As mentioned in passing in the May Azland /THEN arc of Wilderness, a small class of starships named the 'Defiant' class was produced by the WDF in the 2280s. A handful of these ships escaped destruction during Gotterdamerung and defected intact to the CFMF, which after trials relegated them to Home Fleet defense. The small ships were, in the long term, a failure; the warp power plants of the day could not produce the high sublight acceleration and high weapons yield the ships were designed for simultaneously, and they were notoriously prone to breakdowns. However, due to the nature of the times, they did see battle on multiple occasions defending the Home Fleet's retreat from combat zones. The last of this class of ship was decommissioned in 2348, and the CFMF applied the lessons of the class to its ongoing refits of its own vessels.

As for a fast shipkiller, the CFMF is beginning as of 2405 to phase out the Super Myrmidon (Y-Wing) from its carrier bomber wings in favor of the Crusader...
