The | ===Notes:=== | ||
The VALHALLA-class command battle cruiser is a warship | |||
with comparatively limited scientific research capability as | |||
evidenced in a reduced number of laboratories. This is not a | |||
problem as the VALHALLA-class is a ship designed for Fleet coordination | |||
and combat roles. It also contains an aft launch bay for 12 combat | |||
shuttles adding to its strategic and tactical multi-role purpose. | |||
The VALHALLA-class holds 400 Marines and a number of support | |||
vehicles, including 6 dropships. These specially designed | |||
transports are for a rapid deployment of troops for boarding | |||
or planetary activities. | |||
Also incorporated in this design is a point defense system and | |||
a fighter launching system, aft of the ship. | |||
The first ship of this class, the USS VALHALLA, NCC 18000 was launched in | |||
2419 under the command of Captain Cameron Carver. Her sister ship, the | |||
USS VALKYRIE, NCC 18001 was launched early the next year. So far | |||
only four starships of this class have been commissioned by the year 2422. | |||
===='''''Naming:'''''==== | |||
VALHALLA-class command battlecruisers are named for Norse mythical | |||
gods, heroes, events/places, and creatures. | |||

The USS THOR, NCC 18005 was scheduled to be commissioned shortly | |||
