USS Defiant (NX-74205)

The USS Defiant (NX-74205) was the prototype of the heavy escort that saw service during the 24th century.
The Defiant was designed to combat the Borg, but issues during its test flights saw the prototype shelved. It was commissioned several years later and assigned to Deep Space 9 in response to the Dominion threat.
The Defiant was destroyed in 2375 during the late stages of the Dominion War.
==Alternate Defiants==
In an alternate universe, the Defiant was destroyed by the Dominion within the Bajoran wormhole killing all aboard during Operation Return.
