The ''Valiant'' entered Rebel service around the time of the [[Battle of Hoth]], and was part of the [[Defiance Task Force]] during the campaign against Admiral Holtz. She continued in service with the task force until the Battle of Endor, but missed the engagement itself due to battle damage sustained in a preliminary skirmish.

The ''Fading Sun'' was built during the early years of the Galactic Empire, following the end of the Clone Wars.

After Endor, the ''Valiant'' returned to service under Captain [[Vansen Tyree]] - a Republic and Imperial veteran - who used his knowledge of the Empire's tactics to lead a hit-and-run campaign against Imperial supply lines, particularly along the Hydian Way. Operations ranged from simple harrassment to the pirating of supplies, and also the destruction of escort craft where necessary.

Command later passed to Colonel [[Leela Vorega]], the former leader of the fighter compliment aboard ''Valiant''. She took charge of the ship during the Liberation of Bothawui, and remained in command after the ship was deployed on a classified assignment to escort [[The Wheel]] - a convoy of Jedi survivors - during which time the ship acted as the base of operations for [[Rogue Squadron]].

More recently, the Wheel has been joined by now-Commodore Tyree aboard the ''[[Challenger]]'', and the ''Valiant'''s role has now changed to that of scout, vanguard, and escort. Rogue Squadron is primarily deployed aboard the ''Challenger'', but the ''Valiant'' is still used should the squadron need to be conveyed elsewhere in the galaxy to conduct a mission - part of the security measures designed to prevent the location of the Wheel from being discovered by the Empire.

An MC40a named ''Valiant'' appeared in the computer game ''X-Wing Alliance''. It is to be assumed that the game version and 'Fans version of this ship are one and the same.
