USS Defiant (NCC-1764)

The USS Defiant (NCC-1764) was a heavy cruiser in operation during the 23rd century. Believed lost in 2268 as the result of an encounter with Tholians, the Defiant was actually transported into the mirror universe and captured by the Terran Empire. 



Recommission
In 2388 during the war between the Terrans and the Alliance of Independent Governments, many of the old Imperial starships that were not destroyed by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance were brought back into action and the Defiant once again became the Terran flagship, under command of Captain Kathryn Janeway. Ria McCarthy also served aboard the ship. (Star Trek: Pioneer: "A Mirror, Shattered").

Two years later when the Terran Empire was re-established, the ISS Defiant ceased to be the flagship and was replaced by the experimental and more advanced ISS Pioneer. ("Infinite Empires").
