In-Universe:
The U.S.S. Defiant approaches a Maquis occupied planet.
Production:
An aft-ventral view of the Defiant as the camera pulls away, making it appear as if the Defiant is flying towards the planet when in fact the camera is doing the opposite and pulling away from the studio model.
"The rolls and thrusters bursts Dax announced were brought to life by Gary Hutzel's crisp motion control photography of the Defiant and DS9."
