Valiant (ship)

The ISS Valiant was Fleet Admiral Dawson's flagship during the Khorsky Incident, twelve years prior to the events of Constitution. During the incident, the Valiant and an accompanying fleet of IDF warships intervened in the space battle that was being waged on the orbit of Vitaly Three, between IDF forces led by Commander Timothy Granger's ISS Formidable and Commander Abraham Haws's frigate, and Russian forces consisting of several warships, likely including the Varyag. Valiant and her fleet, following successful moderation, escorted the two IDF warships back to United Earth space, where Commanders Granger and Haws were put on court-martial.

The Valiant was later destroyed, presumably with all hands, defending Earth during the opening sequences of the Second Swarm War.
