It can only carry one squadron of twelve fighters and a number of shuttles, although it has a decent sized troop complement on board, consisting of 1800 troops which can be deployed on planetary engagements. As such, hangar space and maneuverability were sacrificed in order to allow the placement of additional armament, which has been increased by the recent retrofit, to include two additional hypervelocity cannons and four additional heavy turbolasers. The Valiant-class is designed primarily for front line combat. When first conceptualized, the Valiant design incorporated a number of features such as an improved comms package, allowing it to not only serve as a mainline capital ship, but as a patrol group flagship as well, also giving it the ability to defeat most types of comms jamming, making it ideally suited to lead small fleet groups on patrol or special assignments. This made it a highly versatile design, a feature which the Confederacy took advantage of when retrofitting this venerable design to modern standards.
A smaller, lighter ship of the line than the average Star Destroyers, the Valiant served as a long range torpedo platform and as a mainline capital ship within the fleets of the Shrouded Republic and Ancient Eye for many years, performing its missions with distinction.Īs with most early ships designed by Wolfe Design Bureau, the Valiant-class originally featured a modular design, which was meant to allow for the easy removal and replacement of entire ship sections by a shipyard, thus drastically reducing the costs and time required for a retrofit. shortly after the fall of the Dominion, the Valiant-class was based on the same concept as the Victory Star Destroyers used by the Galactic Empire in the past.
