SHIP: FEDERATION: HISTORICAL VESSEL:

Valiant, S.S.

Early interstellar vessel that embarked on an exploratory mission in 2065 and was lost when it was swept out of the galaxy, into the energy barrier. Shortly after contact with the barrier, at least one crew member mutated into a godlike being, forcing the ship's captain to order the Valiant destroyed to prevent the escape of the mutated crew member. SEE: barrier, galactic.
