U.S.S. Defiant NX-74205 (Legacy)

After its construction, the Defiant went on a trial run to the Romulan Neutral Zone, where it was tested under the command of Commander Benjamin Sisko. During this test run, the Defiant discovered a derelict D’Deridex-class warbird in Federation space. Upon further investigation, the Defiant encountered a group of warbirds under the command of Valerius of the Tal Shiar, who had laid a trap for a rogue Vulcan criminal named T’Uerell. When Commander Sisko challenged the Romulan officer, Valerius’s attack forced the Defiant to flee into a nebula, where it left an emergency distress beacon. When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D came to assist the Defiant, they discovered that the smaller vessel had fallen into Romulan hands, and the Romulans were beginning to study it at a secret base. A Starfleet task force managed to destroy the base and allow the Defiant to escape.^[1]
