U.S.S. Buenos Aires NCC-1660, Miranda Class Light Cruiser - Donny Versiga

Presenting: Starfleet’s Deadliest Posting! 

Your chances of survival while serving on a Miranda-class starship are slim to none. It beats out the Oberth-class starship in death rates, if only because the Oberth-class didn’t see service during the Dominion War.  If your ship doesn’t get shot out from under you because you’re a disposable first wave in a Big Battle, then you’ll just pick up something deadly while on a routine patrol or supply run.*

*okay the 2280s Saratoga *might* not be dead, just filled with scared and exhausted officers. There’s no guarantee the whale probe undid what it did to all the ships that were in its path originally, and even if it did, that everyone survived in the interim.

- Looks just like her.
- Let’s hope she fights like her.

The new Defiant is taken into the final fight.
