U.S.S. Defiant (Constitution class)

This article is for the 23rd-century Constitution''-class starship. For the lead ship of the 24th Century Defiant-class, see USS Defiant.''



The U.S.S. Defiant was a Constitution-class cruiser in service to Starfleet in the 23rd Century.

She was lost in an Interphasic rift while investigating Tholian activity at the edge of Federation space. The entire crew was killed while crossing the rift, which deposited the ship in the Mirror universe, some hundred years in the relative past.

Taken and analysed by the Tholians of that universe, the ship was eventually captured by the Terran Empire who used its advanced technology to defeat a rebellion and conquer much of their known galaxy. Over the years, they significantly refitted the ship as a Terran Warship.

Missions involved

 * : Admiral Leeta claims that the Defiant ending up in the 22nd-century Mirror Universe was not an accident, and that there was a message in the ship's databanks from The Envoy intended for her eyes only.
