DEEP SPACE: "THE SEARCH" - REV. 07/11/94 - ACT ONE 9.
7 CONTINUED:
KIRA
I thought Starfleet didn't believe
in warships.
SISKO
Desperate times breed desperate
measures. Five years ago, Starfleet
began exploring the possibility of
building a new class of starship.
This ship would have no families, no
science labs, no luxuries of any
kind... it was designed for one
purpose only -- to fight and defeat
the Borg.
(beat)
The Defiant was the prototype... the
first ship in what would've been a
new Federation battle fleet.
DAX
So what happened?
SISKO
The Borg threat became less urgent.
Also, some design flaws cropped up
during the ship's shakedown cruise,
so Starfleet decided to abandon the
project.
O'BRIEN
What sort of... design flaws?
SISKO
You'll have complete access to the
ship evaluation reports, but to put
it simply... it's overgunned and
overpowered for a ship its size.
During battle drills, it nearly tore
itself apart when the engines were
tested at full capacity.
KIRA
(incredulous)
And this is the ship Starfleet
sent us to fight off an attack by
the Dominion?
