Ship Information

The USS Defiant, a Constitution-Class Heavy Command Cruiser, has been purpose built to explore the stars. Filled with many of the technological advantages of the USS Vengeance, the Defiant puts science and exploration first, boasting impressive databases, laboratories, and sensor facilities. The Constitution class’s versatility helps it fit most classes of mission and the Defiant has been outfitted for a lengthy trip away from the rest of the Federation. Its a good thing too. The Defiant’s mission is set to take her far outside of the support network and she’s going to face some significant threats.

The USS Defiant is assigned to explore the mysterious Volan Expanse, a largely untouched region which rests beyond the Federation-Klingon border region. The only significant Federation support is the new Starbase Arcadia. Similar in design to Starbase Yorktown, but smaller and nowhere near complete, the Starbase’s efforts will mostly be focused on construction, and will be able to lend little aid to the Defiant other than resupplying and shore leave.

A border dispute has quickly spiraled out of controlling, leading to both sides of the border becoming militarized. Starfleet has had to pull its resources together to fortify the region.

Having survived their harrowing confrontation with the Volan Expanse entity, the newly refitted USS Defiant must balance their primary mission of exploration with the needs of the Federation.
