'''UNSC ''Valiant''''' was the [[Wikipedia:Lead ship|lead ship]] of the {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}}, a class of [[Cruiser|heavy cruiser]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref>[[Stephen Loftus]] on the [[Talk:Autumn-class heavy cruiser|''Autumn'' class' talk page]]</ref> | |||
==History== | |||
UNSC ''Valiant'' was drafted by the [[UNSC Navy]] as a combination between a [[battleship]] and a [[Cruiser|heavy cruiser]]. ''Valiant'' was commissioned and released from her [[Mars|Martian]] shipyard docking clamps in [[2493]], after undergoing years of feasibility studies and redesigns. ''Valiant'' showed promise during her initial testing and evaluation, though the high costs and delays in incorporating next-generation fusion drives seemingly doomed the ''Valiant'' class.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | |||
Less than two years after her commissioning, ''Valiant'' and the fellow ships of her class were relegated from the UNSC Navy rolls and partially scrapped. However, in [[2497]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] discovered that [[insurrectionist]] sympathizers had infiltrated the [[Colonial Military Administration]], which led to an escalation of the ongoing [[Insurrection]]. With most command ships now engaged in lengthy counterinsurgency [[operation]]s, ''Valiant'' and other members of the class were soon utilized as command-and-control [[flagship]]s, with the tonnage and firepower of the class successfully augmenting [[battle group]]s of smaller [[warship]]s. ''Valiant'' and a handful of other super-heavy cruisers, including {{UNSCShip|Everest}}, were outfitted with a complete suite of command upgrades to aid the [[United Nations Space Command]] in the Insurrection.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | |||
''Valiant'' was present during the [[Fall of Reach|Fall]] of [[Reach]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], attached to the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]].<ref name="SGC"/> | |||
