Star trek ds9 last battle of the defiant

[leshpar]

Seriously this scene is one of the most emotional things to ever happen in star trek. Not once have things gone from good to bad so quickly and so extremely as it did during this episode. When Sisko calls for the ship to be abandoned its the most heart wrenching thing I've ever heard.

[pinoi78]

Captain Sisko obviously dislikes this.

[isaned]

I remember this episode like it was yesterday. The Defiant got split wide open by those last 2 torpedoes, and the metal practically SCREAMS when it does. Still sends chills down my spine every time. The music practically breaks your heart too. Everyone touts the Defiant as being the most bad-ass ship ever, but it lost more than a few times in battle.

"Poor Capt Sisko...I believe he was quite fond of that shit." (I know he says ship, but I the first time I heard it, I LOLed.)

[katanaburner]

Didn't they make another Defiant after the first one was destroyed?

[sagequan]

@katanaburner Yes they can, infact starfleet placed the Defiant class into mass production thanks to the diligent work and testing by Benjamin Sisko. Unfortunately they did not have room for much improvement given that its current technology was already far ahead of its time. But they do not have cloaking devices as the Defiants cloaking device was given to Sisko by the Romulans themselves thus superceiding the treaty of algeron. The only known case in Federation history.

[katanaburner]

@sagequan I learn something everyday. And I gotta say that my Star Trek know how just got thrown out the window here. How many Defiant class ships are there?

[sagequan]

@katanaburner confirmed by all credible canon sources 9 Defiant class vessels were constructed by Starfleet. 2 were destroyed both during the dominion war the USS Defiant and the USS Valiant.

These vessels are always attached to a planetary defense network like earths main starbase, or to smaller stations in key hot spots like DS-9

Due to the Defiants size, crew compliment (49) lack research facilities or steller cartography, the defiant is not registered by Starfleet for independent steaming.

[thebuckrogers22]

man the breen aint no joke.

[thebuckrogers22]

i remember when i seen this and recorded it for the 1st time. i was like holy shit they destroyed the defiant

[TRUExSIGHTS]

That is possibly the slowest evacuation I have ever seen. I like DS9 but unfortunatley for me this scene had the worst acting out of the series (yet thats pretty suprising, as it was still a good scene.) DS9 was easily the best star trek series, but this scene just had no sense of urgency, the characters didn't rush out, just calmly walked out. In battle there would have been a scramble to escape a doomed ship, not a calm walk across a steady ship (should have been rocked more by explosions).

[isaned]

@TRUExSIGHTS Don't you know? NO ONE runs on Star Trek, especially the main characters. They could have stopped to get a replicated coffee, a donut, and listened to some Klingon Opera before heading leisurely to the escape pods.

[axom20]

one major concern here... why do toxic gass pipes go to the bridge?

[BarneystudiozFilmz]

That was one of the saddest moments of Star Trek kind of how the loss of Enterprise D should have been. You really feel for Sisko, especially Worf, most of the tiem he lived on that ship, it was a fine ship, if the not the finest, the best

[Vanubis10]

I dislike this video for the reason that it reminds us of a dark moment in DS9 history when the coolest ship was destroyed :<

[Seattlecarnut]

This was my favourite episode. Although it was difficult to see Defiant destroyed like it was, it was quite a battle.

[Alorrana]

they should build one in Rl !!!

[Wuptdo206]

It's a good day to die, when you know the reason why! She was a fine ship. 

[laylanspacedog]

you have to admit the breens ships design is unconventional but beautiful, and the defiant ,well the best ship for the best star trek series , it kicks ass and has no puffy ten forward , where the quantum torpedoe was born and can fly like the millennium falcon(well alomost ,that flying out of the death star was a bit crazy). yet the explosions were ahead of there time, not just bang an bits but fire ,guts , skeleton and structure. however the detail was missed by many .

[Bla31n]

The Federation Alliance should have been called the Grand Alliance.

[dajosh42069]

You can HEAR the pain in his voice when he gives the command to abandon ship. He's had a hard on for the defiant since he snuck up on DS9 with the Romulan cloaking device in use. Sisqo was one of the BEST captains there was.

