The Valkyrie is based on an aerowing design, which is suitable for
limited atmospheric flight. The smoothed aerowing surface encases the twin warp
nacelles and impulse engines. The cockpit incorporates features similar to a
standard Starfleet shuttlecraft, with additional mission specific equipment,
and the incorporation of a manual steering column. The cockpit also
incorporates an Emergency Transporter system for the flight crew.
The two-man crew is composed of a pilot and gunner station, both
working in tandem to maximize the Valkyrie’s systems. The flight suits the crew
wears provide reserve life-support functions, and there has been no
accommodations made for crew relaxation or rest outside of their flight seats.
The Valkyrie is small enough to operate from a standard Starfleet shuttlebay,
and it can also dock using the ventral docking port, which also serves as the
crews’ primary hatch.
The escape pod is incorporated into the forward fuselage/cockpit
and is designed to separate from the engineering section of the fighter. In
case of catastrophic damage the crew can eject the forward 1/3 of the Valkyrie
and get clear of the explosion. In this mode, the cockpit can serve as a
standard Starfleet escape pod, complete with reentry capabilities and an encoded
subspace distress beacon. The Valkyrie also features a low-powered tractor beam
system. This allows the Valkyrie to be used to retrieve escape pods, cargo, and
allows it to tow other fighters back to the base of operations.
The Valkyrie is built around the Two Type U+ Pulse Phaser Cannons,
which are considered its primary weapon system. Two conventional Type V Phaser
arrays have been incorporated along the Valkyrie’s dorsal and ventral spine as
defensive weapons. The Type V Phasers are also intended to deter pursing
spacecraft, and when an experienced pilot/gunner team utilizes the Valkyrie’s
capabilities they can be used to herd enemies into firing position.
The Valkyrie’s close-range weaponry has been augmented by the
addition of two-microtorpedo launchers. These are utilized during short-range
strafing attacks, and when the Valkyrie is utilized to support Starfleet ground
units and a photon torpedo strike would endanger friendly and enemy units
alike.

The Wraith Class of fighters measures just over 16m in length, and
10m in width- making it around a similar size to a type-11 shuttlecraft.
Therefore, it is small enough to be carried on most ships, can enter a standard
Starfleet shuttlebay, although it does have the capability to dock via the
ventral docking hatch- which is a feature shared with the Valkyrie space
superiority fighter.
Also, like the Valkyrie, the Wraith’s aerowing design allows it to
enter atmospheres for limited periods. This, combined with the sensor
capabilities of the Wraith, makes it an invaluable scouting unit- ideally
suited to planetary surveys, or covert missions where use of a starship would
be considered too great a risk. The nacelles and impulse engines are encased in
the space frame of the ship, with a cockpit based on that of a type-9
shuttlecraft, although it can only seat one person.
What makes the Wraith Class such an invaluable design is the
inclusion of a high-powered sensor array, allowing it to carry out tasks that
would normally prove difficult for a shuttlecraft or runabout. As with any
major benefit, this comes at a price. On the Wraith, some of the battlefield
weaponry and armour has been sacrificed to accommodate slightly longer warp
endurance and higher speeds at impulse.
The craft also features basic crew facilities, such as a bunk for
rest, and a head. These features were incorporated to allow the crew to be away
from their support vessel for up to several days at a time.
