Defiant (UFP150)
| Class | NX |
| Commissioned | 2155 |
| Status | Destroyed (10 January 2160, Battle of Cheron, Romulan War) |
The United Earth Starship Defiant, an NX class vessel, was commissioned in 2155, just as the Romulan War began. In June 2156, when a Romulan invasion of the Sol system appeared imminent, the NX class vessels, including the Defiant, were not recalled to aid in the system's defense. On 10 January 2160, the Defiant and the Enterprise NX-01, leading a Coalition of Planets task force, set course for Cheron, with a mission to destroy the Romulan shipyards located there. This Battle of Cheron was actually a feint, distracting the bulk of the Romulan fleet away from Romulus, while it was attacked by a second force led by the Lexington after receiving a signal from Admiral Avram Gardner, aboard the Defiant. After the Defiant was destroyed, Enterprise would surely have been destroyed as well, had the Romulan forces not retreated to defend their homeworld.[1][2]
