Several weeks into the Hurq invasion, the Mark 1a, with red markings, used captured technology to upgrade the weapons. Valkyries were also armed with the standard load of ten quantum torpedoes, ten photon torpedoes and a forward firing tractor beam that swiveled aft for towing. The standard armament was the usual medium-range twin Type-X pulse phasers, a nose-mounted Type-IX phaser for close range sustained firing and a special pressor beam to shove targets away. The first production model was the Mark 1, a heavily modified Talon-class Federation Mission Scoutship.
The Mark 2 bears a strong resemblance to the Defiant-class escort.įor some reason the names used in the conceptual drawings of the Scarab and Gryphon were reversed for the game. The Scarab-class was a slower fighter with moderate shield and a stronger hull. The general shape vaguely resembled some Romulan fighters but is actually derived from the Saber-class light cruiser. The Gryphon-class was a fragile but heavily shielded and faster fighter. The hull follows the general design of shuttle craft with two wings for atmospheric flight that narrow sharply. The Orca-class was small lightly shielded and highly agile fighter. The modularity carried on to the Valkyrie-class fighter. Although normally carrying ten each, a fighter could load special modules via tractor beam to load ten more. They were armed with twin Type-X phasers, pre-set to pulse mode, and a single torpedo launcher that carried photon torpedoes. The first testing of the design came in early 2377 when the USS Typhon and Valkyrie Squadron became involved in the Titan System Incident.Īfter the initial engagements with the Kam'Jahtae menace, several variants were gradually developed. These attack ships were designed to work in conjunction with Typhon-class carriers introduced at the same time.
