The USS Valiant (NCC-74210) was a Federation Defiant-class starship launched from the Antares Ship Yards in 2372.

In 2373, the Valiant was assigned as the training vessel for the elite Red Squadron and sent on a three-month cruise to circumnavigate the Federation. During its cruise the Dominion War broke out and the ship quickly found itself behind enemy lines. While trying to return to Federation territory it was engaged by a Cardassian battle cruiser, the Valiant destroyed the battle cruiser though at the cost of the ship's officers, leaving the vessel under the command of Cadet Tim Watters.

Watters then undertook the captain's secret orders to track and collect data on the new Jem'Hadar battleship. After several months the Valiant managed to fulfill its mission, Watters then decided to attempt to destroy the battleship by shooting a modified torpedo at the antimatter storage system's primary support braces. During the engagement the Valiant was destroyed, only three people onboard managed to escape alive. (DS9: "Valiant")

Nomenclature[]

The ship was named after the SS Valiant, launched in the 2060s. That ship's fate was not known until its recorder-marker was picked up by the USS Enterprise in 2265. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")
