Earth's First FTL Capable Warship, the Defender Class was built partially as a trauma reaction to the Capital Ships of the Empire and as such were built to kill and Imperial Class Star Destroyer in one on one combat using its massive forward battery supported by a decently sized complement of high preformance star fighters (normally X-Wings or later the Terran derived) Corsair Fighter. While relatively lightly armored and with weak shields, the Defender was one of the fastest capital ships in the galaxy, able to keep pace with even small gunboats and corvettes.
Assembled at Boeing's facilies over the Moon and Mars, Defenders are seen in the UN Navy, the US, Russian, Chinese, Commonwealth, and European Federation Space Forces.
