Valkyrie-class

The Valkyrie-classBattlestar Galactica 2004, publication: "Battlestar Galactica: Designing Spaceships". battlestar is a type of warship that was operated by the Colonial FleetBattlestar Galactica 2004, movie: "The Plan".. She is much smaller than the Jupiter-classBattlestar Galactica 2004, movie: "Razor". and is believed to have been used as a light strike and reconnaissance ship. The Valkyrie-class was first deployed during the 1st Cylon WarBattlestar Galactica 2004, movie: "Blood and Chrome". and has proven to be very versatile, with many ships remaining in active service up until the Fall of the Twelve ColoniesBattlestar Galactica 2004, episode: "Hero".. The class spawned at least one significant refit, which boasted a spoiler-like structure on its top-engines. 
==Flight I ==
==Flight II==
At some point before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, an updated design of Valkyrie-class began to be rolled out by Colonial Shipyards. While nearly identical, this version can be distinguished by spoiler-like winglet above the upper engine assembly. While specific of this of this update are not known, it can be assumed that the changes were not only cosmetic, but also internal. 
This update was either relatively new, or unpopular within the Colonial Fleet, as only few of these vessels were spotted during the Fall. Only two of these Flight II battlestars were spotted, both docking at Scorpion Fleet Shipyards during the fall and many of the original Flight Is were not updated to this standard. 
==Known ships==
*Battlestar Valkyrie BSG-41 (Destroyed over Caprica)
*Battlestar Yashuman (Destroyed over Caprica)
*1 Valkyrie-class Flight IWiki Descriptive Term (In the absence of official sources, a Descriptive Term may be used) (Destroyed over Caprica)
*2 Valkyrie-class Flight II (Destroyed at Scorpion Fleet Shipyards)
*5 Valkyrie-class Flight I (Destroyed at Scorpion Fleet Shipyards)
==Behind the scenes==
*Prior Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome it was widely believed that Valkyrie-class is the newest class of battlestars. This was influenced by their relatively small size (mirroring the decrease in size and number of ships by US Navy after the end of the Cold War) and their advanced technology, like battery-fired missiles.
*The Science of Battlestar Galactica names two battlestars that were docked at Scorpion Fleet Shipyards: the Bellerophon and the Ramses. It is worth noting that only three of the battlestars destroyed during the fall of Scorpion Shipyards have yet to be named, which means that either the Ramses or the Bellerophon must be of Valkyrie-class.
