Star Trek: Canon Universe Starship Cutaway #2.

The Defiant Class Escort from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and seen in Star Trek: First Contact. Illustrated here of course is the USS Defiant NX-74205.

Not all my own work, yet another scanned in from my battered "Star Trek Fact Files" which were trashed after a water leak at my home!
The worst of this one was getting rid of the page creases, which were VERY prominent on the original scans, this all meant a little cut-n-pasting, and a LOT of patience! Hope you all like the results.

UPDATE:
Revised background, use Download to view full size.

Hm? the fore torpedo launcher is a probe launcher, the *two* fore launchers are in the "corner" sections (one of which is partially shown ahead of the sickbay)

Thanks for the info - I took the original location labels from the Fact Files which to be honest has numerous innaccuracies :-(

I'm beginning to think that alot of the ships were more thought threw after the show went off production than they were before it started production

Yep, got it in one. Its happened throughout, Star Trek's history, look at the Original Series, you saw the ships and equipment and what you saw on screen, was what they could do, THEN the official blueprints came out - THRE you found out the saucer Primary Hull could seperate from the rest of the ship in emergency - this was never even hinted on, during the series' run!

At least with the next generation they were upfront about being able to seperate the saucer section.

True, although in this case the Galaxy Class Saucer could operate as an independant vessel, dock and undock at will - the Constitution saucer needed a repair yard to rejoin :-(

And what are the chances of after seperating there being a convinient repair yard nearby.

Precisely, the worst thing about that was - in both cases neither had Warp capability! Which means one hell of a long trip to the nearest base :-(

Hopefully with both saucers, you had some sort of FTL communication devices. Otherwise you could pull a Columbia trick (Re: Destiny Trilogy).
