Star Trek Blueprints: Starfleet Escort Cruiser - Defiant - NX-74208
Illustrator: Eric Kristiansen

Summary:
GENERAL NOTES:
1. These plans are for the familiarization purposes only and should not be confused with detailed working drawings of the Experimental U.S.S. Defiant Escort Cruiser.
2. In an emergency, the primary hull can separate from the warp nacelle. The warp nacelle cannot operate independently.
3. The auxiliary fusion reactors can provide life-support and sublight propulsion in the event of a hull separation. Normally they provide supplementary power.
4. Hydrogen and other interstellar gases are collected and processed for use as fuel in the auxillary power systems and impulse engines.
5. Except when berthed, the craft is crewed at all times. The ship's compliment is divided into three watches of eight hours.
6. All decks have built in gravity, inertial dampening and antiradiation force fields.
7. Environmental suits are fully adjustable and stored in various strategic locations throughout the vessel.
8. The Defiant can accept multiple hull violations. All doors and bulkhead's are airtight and capable of withstanding sudden drastic pressure changes. The containment doors seal off sections of the ship to prevent progressive decompression. They are kept open during normal operations, but will close when all stations have been secured or when the hull has been breached. Doors adjacent to evacuated sections can only be overridden by damage control parties. There are similar containment hatches which can seal off all gangways.
9. I have not included the cross section as I have not been able to get hold of a good copy to work on. The dimensions have been left off as there is large confusion to the size of this craft, the cross section should be able to solve this dilema. The best estimate is that the craft should be around 150m in length.
