NCC-74210
USS Valiant (NCC-74210) was the third vessel in service of Starfleet to be named Valiant and was the first Defiant Class Valiant. She was originally commanded by Captain Ramirez and assigned as a training ship to Starfleet Academy. It was a project to see how the elite Red Squad cadets would manage the operations of a ship out in the field. However the ship was attacked by the Cardassians in the opening days of the Dominion War. The primary Starfleet crew had been killed and the Red Squad Cadets took over. The ship was later destroyed and lost with all hands in 2374 by a new Dominion battleship due to the arrogant and pompous attitude of its Red Squad crew and mainly the Squad leader, acting Captain Tim Waters. Only three people survived the destruction of the Valiant including at that time Cadet Dorian Collins as well as Ensign Nog and Jake Sisko from Deep Space Nine. All three were rescued by Captain Benjamin Sisko and the crew of the USS Defiant.
