The '''Defiant Class''' starship, officially classified as an "escort-type" ship, began development in [[2366]], as a small, highly-powered, heavily-armed warship, intended to defend the [[Federation]] against the [[Borg]]. The [[USS Defiant, NX-74205|USS Defiant]] was the first ship for a new Federation battle fleet being prepared to counter the Borg. [[Star Fleet]] abandoned the project, however, when the Borg threat became less urgent, and design flaws nearly destroyed the ''USS Defiant'' during its initial shakedown cruise. <br/>
