==Namesake & Lineage==
Launched Stardate 45703.1 (14 Sep 2368), the Vallejo served under several capable commanders. However, after years of distinguished service, the ship was decommissioned and mothballed in 2396 due to changing fleet requirements and modernization initiatives.
A Valkyrie is a figure in Norse mythology depicted as a warrior woman on horseback, a wolf or boar, and armed with a spear, who decides the fate of warriors in battle and carries the dead to Odin's Valhalla.  


The ''Valkyrie'' joins an impressive lineage of vessels to bear the name, the USS ''Valkyrie'' NCC-74877 (''Sovereign''-class) is a highly versatile exploration vessel widely considered to be one of the most advanced starships in the service of the Federation. The immediate successor to the USS ''Valkyrie'' NCC-74777 ([[Galaxy Class|''Galaxy''-class]]), the current iteration has only been in service for a year and half.

* USS ''Valkyrie'' NCC-1177
In 2401, following the shocking Borg attack during Frontier Day celebrations and the infiltration by Changelings, Starfleet faced a dire need for experienced vessels.  The Borg attack and Changeling infiltration shook Starfleet to its core. Many experienced officers were lost or compromised, and the majority of the fleet suffered damage, leaving a leadership vacuum.

Looking to make a name for themselves in the history of this great name, the crew are fresh from a number of more mundane activities at the turn of the century and have now embarked upon a new mission of exploration, with the ship currently headed towards Epsilon Station and the wilderness that is the ‘Galactic South’, an area ripe for scientific exploration.
The 33-year-old Vallejo was recommissioned after a thorough refit to make her space worthy once again and put back into service, focusing on the Pathfinding Operations of Task Force 47 of the Fourth Fleet, and supporting Task Group 13 in utility functions, supply missions, and diplomatic endeavors throughout the region.  Led by her new Captain, Commander Day Renora, and her untested crew, the Vallejo moves into the sector to begin her assignment. Captain Day is the seventh officer to command the vessel and has a legacy of service to the fleet to live up to.


==Service History==
As a symbol of Starfleet’s commitment to peaceful exploration and cooperation, the Vallejo represents the unyielding pursuit of knowledge, diplomatic relations, and the continual quest for understanding in this universe teeming with wonders.<!--Do not delete the Notable Crew section.

== Configuration ==
Main Article: [https://wiki.bravofleet.com/index.php/California_class California-Class Utility Cruiser]


===Gabriel Jackson's Command===
The ''Vallejo'' employs the standard command variant ''California''-Class configuration used during its production in 2368. One notable exception is decks one and two.  The bridge of the USS Vallejo was heavily modified during her 2401 refit, having lost most of her original first two decks due to damage from a plasma storm. Most components were taken from the USS T'Varra, an early Nebula-Class vessel mothballed at Providence Fleet Yards.


====Return to Service====
Typical of Starfleet vessels of that era, the bridge features a central command seating area featuring chairs for the captain, executive officer, and one other officer as missions dictate. Forward of the command area are found stations for the tactical on the starboard, and science on the port side of the bridge. Forward of those stations are found stations for the conn officer on the starboard, and operations officer on the port side.  
 
====First Deployment====
 
==Physical Configuration==
{{For|article=[[Sovereign Class|''Sovereign''-class exploratory cruiser]]}}
The ''Valkyrie'' is a ''Sovereign''-class exploratory cruiser largely in the stock configuration for the 2400s.
 
With a little over 20 decks, the ship has hundreds of rooms and locations that serve a variety of functions for the crew.
 
===Main Bridge===
[[File:Valkyrie's Bridge by Tadeo D'oria.jpg|frameless|right]]The '''Main Bridge''' was also referred to as Asgard. It served as the epicenter for all command decisions made aboard the ''Valkyrie''. The main bridge design purpose of the ''Valkyrie'' was to be functional and purposeful.
 
Like all Starfleet bridge designs, the captain's chair sat in the center of the bridge, to the right sat the executive officer's chair, and to the left an additional command chair usually reserved by the ship's chief counsellor, chief medical officer, or any official or dignitary the Captain sees fit. All three command chairs are made of a deep maroon textile and are surrounded by a metal handrail that encircles the rear half of the central command area.
 
At the front of the bridge was a wide-angled window that filled the forward bulkhead. This window has holographic projectors built into the rim, allowing it to function as a more traditional viewscreen. It can also be used as an emergency evacuation hatch, with force fields being lowered until replaced by a large, external bulkhead. Directly aft of this were the helm and ops positions. Circling the bridge to the port side was a communications station, science station I and II while on the starboard side were engineering and missions ops I and II. Behind the command circle is the primary tactical and security station. Behind it is the MSD.
 
