"Character is forged not on the mountaintop but in the valley”. — Mike MathenyUSS Valley Forge NCC-43305 is an Excelsior II-class Federation starship currently assigned to Fourth Fleet's Task Force 72. She is currently under the command of Captain Samantha Hyland.
An Excelsior II - class Heavy Cruiser, the USS Valley Forge was the third - last Excelsior spaceframe to undergo the refit and modernization process to upgrade this dependable Starfleet workhorse to be able to support the Diplomatic mission of Task Force 72 into the 25th Century and beyond. Nominally deployed to patrol and support duties along the former Cardassian Demilitarized Zone, the operations that the Valley Forge engages in may not be the most glamourous, but her missions are amongst the most vital in supporting the United Federation of Planets during the years that are proving to be some of the most challenging in its entire history.
