Design
The backbone of the Clone wars, the Venator was both carrier and battleship. As new designs came about such as the Victory and Imperator, many commander looked for a way to modernize the Venators. Twelve Venator hulls were modernized and rebuilt creating the ships of the Valiant Class. Meant to be more battleship and less carrier the troop capacity and massive hanger was turned into capacitor compartments for more weapons and shielding. Armor was re-enforced slowing the acceleration and speed of the vessel.The dorsal sliding bay doors were removed being replaces with armor and two weapons emplacements each with a quad Heavy turbolaser turrets, two double turbolaser Cannons and four Ion Cannons. and a prow forward bay was created for larger craft and corvettes. The Amidships Ventral bay was also removed making was for a large ventral weapons emplacement including a Quad Heavy turbolaser turret, four double turbolaser Cannons, and four Ion Cannons. Another large weapons emplacement was on the fore edge of the superstructure. It house a quad heavy turbolaser turret, and six ion cannons. Flanking the superstructure three double Heavy Turbolaser Cannons were place on dorsal hull towards the aft of the ship. two Double turbolaser Cannons cover the rear of the ship each one flanking the rear of the super structure Two large secondary hangers were build flanking the superstructure on both sides. These housed the fighter wing and transports leaving the forward bay as a holding area for larger barges and visiting craft.
History
The Valiant class were built in an attempt to reuse the Venator ships after the clone wars. Many of these ships were not commissioned and sold to third parties as scrap. Four were commissioned at the request of general Dodonna and sold to the Commenor defense fleet. Sometime before the order to assimilate all defense fleets into the Imperial fleet these ships were sold as scrape and the paperwork lost. In reality they had been given to Dodonna to hide in case Commenor needed them at a later time. As the Empire took a hold of the galaxy Dodonna and others worked on the ground work for what was to become the Alliance to restore the Republic. These four ships were seldom seen or used. Dodonna choosing to hold them in reserve rather than take them against the new Imperial destroyers. After Endor these ships remain in reserve service hidden by Dodonna after Hoth. Recently the location of the ships as well as the custodians protecting them has been provided to fleet command.
