Ranger Dulann on the Valen's design aesthetic


The Valen was the first attempt to blend Human and Minbari technology as a joint project developed by the Interstellar Alliance.[1]

The Valen was the first and only ship of its design and did not go into full production.[2]

In 2265, shortly after its completion, the Valen was given over to Anla'shok service and put under the command of Anla'shok Tannier. Its first mission was to transport a number of ISA officials to a conference on Beta Durani VII, with the Liandra assigned as escort.

The ship and the colony were destroyed shortly after exiting hyperspace by the servitors of a race known as The Hand. During the brief firefight, Shok-na Tannier ordered the diplomats to get to the escape pods while he and his crew remained on board, buying enough time for pods to be recovered by the Liandra.

Notes[]

  • It is possible that this ship could have been an early, small-scale test bed for the more ambitious Victory class destroyer.
