The standard escort is a small but relatively heavily-armed vessel which combines good speed with sufficient offensive power to deter many threats. The Defiant class, which has served as a testbed for numerous experimental tactical systems, was an instrumental part of the Federation's victory in the Dominion War. Defiant Escort • 170.68 meters
