The Valkyrie-class was a Federation attack fighter from the 24th century. (Star Trek: Invasion, )

The Valkyrie-class was designed as a replacement for the Peregrine-class fighter designed in the 2360s. It was a superior fighter that made use of advances in technology from the 2370s. It was similarly armed but was faster and more manoeuvrable.

Limited numbers of the Valkyrie were deployed for testing during the Dominion War with groups such as Special Operations Command. (: "The Founder Ploy")
