The
USS Valiant is one of the biggest technological leaps for Federation ship design. It
incorporates new high-powered sensor arrays as well as some mission-specific modular
sensor palettes. The internal design of the USS Valiant is great improvement compared with
previous ships. It includes high quality quarters as well as elaborate conference halls.
New weapons such as phaser strip banks and new burst rapid-fire torpedo tubes are also
introduced on this ship. The new phasers allows the ship to fire at a faster rate than a
ball-turret phaser emitter that which was on the Excelsior Class. The USS valiant is also
fitted with a new duranium plate armor, which provides protection for vital areas of the
ship in case of shield failure.
The
Ambassador Class was commissioned in to service in 2341.
