The USS Valor (NCC-74559[1]) was a 24th century[2] Federation starship, a Centaur-class[1] cruiser[2] and later frigate[1] in Starfleet service by the 2370s decade. In the 2400s, the Valor participated in the Federation-Klingon War of 2405-2410[1]. (DS9 novel: Antimatter, STO - Klingon War mission: "Hide and Seek")
History and specifications[]
This vessel was the successor of the 23rd century Miranda-class starship USS Valor, which also participated in a war with the Klingon Empire. At the end of the Federation-Klingon War of 2285, the Valor was destroyed in battle with Klingons. (TOS - To Boldly Go comic: "Mortal Gods")
In 2370, the cruisers Valor and Regal were assigned to escort the antimatter tanker Phoenix to Deep Space 9. Nearing the space station the Valor and the Regal were attacked by Klingon mercenaries in birds of prey.
The Valor was badly damaged and one member of its crew was killed by a radiation leak. Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir of DS9 beamed aboard to repair the ship and treat its crew. The ship remained disabled and was unable to help DS9 and the Regal fight off a squadron of Cardassian fighters. (DS9 novel: Antimatter)
The crippled Valor.
In the year 2409, the Valor discovered an illegal dilithium mining operation, conducted by the Gorn in the Paulson Nebula. Captain Stefan Marz sent a distress call when the ship sustained damage from attacking Vishap-class frigates. Another Starfleet vessel responded. Marz requested the Starfleet ship to collect dilithium crystals and fight off the attacking Vishap- and Tuatara-class squadrons. Once the Valor was spaceworthy again, Marz had the ship set a course for Starbase 157 for full repairs and directed the other Starfleet ship to more Gorn activity in the nearby Lackey star system.
