	The ''Valkyrie'' type was deployed alongside a [[Galactica type battlestar\|''Galactica''-type battlestar]] nearly fifty years before the Fall of the Colonies during the First Cylon War. At the time, they appeared to function as a support vessel in battlestar groups, and not as flagships ~~(''[[~~Blood and Chrome~~]]'')~~. In the years since, the type has become a forerunner in the Colonial Fleet, apparently outnumbering the ''Mercury'' class and remaining ''Galactica'' type battlestars. This type of battlestar is among the smallest ships in service in the post-war fleet, carrying fewer Vipers and Raptors than their larger counterparts. Despite this, their crews are not afraid to tackle threats head on, as three of them were seen attempting to engage Cylon basestars over {{RDM\|Caprica}} before fleet communications went down {{TRS\|The Plan}}.

	Although a small hull (compared to battlestars like ''Pegasus'' or ''Galactica'') these ships were heavily used. The type may have served a role similar to cruisers in modern navies, as they are shown being used for a number of missions, including patrols, covert operations, and even planetary protection. The smaller size, mass production, and apparent range of abilities presumably meant that it was perfect for a peacetime fleet, as they would be cheaper to produce than the larger ''Mercury'' class or ''Galactica'' types. The vulnerable FTL drive on the ventral hull suggest that the Valkyrie type was intended for a defensive role with other battlestars and Vipers protecting it, as offensive roles would risk destruction of its FTL drive. They may also have lacked the ability to produce Vipers, unlike the ''Mercury'' class.