[NykWithaY]

@dajosh42069 yes, that moment to this day gives me chills. mr brooks was a helluva actor too bad they couldnt extend the series another yr but it will always be number one series to me.

[dajosh42069]

The 2nd battle of Chin'Toka. Good battle, federation alliance was demolished!!

[rtds9fan]

God I remember being so pissed when I first saw this LOL.THe Defiant was my favorite ship of all the Star Trek ones.

[greatcow95]

Aww, don't fret Ben. You'll get another Frisbee-class ship sooner than you think!

[Audioholics]

Sisko gets a new Defiant shortly after and out of respect they named her the Defiant as well and even changed the registry to match the original Defiant. The new Defiant had a shield upgrade to make it immune from the Breen dampening weapon.

[MacUser135]

the abandon ship klaxon should have been the Enterprise-E's Red alert klaxon

[XFSXsnip3rX]

lol at 1:41 "What the hells?"

yes he said hellS lol

[darkthunder84]

@XFSXsnip3rX Probably short for... "What the hells going on?"

[sbtech01]

@XFSXsnip3rX Kenny emerson? Damn what are the odds.

[calumknight1984]

Was laughing my ass off at the dominion guys (cant remember the name of them) comments " poor captain sisko, i believe he was quite fond of that ship"

[DelDuio]

@calumknight1984 That's Weyoun, he's the lead V'orta. The Defiant is my favorite of all ST ships so this one stung a little.

[lootwarmeggz]

the breen completely raped the defiant

[NANOFORGE]

@lootwarmeggz Because Defiant had no power. The Defiant took down 2 Breen ships with it.

[BonScottAC]

I love this ship in Star trek Online

[beaugar22]

If the Dominion had destroyed Star Fleet and occupied The Federation colonies, then who would Q play with? He would be bored as shit. No Picard, No Sisko, No Janeway.

[beaugar22]

You guys, chill out. They got a new one! LOL. Badder and better. Its the one Worf uses against the Borg in First Contact.

[alasdair21]

Nope This was the Ship tht was in F-Contact. They could nt save this ship

[ironwolf9999]

@alasdair21 wrong there picard said the ship was a drift but savagable

[althom01]

@ironwolf9999 that was when they had to fight the borg the breen smashed te shit out of it

[sfs2040]

@beaugar22

Um, no. The Defiant seen in First Contact was this one, not the new one. If you follow the time line, First Contact took place in 2373. This battle was in 2375.

[MrVeruckt]

lucky that like 90% of the people survived in all the ships.... something like that...

[porpus99]

Only because the Founder wanted to spread fear into there enemies. Fear is the ultimate weapon.

[berner]

02:35 - "I like big dick..." *the crew is stunned* "You heard me..."

[Limegiver]

it wasn't "one torpedo" it was an energy dampener, which neutralized structural integrity fields, shields, most crucial systems. frankly the ship only lasted as long as it did due to the ablative armor and resistant framework.

[DelDuio]

@Limegiver Yeah, without the special armor the ship would've lasted exactly one torpedo. I guess it was a good idea to install it afterall.

[captain5enterprise]

how can ONE torpedo pass through the shields in one fire?

[xcalibr83]

what shields? the defiant had no power.

[Roadracer987654321]

The Defiant went out in a Blaze of Glory. She even protected her Lifeboats as they ejected from her top and belly. She went out with Honor .

[LivesForJihad]

@Roadracer987654321 Good ships go out in a blaze of glory...great ships never get destroyed.

[Roadracer987654321]

@LivesForJihad Sounds Good .

[Geemonster69]

The Breen also have organic ships

[ThotPran]

semi-organic.

[Artaphernes]

what confuses me is that all those ships dont have sheilds...

[MrPsychic8472]

Of course they have shields, but the Defiant was taken out by a Breen energy damping weapon, which means the shields were drained, then the ship systems were shut down. The Defiant had pretty substantial firepower, which is why it was able to destroy several ships before being taken out.

