    Ever wanted a a tough Federation ship to defend yourself from a trigger-happy Klingon opponent? Maybe one that you could cloak? Oh, the Future Enterpriseimage could do that, but it's so hard to staff. With the WEAPONS, SHIELDS and Cloaking Device of the Future Enterprise, but half the staffing requirements (none of it AU), the U.S.S. Defiant will let you avoid that armada, or stand up to it nicely if caught out in the open.

    Its modified Tractor Beam will help where it really counts (getting rid of Radioactive Garbage Scowimages, for example). And the ship has not one, but two, matching commanders: Benjamin Siskoimage (from the ship's lore) and Worfimage (from his own lore). Take your pick and add appropriate events to boost all the stats for even greater security.