There are a total of six ways to enter the bridge. Starting on the forward port side, there is a small alcove that holds access to the captain's ready room and also turbolift two. Aft of that is access to turbolift one, on the starboard side was an entrance to a small corridor that led to the observation lounge. On the forward starboard side was access to an emergency turbolift with access to the battle bridge and main engineering it also provided access to a small head.
 
=== Ready Room ===
[[File:Valkyrie's Ready Room.jpg|border|frameless|321x321px|right]]The ''Valkyrie''<nowiki/>'s '''ready room''' was located on the starboard side of the main bridge. The focal point of the room was the wooden desk that featured a work area and access console, located in front of the main entrance door. A shelf beside the main work desk allowed the commanding officer to display personal belongings such as pictures, or personal items.
 
A raised level in the front section of the room featured a small table, a curved couch, and a food replicator. The bulkhead behind the couch featured three large windows facing the starboard side of the ship. An aft-facing door beside the main entrance provided access to a head.
 
=== Observation Lounge ===
[[File:Valkyrie's Observation Lounge.jpg|frameless|right]]Located aft of the bridge, was the '''observation lounge''' aboard the ''Valkyrie''. The lounge serves as a space for the senior staff and other officers to collaborate, celebrate, and make plans for the journey ahead. It connected to the bridge through a short, ramped corridor on the starboard side of the conference lounge. Another door, on the port side of the room, led directly to a turbolift.
 
The shape of the conference table matched the curvature of the exterior hull, set into the surface of the table were holographic projectors for displaying images and data on the surface of the table or holographic LCARS panes projected at respective eye levels. The table was surrounded by ten chairs upholstered in a deep maroon textile which was also located on the bridge.
 
=== Battle Bridge ===
[[File:Valkyrie's Battle Bridge.jpg|frameless|right]]The '''Battle Bridge''' was also referred to as a secondary bridge. It was designed to function as a full bridge when in a tactical situation or during saucer separation. The battle bridge is the secondary hull’s bridge.
 
=== Odin's Palace ===
'''Odin’s Palace''' was the captain’s mess and lounge located on Deck 05 alongside the captain's quarters, the executive officer's quarters, the executive dining room, and the senior officers' quarters. It was never an overpopulated place reserved for the exclusive use of the ship's senior officers and their guests. Odin’s Palace was designed with a warm, comforting feel appropriate for small gatherings.
 
The design of Odin’s Palace took heavy influence from that of Nordic / Scandinavian taverns with decorations tying back to the Viking and Scandinavian culture. Wood furnishing with intentionally chosen retro design elements is meant to invoke a sense of ease and relaxation amongst the denizens of Odin’s Palace. Seating is generous with seats found at the bar, in a central common space, and a handful of tables along the outer walls.
 
=== The Horn ===
 
=== Valhalla ===
'''Valhalla''' is the primary social space of the ''Valkyrie'' and is located on Deck 15. It was the closest to a ‘no ranks’ space aboard the ship, even though that rule does not exist. Instead, Valhalla operates under the assumption that if a senior officer is present, then they are free to be engaged with any member of the crew.
 
The decor chosen for Valhalla was to match that of the Nordic / Scandinavian-style lounge and bar. There was usually some sort of mantle to show off a piece of Viking or Scandinavian culture.
 
It is also a firm rule of Valhalla that the only person aboard a ship who is allowed to declare themselves 'the strongest crewmember' must be the strongest crewmember, as measured by an arm wrestling competition between every worthy opponent. Violators of this rule are refused all service by the wait staff until they have made amends - two mugs of Pale Lager Beer.
 
=== Strategic Operations Center (StratOps) ===
[[File:Valkyrie's StratOps.jpg|frameless|right]]The '''Strategic Operations Center''' or '''StratOps''' is the primary social space of the ''Valkyrie'' and is located on Deck 10. It was installed aboard the Valkyrie at the request of Captain Jackson. The purpose of StratOps was as an information and analysis hub supporting the ''Valkyrie''’s mission objectives. From StratOps, the crew can have an overview of up to three sectors on the holographic interface and can monitor changes and plan operations. This allows ''Valkyrie'' to conduct data gathering and analysis operations across multiple star systems.
 
With the multi-mission nature of the ''Valkyrie'', StratOps sees extensive use as a mission planning center during diplomatic operations with multiple local concerns, such as security or humanitarian support. This provides operational space away from the bridge and allows the command team to conduct strategic analysis.
