Reason for development.
And so the defiant class was design.
History:
This vessel was a out sider for the prize, few people even gave them a chance at winning the competition. With the competition split in to five parts.
Part one
The vessels had to fly through the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. They were not allowed to use weapons in this test, they had to navigate and maneuver around the rocks with in specified path. The defiant navigated through the asteroid field with ease. Their shields were at fifty percent and they suffered minor outer hull damage but they perform better than most other vessels and most people exspected.
Stage two test:
This part of the testing stage was to determine whether the ships had the sensors capabilities that the contract demanded they had. They add to locate six different objects within the asteroid fields. These were hidden,either within the asteroids or using different cloaking methods. The second stage to locate destroy moving vessel. All ships fail this part of the test none was able to find the puddle jumper or locate the object which was cloak using a sodan cloak device. Despite this the defiant and ten other vessels proceeded to the next stage of testing.
Stage three.
The remaining eleven vessels were given twenty targets they had to destroyed. The defiant weapon systems enable them to take the targets out in a total of twenty minutes. A further five vessels failed this test, most did not contain the fire power to destroy the targets quick enough.
Stage four:
This stage was to test the ability for the ship to protect it self and a small convoy of vessels They were given a fleet of twelve cargo vessels they needed to protect. The cargo vessels had to to make five deliveries to different locations.
The defiant mission lasted five days. They were attack a total of twelve times by pirates they defended the fleet well, they lost just one vessel.
The rest of the vessel feared quit well most losing one or two vessels. But none completed the test 100% percent.
Eventually it came down to three vessels. All have performed equally well. The defiant, the lightening and the crossbow.
Stage Five
The final test they were had to fight each other in a combat simulation. Who ever last the longest was the winner.
All three vessel fought well they all lasted for over thirty minutes, under constant attack from each other. Their vessels lasted longer than any one else had expected. Eventually with the defiant stronger weapons they were able to defeat the other two vessels. Although by this time th defiant had lost its shields and engines, if it was not Albert coming up with shifting all power to the weapons they would of lost.
All three vessels, went through extensive examinations, by the military they analyze every aspect of the design and their performance through the tests. Eventually they came to conclusion that the the defiant was the superior vessel.
The military made order several of the crafts to be constructed and pushed into service.
The highland facilities able to produce two vessels per four months. New facilities were built these facilities expanded their production capability ten folds. Not only did they attract orders from the military, they receive dozens of orders from cooperations, interested in protecting their off world assets.
Any suggestions for improving the design. Model will becoming tonight possible or on Monday as I will lose daily internet access for the next three weeks
.
But that will give me plenty of time to finish of my models and start more off
Spoiler:
With becoming ever more dominate power in the galaxy and our trade network growing bigger by the day, earth military forces was continually being over stretch with constant attacks by pirates. Earth forces required a vessel capable of being fast, maneuverable . It must also be capable of defending cargo vessels and freighters and be able to provide cover fire and support to larger vessels, but not to rely on them. Also the vessel needs to be able detect cloak vessels.
As many companies and cooperations have built or started construction of such vessels to defend their own cargo vessel freighters and to speed up the huge time it usually take to developed a vessel, it was decided that the competition was to be held in 18 months, all of the vessels ought to be ready and operational, up to a point where they will be able to fly, carry out tests, and participate in test missions, combat engagements. This was also going to be the first construct which other races corporations would be able to enter.
The defiant was design and constructed and almost finish in under eighteen months. The ship was design and built by Highland System, a company set up under father and son team of traders. They originally wanted to build a vessel capable of defending their own vessels but with this ccontract opertunity it was decided that were going to build a vessel from scratch and from the ground up. This was finance by banks and selling of several vessels in their fleet. It was built at their own lading bays in highlands of Scotland

Spoiler:
Name: Defiant Class
Crew: 80
Hull: Naquada trinium hull
Size:
Rough figures
150 meters long
40 meter wide
20 high
Shields: A asgurd bubble shield
Power Source:
1 Mark five Naquada generator
2 Mark one Naquada generator (Backup power)
Engines:
3 ion drives. one gravity drive.
1 human built hyperdrive
Communications:
1 long range subspace communications
1 long range radio transmissions,
Weapons:
These plasma cannons were design to be small and high powered. They were design in combination with hyberians and Gould technology. Which enable the highland corporation to design plasma cannons capable of firing 70 shots per minute. Each of these were low power weapons, but their pure fire rate meant they could overload a shields, as they were place on the vessel so they would concentrate their fire on a single point on a enemy shield.
6 fix forward plasma cannons
2 fix rear plasma cannons
2 plasma turrets
2 forward torpedo's tubes
2 rear torpedo's
12 defense drones
Sensors:
Modified asguard sensors
Multi spectrum sensors. (translation, they can scan on all the spectrum, heat, ultra violet, x rays )
Sub space sensors
These were the most important part of the ship. They must be able to detect cloak vessels, at lease up 10,000 km meters away from the vessel. This was the most difficult part of the vessel design. Asgard and humans sensors were just not up to the task. The only sensors known to be able to penetrate a cloak were ancient sensors on Atlantis. Albert, the son spent years working with the military studying the sensors on Atlantis. He spent the entire eighteen months studying the sensors in a puddle jumpers, he was able to modified and redesign the asgurd sensors to detect cloak vessels at over fifty thousands kilometers, five times the distance required for the test.
