The USS Sitak was a Miranda-class Federation starship in the 24th century.
The Sitak was an active participant in the Dominion War. In 2374, the Sitak was part of the fleet assembled by Captain Benjamin Sisko for Operation Return.
During the battle, the Sitak and the USS Majestic escorted the USS Defiant as the ships attempted to break through the Dominion lines. It was damaged after being hit in the port nacelle by a particle weapon, before finally being destroyed by taking a direct hit from a torpedo to its saucer section. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels")
[edit] Background
Interestingly enough, Sisko consulted a Vulcan Admiral Sitak for the mission.
The starship's registry is seen briefly on the dorsal surface of the primary hull as the ship passed the screen. This registry number is not repeated on the ventral surface. For more information, see this discussion.
The scene featuring the Sitak that depicted its destruction was later reused in the final battle sequence from DS9: "What You Leave Behind".
