After the Defiant was destroyed by the Breen, her replacement, the former USS Sao Paulo, was not equipped with a new cloaking device. ( DS9: " The Dogs of War")

The Defiant subsequently rescued Odo and Quark from an L-class planet their runabout had crashed on after being sabotaged by the Orion Syndicate. ( DS9: " The Ascent") The USS Defiant then rendezvoused with the remnants of a Terran assault fleet still engaged with rebel forces. Two Andorian battle cruisers, one Vulcan D'kyr-type cruiser, and one Tellarite cruiser disabled the Terran ship ISS Avenger NX-09. Boasting 23rd-century technology from its native universe that outclassed the 22nd-century capabilities of the opposing force, Defiant easily destroyed all the rebel ships except one Andorian cruiser, which Archer intentionally allowed to escape.

The 2013 virtual collectible card battle game Star Trek: Rivals has the Defiant on card #91: "NCC-1764 USS Defiant." According to Hutzel, during the early development stages of the ship, the Defiant was to be " a new hot battleship that would really set a new standard for an action ship in the series.

They were secretly building up an invasion fleet in the Orias system according to an intelligence report. Kira tries to reach Riker, he is still acting more like a Starfleet officer than a terrorist.While writing Bashir-centric seventh season episode " Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges", Ron Moore opted not to use the Defiant as the installment's main setting (which instead was the Intrepid-class USS Bellerophon). " For the piece to work, it couldn't be [on] the Defiant , because I didn't want the rest of our characters along for the ride," Moore explained. " It would have given Bashir too many safe places to go. It had to be on another ship."
