Tricking Weapons Platforms to Destroy Asteroid

In-Universe:
The U.S.S. Defiant, and small group of fleet ships trick the weapons platforms into firing at their own power source on the asteroid.

Production:
The Digital Muse V2 CGI model is used in this scene. This confirms that this is the same model used in the episode "Valiant' because the registry number on the nose is not the Defiant's NX-74205, but the Valiant's number: NCC-74210.
