By this time, the Terran Empire is at war with the 'Rebellion'. It is known that the [[Vulcan]]s, [[Andorian]]s and [[Orion]]s were part of that rebellion. [[Denobulan]]s were not. (STE: In a Mirror Darkly, Part 1 &2)

Commander Johnathan Archer of the ISS Enterprise (an [[NX Class]] ship) mutinied against [[Rank|Captain]] Maximillian Forrest and siezed control of the ship. He then lead the Enterprise into [[Tholian]] space where, Archer's spies have informed him that the Tholians have captured an advanced Starship from an alternate reality and from the future.

That ship was the [[Constitution Class]] starship [[USS Defiant (NCC-1764)|USS Defiant]]. Her crew were killed, and the tholians were dismantling the vessel for it's technology. The defiant had been lured into the mirror universe by the Tholians, who had created an [[Interphasic Rift]] between the two dimensions.

While Enterprise is destroyed, by the Tholians, Archer and a small crew manage to escape Tholian space using the Defiant's advanced weapons. Archer's plans to become Emperor are cut short, however, when he is poisoned by Hosi Sato, who seizes the Defiant for herself and uses it to declare herself Empress. (STE: In a Mirror Darkly, part 2)

Sato takes The [[Andorian]] Imperial Guard Shran as her consort, consolidating her power as Empress. Shran betrays her, so Sato then makes an alliance with the Vulcans, making them full citizens of the Empire. T'Pol is made [[Regent]] of [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]]. (Novel: Age of the Empress).

Sato later creates a clone of Jonathan Archer, to serve by her side. The Archer clone rejects her and instead joins the rebellion against the Empire. (Novels: Age of the Empress, Mirror Universe Shards and Shadows Anthology - Nobunaga)
