CSA Valhalla

Description: Escort and combat ship.

Background: The original Valhalla was destroyed during the attack upon Delphi. Following the deployment of the CSA Darktower, a need was seen for additional escort-class ships, and the Valhalla was built to fill this need. It is interesting to note that although the class is named 'Valhalla', she was actually the third such vessel built. She relieved the Arcadia from Deneb defense.
