Star Trek: Lore War
Solicitation: The all-new crossover event between Star Trek and Defiant is here! From the Eisner-nominated writers of Star Trek, Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; the critically acclaimed writer of Star Trek: Defiant, Christopher Cantwell; and artist Davide Tinto, Lore War #1 shows us a universe rebuilt in Lore's image. The crews of the Theseus and the Defiant scattered across the universe with no memory of who they once were-some even worship Lore as their God. Lore has won; his rule is absolute. But The Sisko remains, and there are forces who wish to remind him of his power.
The Lore War arc plays out in these issues:

Star Trek: Defiant
Solicitation: "Lore War," Part 2. On one side of the war, Worf, Shaxs, Alexander, and others who once valued honor above all have now been designed by the malevolent android Lore to uphold his dictatorial rule; on the other side, a rebel Maquis fleet, Kahless II, Beverly, Sisko, and all those who know the truth behind their current reality endeavor to tear it down with what little resources they have. But not everything is as hopeless as it seems: There are allies hidden in the unlikeliest of places and assets--like the famous USS Phoenix--that escape even the all-seeing positronic eye of Lore.

Solicitation: "Lore War," Part 3. Friends and foes clash when Worf and his mind-twisted crew on the USS Enterprise come into contact with Sisko, Kahless II, and Beverly aboard the USS Phoenix in Alpha Quadrant space. Nothing in Lore's universe is clear--but when Sisko sees his old friend on the viewscreen, he knows what he must do: wake Worf the hell up!

Star Trek: Lore War - Shaxs' Worst Day
Solicitation: From the team who brought you the Ringo- and Eisner-nominated Shaxs' Best Day comes a rip-roaring ride full of clever ship high jinks, nonstop badassery, and bombastic punches... because at the end of the day, let's face it. It's not Shaxs' worst day. It's fascism's.
Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he's about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machinery of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist.
Now free of Lore's hold over his mind, it's up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos.
