[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] Good observation -- I noticed that too. If a viewer sees only one Defiant, the immediate conclusion is that it's The Defiant because it's still fairly unique. Showing a couple at a time is a simple way of avoiding that. I researched a bit and found that Ron D. Moore stated during the season six/seven hiatus that he thinks there are "at least a few dozen" Defiants at that point, and that they are in production. That's as authoritative as we're going to get on the issue, given that he created the ship's backstory. As for their placement, the Defiants, Intrepids, and Sovereigns, along with perhaps Ambassadors, Constellations, Oberths, Novas and a few other classes were probably tasked with the following: 1) Protecting the borders left vulnerable by the absence of the regular Federation fleet (especially the first three extra-powerful designs). 2) Executing scientific and diplomatic missions in support of the war effort. Do you really want to lose Picard in a battle, or do you want him to keep talking his way out of difficult situations? Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
