After an extended LOA, I have decided to undertake a daring mission defending a nearby station, currently under attack by Thargoids. Before I set out on my mission, I require a smaller, more nimble ship- The Defiant. A Krait Mk II type vessel, I should have more maneuverability and engine power, while still having a comparable armament.
