Valkyrie-class Battleship

Valkerie-class Battleship

The Valkerie-class Battleship was the only battleship used during the early years of the Human-Covenant War by the UNSC. Its main claim to glory was its experimental Heavy Magnetic Accelerator Cannons. Though they used the same ammunition as those mounted on the Marathon-class Cruisers, they are only 80% as efficient. The ship's arnament was, at that time, the strongest in the UNSC. This arnament makes up for the Valkerie's small complement. Of the seventeen ships built, four were constructed and active at the beginning of the Human-Covenant War. The next thirteen were built through 2535, and the last remaining Valkerie-class was decommisioned in 2541 to make way for the more agile cruisers.
