Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What special type of armor does the Defiant carry?

Answer: ablative

Ablative armor is extremely strong and withstood an assault from three Klingon Birds of Prey for quite a while when rescuing a bunch of Cardassian officials.The officials were believed to be Changelings in disguise by the Klingons. This was after the attack on Cardassian space by the Klingons. Too bad the Klingons didn't capture Cardassia Prime.

2. What alien group was the Defiant class originally built to fight?

Answer: Borg

The Dominion took quite a few heavy losses as a result of this small ship.

3. The Defiant carries plasma torpedoes.

Answer: False

Only Romulan and Gorn ships carry these, that I know of.

4. The Defiant was destroyed fighting the Borg when they attempted to invade Earth in "Star Trek: First Contact".

Answer: False

The ship lost life support and was severely damaged, but not destroyed. It was adrift until after Enterprise-E returned, it was later salvaged.

5. What two types of phasers did the Defiant carry?

Answer: arrays and pulse

Pulse phasers fire rapidly and often are what actually destroys the Jem'Hadar ships that it fights.

6. How many shuttles could the Defiant carry?

Answer: 1

DS9 had only 3 shuttlecraft launch pads and runabouts. The only one that was never destroyed or totaled was the U.S.S. Rio Grande.

7. What two types of torpedoes did the Defiant carry?

Answer: photon and quantum

Spatial missiles were carried by Enterprise NX-01.

8. How many torpedoes does Defiant normally carry?

Answer: 250 combined

DS9 had 5000 photons or quantums on board at one time. Many of these torpedos were used in a fight with a small Klingon fleet.
The full torpedo complement is 150 photons and 100 quantum torps.

9. A second Defiant was built by the people from the other side of the "Looking Glass" alternate universe.

Answer: True

They had some of the same problems with that Defiant as the Federation side had. It also nearly tore itself apart when the engines were tested. Sisko helped them fix it and to fight the Alliance battle fleet under Regent Worf. Which they forced all ships to turn away or were destroyed.

10. Under the agreement with the Romulans, where were the Federation not supposed to use the Defiant's cloaking device?

Answer: Alpha Quadrant

The Romulans must have been scared the Federation would steal its secrets. Although they didn't follow this agreement many times.
