Notes: The newest addition to the Starfleet fighter production program, the Valkyrie-class is intended to replace the aging fleet of Peregrine-class fighters currently in use throughout the Federation. Smaller and more agile, Valkyrie-class ships can be used for a variety of missions from planetary assault to spacecraft interception. Unlike the Peregrine-class, the Valkyrie-class is intended to be used in small groups, which makes it ideal for fighter wing groups.
