Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser

The Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser is a capital warship classification in the UNSC Navy. Among the most powerful vessels in the UNSC fleet, one of their primary uses is fleet command and coordination.

Admiral Preston Cole used a Valiant-class ship, UNSC Everest, as his flagship. Over the course of the Human-Covenant War, most notably prior to his last stand at the Battle of Psi Serpentis, Cole made several modifications to the ship's armament and armor.

Design details

Bridge

A super-heavy cruiser possessed a large, cavernous bridge with two dozen bridge stations, used not only to control the ship and its systems, but also to coordinate the activities of the entire battle group. The bridge had massive view screens that stretched from the floor to the ceiling.
