SS Valiant

The SS Valiant is a High Guard Federation Victory-class starship that was in service with High Guard in the late 24th century. The Valiant was launched from the Antares Ship Yards in 2372. It was originally assigned as a training ship for the elite cadetcorps Red Squad under the command of Captain Ramirez, until his death, causing then-Cadet Tim Walters to take command. The ship was then changed into a starship after the Red Squad cadets became Red Squad officers.

Around 2374, the Valiant had a new chief medical officer on board Lt. Lillian Crusher from the SS Sundance, who she was posted for three months after graduating from High Guard Academy. She was offered the opportunity by Admiral Livingston, who selected her because of her past expierences as a teenage High Guard officer aboard the SS Victory.

In 2374, crewed by only a handful of expierenced High Guard officers and 35 elite Red Squad cadets, it embarked on a training mission, before they were promoted to High Guard officers after graduating from High Guard Academy.
