Star Trek: Defiant #2

Product Information

It's not the mission you're thinking about, is it? Or even the colonists in the zone. This is about you, isn't it? You and that other Will Riker out there. The man with your face, your name, your career. You are looking for a way to set yourself apart. Some way to be different." I'm convinced that it does. They are building an invasion fleet. If we let them finish it, these renegade Cardassians are going to use it." True to his word, Riker transmits the sensor logs to the Kraxon and then beams over. Kira promises him that his crew will get a fair trial and they will come for him one day. Riker then moves to kiss her then taps his combadge and transports to the Kraxon leaving Kira in command of the Defiant. In the opening titles sequence for DS9 Seasons 4 to 7, the Defiant was depicted using CGI, which allowed the visual effects artists to concentrate on filming the model without having to worry about accidentally showing the model mount, as they would have to have done if they had been using a practical studio model for the sequence. " VisionArt did a wonderful job of matching the lighting where the ship comes out of the shadows behind one of the pylons," Dan Curry enthused. " And using CGI allowed me to do a couple of moves with the Defiant that we couldn't have done with a model." ( Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 335))

In early 2375, the Defiant made a supply run to AR-558, a planetoid in the Chin'toka system under heavy siege by the Jem'Hadar. The Defiant crew provided a small reinforcement of the planetoid and helped disable many houdinis that had been plaguing Federation troops stationed there. ( DS9: " The Siege of AR-558") Speaking from the perspective of Jadzia Dax, Terry Farrell once said, laughing, " I love the Defiant because I fly it."

Major Kira used the Defiant to stop the Klingon Empire from mining the Bajoran sector, later that year. ( DS9: " Sons of Mogh") The Maquis have been hearing rumors about shifting loyalties in the Cardassian government. Certain hardline elements were unsatisfied with the Federation treaty and are doing whatever they can to scrap it. We had our hands on an intelligence report outlining a suspected military buildup in the Orias system. A secret buildup that even the Central Command isn't aware of."

The center of the bridge featured the lone captain's chair, which was on a raised platform and had a clear view of all bridge stations, as well as of the main viewscreen. On both sides of the captain's chair were separate control panels, allowing the occupant access to virtually every system aboard the ship. I wonder, why is it that Star Trek cannot be its own POSITIVE thing and always has to emulate things which are in direct contradiction to its ethos? Why cannot Star Trek “win” in this contest and make OTHER shows try to emulate it? A little more than a decade ago everyone and their cat wanted Star Trek to become “battleSTAR TREKactica” just because Ronald D. Moore’s remake show was on TV. Today we are still dealing with the fallout of the last decade during which execs required everything, even toilet paper commercials, to emulate the “Game of Thrones,” even if there was no logical incentive to do so. The engineering station allowed for a direct link to the impulse and warp engines, as well as monitoring of the other various systems vital to the operation of the ship. This single station was capable of mirroring all the readouts and consoles located in main engineering, allowing the chief engineer or another engineering officer to issue commands from the bridge. Maybe that's what an experienced Starfleet officer would do. Maybe that's what Captain Picard would do. Maybe that's what Commander Will Riker would do. But it's not what I'm going to do. I'm going to continue the mission."However, information about the Defiant and its origin in another universe was stolen by rebels fighting the Terran Empire in the early 23rd century. The data was then stored in a computer core aboard a Klingon vessel which was later destroyed in battle and recovered by the crew of the USS Discovery after they crossed over.
