The Defiant Class Light Cruiser is another varient of the Endeavor, in this case its weapons batteries being replaced by flight decks. The Defiant is used as an escort for larger ships, and or as a convoy strike craft carrier. The Defiant is a capible carrier, but too vunerable to opperate without support, as it has no significant defensive capabilities. It is often seen alongside its sister varients, the Endeavor and Endurance.

The Defiant has two flight decks and two short range lances upon its prow. Its lack of firepower often delegates it to opperating as support to larger ships rather than in its intended role as an escort.

Two notable ships of the Defiant class exist, but both were lost while gaining fame. They are the Forebearer and Archangel.
