RWI Valiant

The RWI Valiant is the fifth Daedalus-class Battleship built by RWI (Red Wood Industries).

Background
The RWI Valiant was commissioned 1 year after the launch of the RWI Apollo, and came into service 6 months before the Green Drone War. The Valiant was commanded by Captain Jonathan Hunter and his two senior officers, Commander Chris Lock and Commander Sam Reed.

Campaign on an Unidentified Earth-like Planet
The Valiant and its fleet were near an unidentified Earth-like planet when the Green Drone War began, and many of its support ships were destroyed or cut off from the Valiant, but a distress signal sent by the crashing RWI Intrepid. The Valiant then moved into the system and assisted the Colonist Survivors led by ex-RWI Captain Jack Roberts in their evacuation after attacking the GDA (Green Drone Armada) HQ.

Battle of Ravcor
Soon after the Battle of the Orion System, Captain Hunter made the team officially part of RWI and deployed them to Ravcor, where they infiltrated a Green Drone base and recovered the Artifact. They escaped but the Valiant sustained serious damage during the battle, and Captain Hunter was badly injured and Commander Lock was killed, leaving Captain Roberts to take command of the ship.

Battle of Demus
After making repairs amidst multiple attacks by Green Drone forces, they were joined by two CNL (Crazy North Logistics) frigates, where they repelled the remaining attackers. They located a transmitter at the edge of the system, where after fending off multiple GDA destroyers, were able to use the transmitter to contact reinforcements. The RWI Discovery jumped into the system and provided the Valiant much-needed cover fire, and once the battle was over, the Valiant was evacuated by Roberts, and both Hunter and the Artifact were transferred aboard with the Valiant 's remaining crew.

When the GDA attacked again, the Valiant then provided fire support and covered Discovery 's retreat as it jumped away to Icarus, RWI's capital world. In a last-ditch attempt to break the GDA's lines, Roberts ordered a ramming attack on the nearest GDA destroyer, causing the destruction of the destroyer, but also causing the Valiant to be caught in the gravity well of the nearby ice planet Demus, of which it could not escape due to its engines being offline and heavily damaged.

Post-Crash
The Valiant crashed into the surface of Demus but was quickly located by the crew of Roberts' ship, the RWI Eclipse, who landed outside and rescued Roberts and the skeleton crew he took aboard during the battle. They used the Valiant 's wreckage to build Outpost Valiant, a makeshift camp for the crew. However, after several attacks by GDA Scourge-class Carriers, the battleship's wreckage and the outpost was eventually abandoned. The Valiant 's self-destruct countdown was triggered and the and exploded to destroy any RWI data aboard the ship's computers. The remaining debris was left on the planet.
