards in the early-to-mid-[[Timeline|22nd century]].  It would be placed under the command of a [[Terran]] [[Starfleet]] [[Captain]], and like [[ISS Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']], be placed under the jurisdiction of [[Admiral]] [[Black]]. ''Avenger'' was assigned to an [[assault fleet]] by early [[Timeline|2155]] during the conflict with the [[Anti-Terran Rebellion]], and was used by Admiral Black as his flagship of the fleet.

===Conflict===

In [[Timeline|2155]], the ''Avenger'''s assault fleet, was engaged by a fleet of rebel vessels, which included [[Andorian]], [[Tellarite]] and [[Vulcan]] [[Anti-Terran Rebellion starships|starship]]s. The battle did not go well for the Imperial assault fleet. Before long, nearly the entire assault fleet was destroyed, except for ''Avenger''  which suffered heavy damage and mass casualties. Included in its casualties was its Captain, who was killed by a piece of shrapnel. After the Captain was killed, Admiral Black took direct command of the ''Avenger''.

The ''Avenger'' was under heavy fire and unlikely to survive much longer, when the [[USS Defiant (NCC-1764)|USS ''Defiant'']] under the command of [[Commander]] [[Jonathan Archer]] joined the battle. Given it's vast tactical superiority, the ''Defiant'' was able to destroy the rebel fleet, except for a lone [[Andorian]] [[Anti-Terran Rebellion starships|cruiser]], which Archer allowed to escape, arguing that it would spread fear of ''Defiant'' throughout the [[Anti-Terran Rebellion|Rebellion]]. The ''Defiant'' and ''Avenger'' then set course for Earth.

===Defender of the Empire===

As the ''Defiant'' and ''Avenger'' headed towards Earth, Admiral Black visited the ''Defiant''. Whilst there, Archer [[assassination|assassinated]] Black and took command of both vessels. Archer then gathered the officers from th two ships in ''Avenger'''s cargo bay, to state his intentions to remove corruption from Starfleet, by taking over the Empire. During this time, Archer's paranoia grew to the point where he transfered all non-Terrans, except [[Doctor]] [[Phlox]], to ''Avenger''. 

Suspecting a plot against him, Archer had [[T'Pol]] transfered back to ''Defiant''. During this time, [[Soval]] and his compatriots took control of ''Avenger'''s bridge and launched an attack on ''Defiant''. The attack exposed that Archer's concerns of a plot were not unfounded, as the ''Defiant'' had been sabotaged by [[Phlox]]. The sabotage was quickly repaired though, and Archer returned fire on ''Avenger'', which was lost with all hands.

==Crew==

There were at least four different [[Species and cultures|species]] represented among the crew. This would include [[Andorian]], [[Orion]], [[Terran]] and [[Vulcan]].
*[[Admiral]] [[Black]]
*[[Crewman]] [[Soval]]
*[[ISS Avenger personnel]]

==Background==
The [[:en:Latin|Latin]] text on the patch ("Audentes Fortuna Imperii") means "The bold [are] the fortune of the Empire". The intended translation may have been "The Empire [is] Bold [and] Fortunate". But this does not work out by all means. Fortunately it can be translated, grammatically and semantically correct, as "The bold [are] the fortune of the Empire".
