Fair Use Rationale for USS Defiant

 * 1) There exists no free alternative, nor can one be created. the USS Defiant is a fictional starship, all images of it are necessarily copyrighted.
 * 2) This image respects commercial opportunities - a cropped screenshot cannot meaningfully compete with a 44 minute episode.
 * 3) The image represents a minimal use - it is a cropped screenshot - less than a single frame from an episode that has over 50 000 frames. It is of a reasonable low resolution.
 * 4) The image has been previously published, in the broadcasted, as well as sold on DVD Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode "One Little Ship"
 * 5) The image is of a major starship from a culturally significant series of television shows. It is encyclopedic.
 * 6) The image generally meets the image use policy.
 * 7) The image is used in at least one article, USS Defiant.
 * 8) The image contributes strongly to the article. As a fictional starship, the subject is more easily visualised.
 * 9) The image is used only in the article namespace.
 * 10) The image is from http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/USS_Defiant_%28NX-74205%29 and the copyright is owned by Paramount Pictures.
