The Defiant Tactical Escort is a Captain (Tier 4) level Federation Escort vessel. This particular type of ship class was a rescued project from the Utopia Planetia Ship Yards by Captain Benjamin Sisko. It was declared a new type of warship created to fight the Borg but later revived to fight the Dominion War.
Variants
Defiant class
The mighty Defiant class was the first of new Tactical Escort designs specifically created to fight the Borg. The project which was stationed at Utopia Planitia and prototyped by a team that included young Benjamin Sisko ultimately failed due latent design flaws. At the request of the DS9 Commander, the ship and its plans was removed from storage and its flaws corrected. The class design later entered production due to the Dominion threat.
Vigilant class
Vigilant was a design inspired by the Defiant class. Just as powerful and nimble but with an updated nacelle design. The Vigilant was also equipped with a multipurpose space that is adaptable to any situation including relaxation or training.
Gallant class
Launched in response to the fallout from the Khitomer Accords in 2399, the Gallant class was born. These ships were made to fight on the front lines of Borg conflict. Gallant is a variant of Defiant, just as capable and bares just as many teeth.
Sao Paulo class
The Sao Paulo class is a 25th century refit of the famed Defiant class. It has exposed, forward-swept warp nacelles and a more faceted main deflector. It also has the white hull texture common to refit vessels. This class is unlocked with the purchase of the Tactical Escort Refit from the C-Store for 1,500 .
Performance
The Tactical Escort (along with its refit and Retrofit brethren) are the most agile of all Starfleet vessels outside runabouts and shuttles. Equipped with four forward weapon slots and two aft, they are true powerhouses of damage. However the class suffers from very small crew complement (half as many as the previous tier) and limited console slots to improve survivability.
Standard Configuration
Federation starships come with standard equipment and weapons of the lowest mark available at the ship's minimum rank. The items provided are appropriate to the type of vessel and its related playing style.
