ESS Valkyria-class Frigate 2019-06-10

Replacing old custom-built starships and re-purposed transports previously used as warships by the Europican Empire, the Valkyria-class was designed and fabricated at Euros Shipyards to act as a long-distance strike and patrol craft. Housing up to 8 active crew at a time with 10 more in deep-sleep cryostatis, the Valkyria was built to keep its distance from enemy ships and strike from afar; a range at which many Europican Colonial Defense Force and other rebel organisations struggle at. While groups of 2 of 3 Valkyrias are usually deployed for patrol in high-risk areas and for supression, their main role in a greater fleet is to provide long-range fire support while larger cruisers and battleships take the brunt of enemy firepower.
