The Tzenkethi Incident

"Captain's log, Stardate 48962.5. We are twelve hours from the border. I haven't been in this area since the last Federation-Tzenkethi War."

"Captain's log, supplemental. We've returned to the station without further incident. However, I'm concerned for my chief of security, who hasn't said a word since we left Tzenkethi space." (DS9: "The Adversary")

The artificial wormhole project

"Defiant Log: Stardate 49195.5. We have arrived at the coordinates to begin preliminary tests for the artificial wormhole project." (DS9: "Rejoined")

The Karemma rescue

"Captain's Log, Stardate 49263.5. At the request of the Karemma Commerce Ministry, we've brought the Defiant to a remote system in the Gamma Quadrant to discuss problems that have surfaced regarding our recent trade agreement."

"Defiant Log, Supplemental. Damage control teams are repairing the ship's systems and medics are tending to injured crewmembers. We have located the Karemma ship deep in the atmosphere and are moving to assist. It appears that it will have to be abandoned and its crew brought back to Deep Space 9 until transportation can be arranged to the Karemma homeworld." (DS9: "Starship Down")

Breen privateers

Captain's log, Stardate 49904.2. After driving away Breen privateers from the Bajoran colony of Free Haven, we are returning to Deep Space 9. I think I speak for the whole crew when I say it'll be good to be home. (DS9: "To the Death")

Bringing Odo home

"Captain's Log: Stardate 49962.4. After leaving our Jem'Hadar escorts at the edge of Dominion space, the Defiant has returned home. But for Constable Odo, I'm afraid the journey has just begun." (DS9: "Broken Link")

The search for Eddington

"Captain's Log: Stardate 50488.2 The Defiant has returned home... but not under its own power. The Starship Malinche had to tow us home."

Captain's Log: Supplemental. After completing a series of readiness drills, we've entered the plasma fields of the Badlands... and begun our search for Eddington.

"Captain's Log: Supplemental. Odo's hunch has proven accurate. Our intelligence drones detected a Maquis freighter entering Portas V three hours ago."

"Captain's Log: Supplemental. Resettlement efforts in the DMZ are underway. The Cardassian and Maquis colonists who were forced to abandon their homes will make new lives for themselves on the planets their counterparts evacuated." (DS9: "For the Uniform")

Gamma Quadrant reconnaissance mission

"Captain's Log, Stardate 50814.2. The Defiant is returning to Deep Space 9 after a weeklong reconnaissance mission in the Gamma Quadrant." (DS9: "Children of Time")

The little scientific mission

"Captain's Log, Stardate 51474.2 The Defiant has been ordered to investigate a rare subspace compression phenomenon recently discovered in Federation space. Three of my officers are taking a runabout into the anomaly's vortex."

"Captain's Log, Stardate 51492.3. After completing repairs, we were able to return to the anomaly and successfully restore our runabout and its crew to their normal size. The surviving Jem'Hadar have been transferred to a Federation POW camp." (DS9: "One Little Ship")

PQ-1 and Lisa Cusak

Captain's Log: Stardate 51948.3 With the safe arrival of convoy PQ-1 in the Vegan system, our escort duties are now complete and I've set course for home.

Captain's Log: Supplemental. The marooned Starfleet officer, whose name we've learned is Lisa, continues to transmit her call for help..." (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")
