Baraka- "Apocalypse Rising"
A solar vessel or lightship built by Sisko from ancient Bajoran blueprints. Legend had it that the Bajorans had once visited Cardassia in such vessels.

USS Defiant (NX-74205)USS Defiant
A prototype Starfleet warship, built in 2366 to fight the Borg; it was officially designated an "escort vessel". Sisko helped design it. Unfortunately, it failed its initial test runs due to being overgunned and overpowered for a ship its size; then, when the Borg threat receded, it was forgotten until Sisko requested it for the mission to locate the Founders. After that, it was permanently attached to DS9.
The Defiant has a cloaking device loaned by the Romulans, which originally was to be used only in the Gamma Quadrant. It has a crew of up to 50; and also has a Class M warp drive. According to Ron Moore on AOL, the Defiant is 545 ft. long, 350 ft. wide and 50 ft. tall.
The motto on the Defiant's bridge plaque was: "All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by." -- John Masefield

In battle at the Chin'toka system, the Defiant was hit by a Breen energy dissipator. It was destroyed immediately after its crew abandoned ship.

Ekina- "Sons of Mogh"
The freighter on which Verad and his gang came to DS9.
- "Invasive Procedures"

Galor-class- "The Forsaken"
A large class of Cardassian warships. Type-3 Galor-class warships are the most powerful ships used by the Cardassians.
USS GanderA runabout assigned to DS9; taken by Ezri to search for Worf. It was attacked by Jem'Hadar, and destroyed after Ezri and Worf abandoned it. (Note: The script and the closed captioning spell it "Ganges", which of course is the name of a runabout that was destroyed in the 2nd season; obviously a script error that TPTB tried to cover by dubbing the name "Gander" into the audio track. Gander is the name of a river in Canada, thus keeping up the tradition of naming runabouts after Earth rivers.)
USS Gandhi- "Penumbra"
The ship on which Tom Riker served after his rescue from Nervala IV, until he went AWOL and joined the Maquis.
USS Ganges (NCC-72454)- "Defiant"

Ki'Tang- "Defiant"
A Klingon bird-of-prey which was part of the Alpha Quadrant fleet defeated by the Breen at Chin'toka. It was the only ship not affected by the Breen energy dissipators, due to the fact that just before the battle, the chief engineer had adjusted the tritium intermix to compensate for a containment problem in the warp core. Martok ordered every Klingon ship to make the same adjustment.
USS Lakota (NCC-42768)- "When It Rains..."
An Excelsior-class starship with fortified weapons. It brought Sisko, Jake, and Odo from DS9 to Earth; its transporters were later utilized during the planetary power outage. Benteen became its captain, and was sent to stop the Defiant from reaching Earth.

A Klingon bird-of-prey included in Martok's "cavalry raid" into Dominion/Cardassian territory.

Kor rendered Worf unconscious and went instead.

Quark's Treasure
A Ferengi shuttle which Quark's cousin Gaila bought for him and sent to DS9 as repayment for an old loan. Quark used it to take Nog to Starfleet Academy on Earth, also intending to smuggle kemacite to Orion; however, the ship's command sequencer had been sabotaged so that it was unable to leave warp once engaged.

Naprem and Ziyal were going to transfer to another ship at a rendezvous. When Kira learned that part of the ship had been found, she went with Dukat to investigate. They found the wreckage on a planet in the Dozaria system; Kira learned that the ship had been attacked by two unidentified warships which chased it there and presumably forced it to crashland. 12 people died in the battle and the crash. The rest were taken prisoner by the Breen and forced to mine dilithium on the planet; 31 were left when Kira and Dukat rescued them.
