Description:
Valor The Valor class missile corvette is a relatively new ship (1100s), with only about 200 completed
in the first deployment. Few have reached the Spinward Marches yet, and those that have were
assigned to escort duty with ships in the 2 - 3 kton range.
 
The Valor class was designed to operate most efficiently at long range, staying there throughout the
course of the engagement. Its primary weapon is the nuclear missile, which is launched from its four
batteries of triple missile turrets and is highly effective against lightly defended ships. A large supply of
HE missiles is also carried for use particularly against ships equipped with nuclear dampers.

This ship is unusually cramped for an Imperial Navy vessel with very little recreational space but it
does carry 2 persons worth of additional luxury stores which the captain uses for positive reinforcement.
And the captain has a seperate stateroom.

The ship has 4 main sections.  The Bridge on the top forward section and Manuever Deck A is Stern. 
There is an elevator in the center of the main hull for moving missiles to the 4 turrets from the storage
facility.  The engineering deck has 2 missile storage areas midships.
