The ''Defiant'' was designed by Jim Martin, Gary Hutzel and Tony Meinger.
In the [[Star Trek]] [[fictional universe]], the '''USS ''Defiant'' (NX-74205)''', and later '''(NCC-75633)''', is the lead ship of an experimental class of [[starship]]. It was featured in the [[television series]] ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9)]]'' and appeared in the [[feature film]] ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]''. The ship first appeared in the [[List_of_Star_Trek:_DS9_episodes|''DS9'' episode]] [[The Search (DS9 episode)|"The Search, Part I"]], after which it continued to play a significant role throughout the series.


==Design and development==
This ship was reportedly named after the [[Constitution class starship|''Constitution'' class starship]] [[USS Defiant (NCC-1764)|USS ''Defiant'' (NCC-1764)]] from [[Star Trek: The Original Series|''The Original Series'']].
For the first two seasons of ''Deep Space Nine'', stories requiring characters to travel off-station typically involved small [[Runabout (Star Trek)|runabout]] vessels. Producer [[Ira Steven Behr]] and writer [[Robert Hewitt Wolfe]] believed runabouts would be insufficient to confront the adversarial [[Dominion (Star Trek)|Dominion]] introduced in the second season, and they convinced executive producer [[Rick Berman]] of the need for a new ship. Additionally, the ''Defiant'' was intended to solve the problem of cramped runabout sets.


The ''Defiant'' was initially designed by art illustrator Jim Martin, with contributions from visual effects supervisor [[Gary Hutzel]] and modelmaker Tony Meininger. Original designs called for a "beefed-up" runabout-type ship, but this gave way to a full-fledged starship design initially called ''Valiant''. This name was dropped out of fear that it would conflict with ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''<nowiki/>'s titular starship, also beginning with a "V".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/10/star-trek-deep-space-nine-rewatch-the-search-part-i|title=Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Rewatch: "The Search, Part I"|access-date=October 18, 2013|date=October 18, 2013|first=Keith|last=DeCandido|author-link=Keith DeCandido|publisher=[[Macmillan Publishers]]|work=[[Tor Books]]}}</ref>
{{spoiler}}


An early screenplay for ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'' (1996) called for the ''Defiant'' to be destroyed, but Behr objected and the idea was dropped.<ref name="braga">Braga & Moore.{{full citation needed|date=July 2019}}</ref>
Officially designated an escort, the ''Defiant'' was a [[prototype]] vessel for the [[Defiant class starship|''Defiant'' class]] of [[warship]]s, originally developed to counter the [[Borg]]. Following the Borg invasion of [[2366]]&ndash;[[2367]] the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] approved a project committed to enhancing the strength of [[Starfleet|Starfleet's]] offensive and defensive military capabilities; the ''Defiant'' was to be the pathfinder for a new Federation battle fleet. After the [[Battle of Wolf 359]], [[Benjamin Sisko]] was assigned to [[Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards]] to oversee the project.


Following the ''Defiant''<nowiki/>'s destruction in "The Changing Face of Evil", the writers had wanted a new type of successor ship but the budget wasn't available. As a result, they replaced the ''Defiant'' with the same spacecraft design for the USS ''São Paulo'' in "The Dogs of War".<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Jones |first1=Mark |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2La2rMJJKzQC |title=Beyond the Final Frontier: An Unauthorised Review of the Trek Universe on Television and Film; Season Summaries, Characters, Episodes, Movies |last2=Parkin |first2=Lance |date=2003 |publisher=[[Contender Books]] |location=London |isbn=978-1-84357-080-6 |pages=269}}</ref> [[Ronald D. Moore|Ron Moore]] said in the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion]]'' that the new ship was intended to be designated "''Defiant''-A", but it would have been too costly to redo the CG model for one episode because stock shots from earlier episodes had to be used as well for budgetary reasons.
Designed to be fast, highly maneuverable, and have extremely powerful weaponry, the ship's [[warp drive|warp engines]] were almost too powerful and needed extensive modifications to keep them from tearing the ship apart. The ship was designed specifically for battle, featuring innovative pulse [[phaser (fictional weapon)|phaser]] and [[Weapons_of_Star_Trek#Quantum_Torpedoes|quantum torpedo]] [[Weapons of Star Trek|armaments]], in addition to [[Weapons_of_Star_Trek#Photon_Torpedoes|photon torpedoes]] and a high-capacity [[Shields (Star Trek)|deflector shield system]]. The ''Defiant'' was relatively spartan by Starfleet standards of the time: the ship was not designed to carry family members, had no science labs, and had a limited [[sick bay|infirmary]].


