Empress Hoshi Sato on the bridge of the Defiant

In the mirror universe, Hoshi Sato was the communications officer aboard ISS Enterprise.

Serving mainly as Captain Forrest's woman, Sato had previously been involved with Jonathan Archer but left him for Forrest when he was promoted to a postion of higher power. When Archer briefly took command of the Enterprise in 2155 she gravitated towards him again as he was now the more powerful. While making advances towards Archer, she made an effort to stab him with a dagger, her attempt was thwarted. Later, after she and Archer had made love, she casually proposed that T'Pol, not Tucker, might have had a hand in a sabotage aboard the ship, making Archer realize that he should have suspected T'Pol as well. However, T'Pol had already led an insurgency to restore Forrest to command.

Sato was aboard the Enterprise when it was trapped in a Tholian web (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly"), though she was able to evacuate on an escape pod before the ship was destroyed and was picked up by the commandeered USS Defiant.

Hoshi Sato assisted Jonathan Archer in using the Defiant to gain power. However, before the Defiant could make it to Earth, she seduced Archer's personal guard Travis Mayweather into conspiring to kill Archer by poisoning. Hoshi subsequently took command of the Defiant, proclaimed herself "Empress Sato" and ordered Fleet Admiral Gardner to surrender and stand by for instructions, or she would open fire on Earth.

Considering the discrepancy in technology between the Defiant and Earth, one is left to assume that she won -- but that's far from clear. She may have suffered the same treachery she had just inflicted on Archer, or the Defiant may have failed to function as expected. Given that the 23rd century Empire exhibited no signs of a hundred-year technological leapfrog, and that the mirror universe seemed unaware of the existence of the Federation's universe until the Kirk incursion (DS9: "Crossover"), there's cause for doubt as to whether Sato actually succeeded. However she and Archer had discussed wiping the Defiant's memory banks of Federation universe history, and Empress Sato may have presided over a chilling effect on technology.
