After the first major encounter between the Dominion and the Federation at the end of 2370 Starfleet responded to the new threat by reactivating the Defiant project and continuing development of the Sovereign project. However, it was felt that further action was needed; the Sovereign class ships were relatively resource intensive, and while the Defiants were easy to build they were also rather limited on range and endurance. After much testing and design, various elements of both ships were combined. Ablative armor, quantum torpedo launchers, advanced hull geometry, the warp field technology of the Sovereign and Intrepid classes, and finally the separation concept of the hull were all incorporated. | After the first major encounter between the Dominion and the Federation at the end of 2370 Starfleet responded to the new threat by reactivating the Defiant project and continuing development of the Sovereign project.