==Depiction==
Additionally, the ''Defiant'' was the first Starfleet ship to legally carry a [[cloaking device]]. Supplied by the [[Romulan]] government, it was initially operated by a Romulan officer serving aboard the ''Defiant''. Primarily, the cloak was only to be used to gather intelligence in the [[Galactic quadrants (Star Trek)#Gamma_quadrant|Gamma Quadrant]], but the cloaking device also ended up being used (illegally) in the [[Galactic quadrants (Star Trek)|Alpha Quadrant]].
[[Benjamin Sisko]] helped design the ''Defiant'', which was conceived as a prototype vessel to counter the [[Borg (Star Trek)|Borg]]. Sisko receives command of the ''Defiant'' in 2370 to make contact with the Dominion in the show's third-season premiere. Unlike most [[Starfleet]] ships, the ''Defiant'' is built for combat rather than science and exploration. The ''Defiant'' remains attached to ''Deep Space Nine'' under Sisko's command for the remainder of the series, carrying the crew on missions beyond the space station. It appears briefly in ''Star Trek: First Contact'' under the command of [[Worf]] where it's left badly damaged and the crew has to evacuate to the ''Enterprise''-E after life support fails. The [[Breen (Star Trek)|Breen]] destroy the ''Defiant'' during the show's finale arc. Starfleet gives Sisko command of a new ship of the same class, the USS ''Sao Paulo'', of which he is given special dispensation to change the name and registry to be the same as the previous ''Defiant''. The ''Defiant'' is seen briefly in the ''[[Star Trek: Picard]]'' third season episode "The Bounty", out-of-commission and docked at Starfleet's Fleet Museum.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Baugher |first=Lacy |date=2023-03-23 |title=Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Episode 6 Review - The Bounty |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/star-trek-picard-season-3-episode-6-review/ |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=Den of Geek |language=en-US}}</ref> It's also amongst the ships that fall under the control of the living construct in ''[[Star Trek: Prodigy]]'s'' two-part [[Star Trek: Prodigy season 1|season one]] finale "Supernova."


The ''Defiant'' also appears in numerous spin-off books, comics, and video games.
With a subsiding Borg threat and after failed systems tests, the project was scrapped and the prototype mothballed in [[2368]]. However, [[first contact (anthropology)|first contact]] with the [[Jem'Hadar]] (the [[shock troops]] of the [[Dominion (Star Trek)|Dominion]]) in [[2370]] prompted the ship's relaunch in [[2371]], under the command of Commander Sisko and attached to station [[Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine (DS9)]]. The ''Defiant'' allowed the crew of DS9 to travel faster and farther and with far more [[firepower]] than previously possible using the [[Danube_class_starship|''Danube''-class runabouts]] originally supplied to the station.


==Reception==
[[Image:Defiant-2.jpg|left|thumb|The USS Defiant firing its phasers]]In [[2373]], the ''Defiant'' played a crucial role in the [[Battle of Sector 001]], but was facing destruction by the Borg before the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|USS ''Enterprise''-E]] under the command of [[Jean-Luc Picard|Captain Jean-Luc Picard]] arrived and led the remaining Starfleet vessels to destroy the [[Borg starship|Borg cube]]. During the battle, the ''Defiant'' was under the command of [[Worf|Commander Worf]] and suffered severe damage, but was salvaged.

In early [[2375]], the ''Defiant'' was destroyed by the [[Breen]] during the invasion of the [[Chin'toka]] system. During the planning of the invasion of [[Cardassian|Cardassia]] some months later, a new ''Defiant'' class starship, the USS ''São Paulo'' (NCC-75633) was stationed at DS9. The ''São Paulo'' was renamed ''Defiant'' prior to the [[Battle of Cardassia]].

==Design notes==


==References==
The ''Defiant'' was designed by ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|DS9]]'' art illustrator Jim Martin. The ''Defiant''’s addition to ''DS9'' was intended to open up storytelling by making the show more mobile. Original designs called for a beefed-up '[[runabout]]'-type ship, but this soon gave way to a full-fledged starship design initially called ''Valiant''. This name would later be ascribed to another ''Defiant''-class ship (in the ''DS9'' episode, "[[Valiant (DS9 episode)|Valiant]]"). As well, this starship design (modified) would much later appear in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' as the [[Nova class starship|''Nova''-class]] [[USS Equinox|USS ''Equinox'']] (''[[VOY]]'': "[[Equinox (Voyager episode)|Equinox]]").

