Star Trek Attack Wing: USS Defiant

Like all ships released to date, the U.S.S. Defiant
expansion pack allows a player to run the unique version of the ship
(at 24 Squadron Points) or the non-unique version of the ship (at 22 points).
The named U.S.S. Defiant gains one shield as well as
the special ability to convert all of the opponent’s Critical Hits to Hits when
defending– representing the ablative armor of the U.S.S.
Defiant .
With Benjamin Sisko at the helm, a player will be able to re-roll
any one of their attack or defensive dice once per round. When he’s off on other
duties, Kira Nerys steps in with a Captain Skill of 3 and the ability
to save crew upgrades from being disabled or discarded. Thought sporting the
Bajoran faction allegiance, Kira’s special ability also allows her to captain
Federation Starships without paying the faction penalty she would have to
normally pay.
The U.S.S. Defiant expansion also comes with
several great new upgrades for the Federation. The hard hitting Quantum
Torpedoes make their first appearance as does the first Tech upgrade for
the Federation in the form of a Cloaking Device . An additional 4 points
will allow the U.S.S. Defiant access to both the Cloak
action as well as the Sensor Echo action. Due to the Federation’s limited access
to cloak technology, this upgrade costs 5 additional Squadron Points when not
assigned to the U.S.S. Defiant . Because a ship is
only as effective as the crew that runs her, the expansion also includes 3 Crew
Upgrades for the Federation. Jadzia Dax helps get a ship into a better
combat position while Miles O’Brien keeps a ship in the fight for the
duration of the battle by repairing 2 Shield Tokens. Additionally we see
Worf impacting the battle by causing an opponent’s ship to roll two
fewer attack die in a round.
