USS Defiant
"USS Ben Sisko's Motherfucking Pimp Hand was just too long."
- Chuck Sonnenburg

The USS Defiant was the first ship of her class, notable for being retrofitted with a cloaking device for covert missions in the Gamma Quadrant.

The Defiant in Debates

The Defiant often appears in debates involving crossover battles between the Federation and the Galactic Empire or Rebel Alliance. Warsies typically argue that this particular ship would have little impact on the outcome of a war.

Trekkies often claim that the cloaking device on the Defiant would be pivotal in many battle scenarios, but Warsies counter that sensors in the Star Wars galaxy differ from those in Star Trek to such a degree that the cloak would be unlikely to perform effectively. Warsies also point out that a cloaked Defiant would be unlikely to even appear due to treaties with the Romulans keeping the Federation from using cloaks, and the only cloaked Defiant was destroyed, making it unavailable for scenarios that occur outside a narrow timeframe.
