DESIGN HISTORY:

Project Defiant was first proposed by Starfleet Command to the Federation Council in 2367 as an escort / pocket destroyer vessel. It was the first pure warship designed for Starfleet in over a century-possessing minimal science and crew comfort facilities. The proposed specifications and capabilities were intended for the warship for extended deep space patrols or missions - rather it would be deployed from forward bases or act as an escort for large fleet operations.

The first spaceframe components of the class' lead ship were gamma-welded at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards in 2366. On 09 November 2369, U.S.S. Defiant (NX-74205) was launched. She immediately began shakedown trials in the home sectors, being formally commissioned on 30 July 2370.
