Defiant gets destroyed by the Breen at the Chin'taka system.

Gets hit by Breen energy dissapator, then gets rocked by torpedoes.

Ablative armour gives crew time to get to escape pod.

Then it get blown to pieces

It was a pretty good ship

Hmm. Couldn't you have just added something to one of the several other threads about this subject, here, or in the Deep Space Nine Forum, and maybe in General Discussion too?

Hm... Looks like we're never gonna see the ship separate, eh?

And what's that at the top of the second pic (mostly hidden in the third)? Is that a Galaxy w/o its saucer upside-down, or a Nebula w/o its saucer rightside-up?

It looked like the remains of a Nebula to me just above the exploding Defiant. Time to revise my list of destroyed ships. I certainly got the impression that few if any of the Fed/Rom/Klingon ships survived the battle.

It's a Nebula with it's saucer ripped off. In the upper right is a disabled Saber. I believe to the right is an Excelsior, and then there looks like pieces of a nacelle flying around. I must say, some very nice shots of Nebulas and Sabers in this ep. Saw some K't'ingas too

------------------
"The one, the only, THE 359!"

Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :

Yes. I just downloaded the clips, and it's not a bad little battle. . . as Matt says, that's definitely a Nebula upper right of the Defiant as it explodes, less its saucer. To the right might be an Excelsior, although I initially thought it was a Sabre. The other wreckage is unclear.

But what I did like was the first shots of the fleet. It was good to see Nebulas in there as the big hitters (for all the good they did) and I especially LOVED those Steamrunners. When one zips past at the beginnign, you get an impression of quite how sleek they are that you don't get from pictures. The Akiras didn't even get a look in.

And of course, the end of the Defiant: curiously plaintive Abandon Ship siren, almost like whalesong. When you consider how casula and confident - even cocky - Sisko was at the start of the fight, it seems he was really asking for it. . .

So then: in the fleet I'd say there were: 2 Nebulas, at least 2 Excelsiors, 2 Steamrunners, 3 Akiras, 1 Sabre, 2 Mirandas. . . and 1 Defiant. *sob*

And lastly, does Star Trek have something about women drivers? Consider: E-D, Troi at helm, crash. Voyager, Janeway at helm, runs into Krenim timeship. Defiant, Dax at helm, crashes ("Children of Time," alternate universe stuff); then 'for real' with Kira at the helm, gets blasted by the Breen's Dr. Freeze ray. Hmm?

Posted by Voyager on :

Acually I think also saw 1 Galaxy Class ship, but I could be wrong. I think it was more along the line of 3/4 Excelsiors. I saw a least 4 Birds of Prey, and at least 4 Romulan Warbirds. I noticed the Defiant's Abandon Ship alarm sounded kinda wierd.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

I also thought it was kind of strange that Sisko stood there staring around the bridge for so long w/o the ship blowing up. I hate when they do that...

Posted by The First One (Member # 35) on :

Well, what I said before - he was so casual as they went into battle. None of the intensity I've noticed in the past. He honestly expected to just breeze through it again like he did last time, adn that his ship would take it like it always did. Probably quite a shock. . .

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

Though it should be noted that Janeway meant to crash into the Krenim timeship.

I beleive that the figures for Fed ships at the battle are much higher.

They said they lost 300 plus ships at the battle.
There are three seperate powers and it would roughly translate to 100 ships apiece except for the Romulans who seem to always have fewr ships than the other powers in a fight. Maybe it's just sfx lack of showing them.

Or are u must be talking about the task force that Sisko lead in relief?.

I did'nt do it.
