The USS Valiant was a 23rd century Federation star cruiser operated by Starfleet. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")
History[]
In 2217, USS Valiant was lost while exploring star cluster NGC 321. The ship made first contact with the principal planet of the Eminiar system, Eminiar VII. While in orbit, the Valiant was warned to leave the system, but was "attacked" and subsequently declared a casualty in the interplanetary war with neighboring Vendikar. The Valiant and the Earth expedition making the report failed to return from its mission. The ship's disposition was listed as "missing in space".
In 2267, on stardate 3192.1, the USS Enterprise was sent on a similar mission, only this time to open diplomatic relations with Eminiar VII. It was at this time that the fate of the Valiant was discovered. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon"; ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II" display graphic)

Background information[]
It should be noted that the designation "star cruiser" was one given by Anan 7 of the Eminian High Council in dialogue and then in reference to the USS Enterprise only. It was therefore assumed that Valiant was likewise designated by his predecessors.
Information from the Star Trek Encyclopedia[]
Apocrypha[]
