Star Trek’s 6 Defiant Starships Explained
A half dozen notable Star Trek starships have carried the name Defiant. The USS Enterprise is the most recognizable starship in Star Trek, and some Star Trek TV series have been named after their eponymous ships like Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Discovery. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was named for its titular space station but, in season 3, DS9 also gained its own starship, the USS Defiant.
Starships named Defiant originated in Star Trek: The Original Series. However, it is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that turned the name "Defiant" into a legacy comparable to the various starships named USS Enterprise. Most of Starfleet's Defiant starships come from the Defiant Class established on DS9, but one Defiant made an impact fighting for the Terrans in the Mirror Universe. Finally, Star Trek's newest Defiant Class starship has a mission to explore and protect Star Trek's expansive multiverse, itself.
