The formation of the ] was heavily influenced by the successful deployment of Peregrine-class fighters aboard the starships serving as carriers in the fleet, yet the USS Theurgy did not hold a squadron of Peregrine-class fighter aboard, but the more developed Valkyrie-class.
5 M-142 RF Mass Driver Twin Mount Turrets. 3.3.2 - External Micro Torpedo Launchers. The Mk II Valkyries were the kind of warp fighters that were commissioned to the USS Resolve and the USS Harbinger, among other ships in Starfleet during the end of the 24 th century. Unlike the Peregrine-class, the Valkyrie was intended to be used in small groups, which made it ideal for fighter wing groups. Smaller and more agile, Valkyrie-class fighters were used for a variety of missions. The Valkyrie was intended to replace the ageing fleet of Peregrine-class fighters currently in use throughout the fleet. The original Valkyrie - the Mk I - first appeared as a new warp fighter aboard an experimental Typhon-class carrier. Compared to the Mk I, it included upgrades to the nacelles for faster maximum and emergency warp ratings, improved pulse phasers, and stronger shields. The Mk II - commonly called the Gryphon - was designed for attacking stronger opponents. This was the second iteration of the Valkyrie-class Warp Fighter.
