USS Defiant (NX-74205) (II)

The second USS Defiant (NX-74205) was a Defiant-class starship originaly named the USS São Paulo (NCC-75633). The ship was renamed and renumbered in honor of the fallen USS Defiant by special dispensation from Starfleet Command.

The Defiant was assigned to Starbase Deep Space 9, and in 2375, was modified to embark upon a historic three-month mission to explore the Gamma Quadrant.
