USS Valkyrie

thingiverse

Starfleet's next-generation flagship, the USS Valkyrie NX-96919 (Typhon Upgrade), stands tall at 2406.29 meters in length, 1209.30 meters in width, and 602.55 meters in height. Commissioned on a mission to surpass its predecessor, the Typhon class mobile command carrier, the Valkyrie boasts an impressive sevenfold increase in size, solidifying its status as the largest warp-capable construct in Federation history. The massive starship's enormous power requirements necessitated the addition of two extra warp nacelles, bringing the total count to six. This feat not only amplifies its propulsion capabilities but also underscores its formidable presence on the battlefield. The Valkyrie is equipped with 180 cutting-edge Phoenix class attack fighters, which can be further augmented by accommodating over 200 additional service craft and shuttles. In addition to its fighter launch bays located on the port and starboard hulls, the Valkyrie features two expansive hangars at the rear, each capable of carrying a Defiant class escort starship. This impressive arsenal is complemented by standard energy shields and maneuverable turrets that can unleash devastating pulse phaser and torpedo attacks. Furthermore, the ship boasts several Type X phaser emitters and an experimental Transphasic Beam Lance, strategically mounted on its dorsal forward edge. Although the lance still requires refinement for frequent use, it possesses the potential to revolutionize combat operations with a single, precision-crafted shot. The Valkyrie's unique 'Fortress Mode' enables it to create an almost impenetrable solid shield around itself, courtesy of hull-mounted 'Ablative Armour' generators. This mode can be partially undeployed, allowing the exposed turrets around the perimeter to engage enemy targets while the ship enjoys enhanced protection. However, when the armor is fully deployed, the Valkyrie must resort to conventional warp propulsion, capping its speed at a maximum of warp 8. This strategic trade-off underscores the vessel's adaptability and tactical versatility. The design objective behind the USS Valkyrie was to project a strong Federation presence in distant quadrants where traditional starship fleets might be impractical or impossible. By leveraging its enormous size and self-sufficiency, the Valkyrie offers an attractive alternative to starbases and service yards, making it an ideal choice for remote operations. Its sheer dimensions and supporting complement of vessels enable the Valkyrie to maintain itself and its associated ships, rendering it a vital asset in maintaining Federation dominance across the galaxy.