==Further reading==
There is some dispute as to what the follow-on ''Defiant''’s registry number should actually be. Due to time constraints, the physical ship model that was filmed throughout the series was used for both the ''Defiant'' and ''Defiant''-[[née]]-''São Paulo'': both new and stock footage (with registry number 'NX-74205' in external shots) was used for the newer ship. There has also been controversy over the internet regarding the 'true' size of the ''Defiant'', since various Star Trek sources (from [[Star Trek canon|canon]], semi-canon works such as reference manuals, and [[fanon]] speculation) have provided apparently conflicting specifications.

The USS Defiant is the name of two starships in the Star Trek media franchise, most notably featured in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) and the film Star Trek: First Contact (1996). Introduced in Deep Space Nine's third season, it is a warship attached to the show's eponymous space station. The original Defiant is destroyed during the Dominion War in the seventh season and replaced with a largely identical ship.

The Defiant was designed by Jim Martin, Gary Hutzel and Tony Meinger.

Design and development

[edit]

For the first two seasons of Deep Space Nine, stories requiring characters to travel off-station typically involved small runabout vessels. Producer Ira Steven Behr and writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe believed runabouts would be insufficient to confront the adversarial Dominion introduced in the second season, and they convinced executive producer Rick Berman of the need for a new ship. Additionally, the Defiant was intended to solve the problem of cramped runabout sets.

The Defiant was initially designed by art illustrator Jim Martin, with contributions from visual effects supervisor Gary Hutzel and modelmaker Tony Meininger. Original designs called for a "beefed-up" runabout-type ship, but this gave way to a full-fledged starship design initially called Valiant. This name was dropped out of fear that it would conflict with Star Trek: Voyager's titular starship, also beginning with a "V".[1]

An early screenplay for Star Trek: First Contact (1996) called for the Defiant to be destroyed, but Behr objected and the idea was dropped.[2]

Following the Defiant's destruction in "The Changing Face of Evil", the writers had wanted a new type of successor ship but the budget wasn't available. As a result, they replaced the Defiant with the same spacecraft design for the USS São Paulo in "The Dogs of War".[3] Ron Moore said in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion that the new ship was intended to be designated "Defiant-A", but it would have been too costly to redo the CG model for one episode because stock shots from earlier episodes had to be used as well for budgetary reasons.

Depiction

[edit]

Benjamin Sisko helped design the Defiant, which was conceived as a prototype vessel to counter the Borg. Sisko receives command of the Defiant in 2370 to make contact with the Dominion in the show's third-season premiere. Unlike most Starfleet ships, the Defiant is built for combat rather than science and exploration. The Defiant remains attached to Deep Space Nine under Sisko's command for the remainder of the series, carrying the crew on missions beyond the space station. It appears briefly in Star Trek: First Contact under the command of Worf where it's left badly damaged and the crew has to evacuate to the Enterprise-E after life support fails. The Breen destroy the Defiant during the show's finale arc. Starfleet gives Sisko command of a new ship of the same class, the USS Sao Paulo, of which he is given special dispensation to change the name and registry to be the same as the previous Defiant. The Defiant is seen briefly in the Star Trek: Picard third season episode "The Bounty", out-of-commission and docked at Starfleet's Fleet Museum.[4] It's also amongst the ships that fall under the control of the living construct in Star Trek: Prodigy's two-part season one finale "Supernova."

The Defiant also appears in numerous spin-off books, comics, and video games.

Reception

[edit]

The USS Defiant is noted as a powerful spacecraft vessel of the Star Trek science fiction universe in the late 24th century.[5] CBR compared the maneuverable and powerful Defiant to the Millennium Falcon.[5] Space.com also noted the Defiant as one of the more agile science fiction spacecraft, compared to some of the slower, almost-nautical movement of larger spacecraft of Star Trek.[6]

The moment when Sisko decloaks the Defiant spacecraft for the first time in "The Search" was rated by Geek.com in 2015 as one of the top 35 moments in Star Trek; they said it marked a "great start" to the third season of Deep Space Nine.[7] The addition of the Defiant helped the show dig deeper into stories set in the Gamma Quadrant, as well as the long war-saga arc of the show's later seasons.[8]

A miniature model of the USS Defiant sold for 106,000 USD in 2006 at auction.[9]
