Weapons & Defensive Systems
| Weapon Systems | The Valkyrie class fighter was first introduced by Starfleet as a new model of strike craft shortly after the Dominion War in the 24th century. Three training prototypes were in use. They were armed with twin type X Phasers, pre-set to pulse mode, and a single torpedo launcher that carried Photon Torpedoes. Although normally carrying ten each, a fighter could load special modules via tractor beam to load ten more. The first production model was the Mark I. The standard armament was the usual medium-range twin Type X pulse phasers, a nose-mounted Type 9 phaser for close range sustained firing, and a special pressor beam to shove target away. Valkyries were also armed with the standard load of ten quantum torpedoes, ten photon torpedoes and a forward firing tractor beam which can be swiveled aft for towing. Next was the Mark Ia, with red markings, offered an upgrade to its weapons systems. A forward mounted compression phaser was added as well as gravitic mines. The Mark II variants, offered much larger forward pointing nacelles as well as additional weapons systems upgrades. These heavily armed and heavily armored fighters traded the type 9 phaser for alternating pulse phasers and added a new variation on a standard cloaking device. The Mark IIb versions kept the pulse phasers, Quantun Torpedoes, and gravitic mines. They replaced the Type 10 phasers with Polaron beams, Charged Polaron beams, and a Trilithium Warhead. The Mark III model is the latest variation of the Valkyrie fighter. Using bio-technology, the sleek curved Y-shaped hull reached forward from the cockpit to two arcing nacelles bracketing the hull. An extensive weapons loadout includes disrupters, pulse disrupters, Polaron Beams, Charged Polaron Beams and the standard compression phaser. Quantum torpedoes were replaced with Protomatter missles and the gravitic mines were upgraded to Trilithium. The ship can be fitted if necessary with an additional module to carry gravitic mines and a special antimatter salvo to supplement the phasers. Original image from: Wolf's Shipyard |
