The Valkyrie-class was a Federation attack fighter from the 24th century. (Star Trek: Invasion)
The Valkyrie-class was designed as a replacement for the Peregrine-class fighter designed in the 2360s. It was a superior fighter that made use of advances in technology from the 2370s. It was similarly armed but was faster and more manoeuvrable.
Limited numbers of the Valkyrie were deployed for testing during the Dominion War with groups such as Special Operations Command. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "The Founder Ploy")
2375, after the conclusion of the Dominion War, saw the first operational Starfleet squadron of Valkyries. Theses fighters were assigned to the USS Typhon. (Star Trek: Invasion)
In 2376 the Valkyrie was starting to appear in significant numbers. During a refit at Sol the USS Swiftfire-A had one of its squadrons of Peregrine-class fighters replaced with Valkyrie-class fighters. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "United We Stand")
By 2381, however, these fighters were still being deployed in fairly limited numbers, and were often shuffled around the fleet, The USS Beliskner received a squadron of Valkyrie fighters for flight evaluations when it was upgraded to Space Control Ship specs, but they would soon be replaced by upgraded Peregrine-class fighters when the vessel was returned to fleet. (Star Trek: New Order)
