The USS Valiant (NCC-1223) was a Ranger-class explorer in service in the early 23rd century. (RPG reference: Star Trek: The Original Series - Core Rules Book, ST roleplay module: Starfleet Operations Manual)
In 2217, the Valiant visited the planet Eminiar VII and was declared a casualty of that world's ongoing computer-run conflict with neighboring Vendikar. The Valiant was lost with all hands. (TOS episode: "A Taste of Armageddon")
- For years, many fans assumed this could have been a Constitution-class vessel based on a ship list provided in the The Making of Star Trek, but the timeframe of its loss predates that ship type by many years. The registry listed here was supplied not from the episode, but was devised by Michael Okuda for his reference works. In one of those works, the first edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Okuda suggested the ship could be Daedalus-class, a suggestion that wasn't repeated in future editions of the Encyclopedia. The Last Unicorn roleplaying reference originated this vessel's Ranger-class designation, though there are other internet-based fanon designations that list this design as the Declaration-class.
