Valiant-class Battlecruiser

The Valiant-class battlecruiser is among the select few ships that made their initial visual debut in Halo: Fleet Battles, a tabletop fleet strategy game. Although Fleet Battles was discontinued, we have strived to preserve its unique designs, including the Valiant, within Sins of the Prophets. Our earlier depiction of the Valiant was canonized in the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia. Creating this update gave us the opportunity to bring the design forward in our updated pipeline and provide it with a proper modern facelift.
