USS Defiant (alternate reality NCC-1764)

The USS Defiant (NX-74205) was a Federation Defiant class starship in service to Starfleet in the mid-23rd century. In 2258 of an alternate reality brought about by Nero's interference, the original Defiant was part of a fleet destroyed by the Narada during a mission to investigate a lightning storm in space in the proximity of Vulcan.

Starfleet then commissioned a prototype small sized escort (or battleship) which was to be Commanded by Typhuss James Halliwell.
