The USS Valkyrie is a Sovereign-class exploratory cruiser assigned to the Fourth Fleet Expeditionary Group. The Valkyrie is the eighth in the long history of ships to bear the name. The immediate successor to the Galaxy-class USS Valkyrie lost during the Borg Incursions of the 2360s, the current iteration is fresh out of its year-long refit at Avalon Fleet Yards and is now under the command of Captain Gabriel Jackson.
