Defiant Class Studio Miniature

Federation starship, Starfleet registry number NX-74205.  Prototype for the proposed Defiant class, the second starship to bear the name.  The Defiant was officially classified as an escort, but began development in 2366 as a small, highly-powered, heavily-armed starship intended to defend the Federation against the Borg.  The Defiant was the first of what was to be a new Federation battle fleet.  Starfleet abandoned the project when the Borg threat became less urgent and after design flaws tuned up during the Defiant's shakedown cruise.

The model was designed by James Martin under the direction of Herman Zimmerman and Gary Hutzel.  It was built by Tony Meininger.
