The Valor class Missile Corvette is a very light warship.
- It is a military ship and a Missile Corvette.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
It is a vessel with 6-G and J-4 performance with a partially streamlined close structure hull. The Valor class was originally designed to operate in flotillas, remaining at long range throughout the course of an engagement.
- It carries medium armament and a military defensive suite. Intended to set up intensive missile barrages, the corvette has four triple missile turrets and stores a large supply nuclear and HE missiles. They are highly effective against smaller vessels, with the HE missiles being of great use in limited bombardments or against nuclear dampers.
- It ordinarily carries no subcraft nor drones.
- It has a 11 sophont crew and no marines. [1]

General Description & Deck Plans[edit]
- A schematic view of a Valor class Missile Corvette.
Details: There are five distinct decks aboard the Missile Corvette, though only two are full decks. The bridge is a small, elevated deck forward, with Maneuver Deck A located aft. The bridge has two positions, for pilot and navigator; a console on the upper maneuver deck accomodates one of four engineers.
The main deck holds avionics gear forward. Aft of this are three staterooms, two for ship's officers and a third shared by two crewmen; opposite these are the ship's locker and a storage area. Amidships and. to starboard is the main airlock and two double staterooms for crewmen. Another double stateroom and the galley/rec room are located to port. Jump Drive and Power Plant machinery are located aft, with one engineering console present.
- The Engineering Deck is next, housing fuel forward and power plant machinery-and an engineering console--aft. Below this is Maneuver Deck 3 with the last of the engineer's positions.
- On the two full decks, turret controls are located just aft of the midships bulge. The turrets themselves are backed up by two missile magazines which feed the turrets by elevators and conveyor belts.
- The ship is unusually cramped for an Imperial Naval vessel, stressing efficiency and firepower over comfort. Double staterooms feature bunk beds; the captain/pilot has the only single cabin aboard.
Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Comments: The Valor class missile corvette is a relatively new ship, and only about 200 have been placed in service to date. Few have reached the Spinward Marches station yet; those which have done so currently remain on escort duty with ships in the 2-3 kton range in rear-echelon areas.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]
Vessel Peculiarities: Valors are extremely cramped and are not known for creature comforts. Like the Type S class Scout/Courier, they suffered from inferior air reconditioning and circulation systems and smells tend to linger in the vessel's interior until updated. This has often lent itself to expedient crew work-arounds including large numbers of air fresheners. [4]
Class Naming Practice/s: Valors are typically named for Imperial decorations or for characteristics or heroes noted for admirable martial qualities. [5]
