==Specifications==
Despite its designation as a cruiser, the ''Valiant'' also bears similarities to a [[battleship]]{{Ref/Site|Id=spartan games|URL=http://shop.spartangames.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HFUN08|Site=Spartan Games|Page=UNSC Valiant-Class Super Heavy Cruiser|D=03|M=01|Y=2017}} - sacrificing the firepower and armour protection of a full battleship to retain more multi-mission capabilities. In this manner, the ''Valiant'' may sometimes be referred to as a [[battlecruiser]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Operational history==
The ''Valiant''-class super-heavy cruiser was originally drafted by the [[UNSC Navy]] as a compromise between a [[battleship]] and [[Cruiser|heavy cruiser]].<ref name="canon fodder"/><ref name="spartan games"/> However, the class went through years of feasibility studies and redesigns before {{UNSCShip|Valiant}} was commissioned and released from her [[Mars|Martian]] shipyard in [[2493]]. Through ''Valiant'' showed promise during initial testing and evaluation, the high costs and delays in incorporating next-generation [[fusion drive]]s seemingly doomed further manufacturing of the class. Less than two years later, all commissioned ships of the ''Valiant'' class were stricken from the UNSC Navy rolls and partially scrapped. However, the escalating [[Insurrection]] ultimately prevented the ''Valiant'' class from being a mere footnote in Navy history when it was discovered that the [[Colonial Military Administration]] had been infiltrated by [[Insurrectionist]] sympathizers in [[2497]]. Converted into fleet command ships, the ''Valiant'' class was deployed in expeditionary engagements in the Insurrection, using its tonnage and firepower to augment Navy battle groups.<ref name="canon fodder"/>


The command versions featured the same armament, but had increased armor and replace most of the troop and smaller craft areas with specialized and command equipment like [[Slipspace COM launcher|slipspace communication probe launchers]] and umbilicals to unload [[courier]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
[[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] commanded the ''Valiant''-class super-heavy cruiser {{UNSCShip|Everest}} as his [[flagship]], beginning with the [[Battle of Harvest|Battle]] of [[Harvest]] in [[2526]]. Over the course of the [[Human-Covenant War]], most notably prior to his last stand at the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] in [[2543]], Cole made several modifications to the ship's armament and armor.<ref name="armory"/> UNSC ''Valiant'' was later attached to the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]] by the beginning of the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#July|summer 2552]].

==Production notes==
While officially introduced in the short story ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'' and named in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', the ''Valiant''-class was not visually depicted until [[2015]]'s ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'' board game. The cruiser went through multiple revisions before settling on the design seen in canon.
In [[2022]], the ''Valiant'' was featured in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' using renders of the model created by [[:Category:Images by Jared Harris|Jared Harris]] for the ''[[Sins of the Prophets]]'' fan-mod. This was one of the many ''Sins of the Prophets'' ships featured in the book as part of an official collaboration between [[343 Industries]] and the ''Sins of the Prophets'' team.
