Happy Birthday, Ya Tough Little Ship!!

Happy Birthday, Ya Tough Little Ship!!
On  this date in 1994, we were first introduced to the USS Defiant, aka 'Benjamin Sisko's Muthafuckin' Pimp Hand'. Happy 25TH!

Long may she wave.

*gasp*  Deep Space 9, one of the Star Trek series.  The Defiant was the Federation's first dedicated warship.

Fell in love with this ship the first time I saw her cut through several Dominion warships.

Always wondered why the Federation only seemed to have produced a few.

Seeing she gets christened in 2370 (by our calander) - her first birthday will be in 352 years....

I guess we have time to order the cake and pony ride.....

I personally think the design of the Defiant is a rather nondescript lump that lacks character or panache, and devoid of visual cue that speaks of spaciness or slick technology based on contemporary styling sensibility.   It is one of the worse primary spacecraft prop designs in the history of the star trek franchise.


In my opinion, from the perspective of prop design, the enterprise from the motion picture remains by far the best in the history of the franchise.

There was a temporal anomaly at the Utopia Planitia shipyards.  Shut up.

It wasn't designed to have character or panache, nor was it meant to be slick or stylish.  It was mean to be a warship.  It's rather unfair to expect such a ship to have the same general mock up as a vessel intended for long distance exploration.

Form follows function, mate.