[Wimpoman]

I love the way Mr Brooks says "Fire" in this episode. lol

It's very confident and a bit cocky, which sets up the out come of the battle as ironic.

[ThotPran]

Exactly, the Federation alliance got a bit too cocky after the first battle of the chintoka system and the destruction of the monac shipyards, they probably thought they were in for an easy fight.

But they got a whooping. :P

[knowledgeslug]

That's always stood out for me too!

Though i think its more anger and vengeance fueled - if i'm right - in the episode previous to this, the breen had attacked earth and this was going to be the first full on engagement?

[TheStrike69]

@Wimpoman Of corse it is. They were expecting an easy victory. They had a fleet made up of the 3 most powerfull races military wise in both the Alpha and beta Quadrunts, they had found a countermesure to the Dominion beam weaponry so it didn't just go right through the shields. They lost I belive like 98% of the fleet or somthing like that.

[ganados0]

They want to thank their lucky stars while the energy dampening weapon was effective the disrupters took their time.

[LittleFrenchy72]

Meh Janeway and Voyager are the best ship and captain in ZAAA univers of sci fi

[Audioholics]

Isn't it always the case that the Federation fights a new enemy or faces a new weapon that is invincible until a few episodes later when they fight them again?

The Defiant should have cloaked after each attack. I use that maneuver when playing Legacy so the enemy fleet can't maintain a weapons lock.

[FekLeyrTarg]

There's one thing missing about cloaking in Legacy and Starfleet Command 1, 2 and Orion Pirates: Cloaking ships usually means lowering their shields.

(I love discussing Sci-fi tech)

[YungTigreDaKing]

it takes time for the ship to cloak, and the cloak takes a ton of engergy to use, which is why the shields are taken offline to use it

[captain5enterprise]

@YungTigreDaKing

well, isn't it worth it? I mean, would you risk lowering shields to go to cloak instead of abandoning it?

[YungTigreDaKing]

lol well it wouldnt help at that point, the shields got no power remember ?

[captain5enterprise]

good point...

well if the ship is gonna blow up I guess I would have leaft to. lol

[frostymoviesjp]

poor Defiant got owend !!

and like Captain sisko...

i was quite fond of that ship my self :(

[ThotPran]

Same here, I loved that ship and was sad to see it go out like that. :(

[OJtheModerator]

1:05 Uh... That is now my favorite sequence of all Star Trek starship warfare.

[DeathscytheRick]

Defiant rocked. Sisko was the best 24th century Captain.

[kkhwt]

Without the energy dissaptor the Breen aren't all that remarkable; the Defiant destroyed one of the vessels with four quantum torpedoes (many more hit the Scimitar in Nemesis and it didn't even weaken it much; one orbital weapon paltform took six to destroy it...) and the Defiant was on it's way to destroying the vessel that fired the energy dissapating shot before she lost power

[sdgaysd]

The name of this episode is "The Changing Face of Evil". It is the 20th episode of season 7.

[AmateurActors]

can anybody tell me what the name of this episode is please

[matt927]

ahh don't foget Sisko got a new Defiant like two episodes later!!!

[RushforBerlin]

Hellyeah XD

[wantsvictory]

lol @ the Defiant Owned in about 8 shots!!!

[TheJaSon006]

Only Sci-fi ship I like more are BSG Vipers. Millenium Falcon and Y-wings are right behind the Defiant. I so miss DS9.

[FLAME4564]

lallz darn i soo h8ted to see it end like this for the defiant lolz

[animeownage86]

You got to feel bad for Starfleet it's yet another massacre. First wolf 359 now this. The Defiant was the most bad ass ship in any universe rest in peace.

[knfstarfire]

Yes, one does have to feel bad, but one has o look at the other side of the coin. The founder did the worst possible thing, letting all of the pods escape. This gave the federation critical information and the surviving crews massive resolve to come back and fight harder. Starfleet crews don't think like most groups in that universe, almost always willing to rise back up after a loss. The defiant is a perfect example, born from the information at wolf 359

[UlixesderNacht]

Goodbye, U.S.S. Defiant ...
