Star Trek: Valiant

Star Trek: Valiant is the third fanfiction Star Trek series. It was created by Runwaygirl20 and ran on Teen UPN (as Teen UPN's first ever series) for seven seasons in the USA. In some areas without local access to UPN, it was offered to independent stations through Paramount Pictures (for its first six seasons). The series is best known for its familial crew, science fiction based plots, engaging action sequences and light humor. The writers often noted that many episodes had underlying themes and messages or were metaphors for current social issues. This is the first Star Trek series to feature a young adults as the crew of the USS Valiant. Additionally, the show gained in popularity for its storylines which frequently featured the Borg, the relationships between Captain Tim Watters and his Chief Medical Officer, Lillian Crusher and Helmsman Riley Shepard and reformed Assistant Chief Engineer, Tina Campanelli. Valiant follows the events of Star Trek: Victory and ran alongside Star Trek: Deep Space 12 during its first five seasons.

Series Summary
Launched in the year 2388, the Defiant-class Federation starship USS Valiant was a ship built to train Starfleet's cadets in battle with alien race that threaten war. It was fitting that the ship's captain, 23-year-old Cadet/Captain Timothy "Tim" Watters, rose up through the science ranks rather than command. On the ship's first mission while departing the space station Deep Space 12, which required it to find and capture a Maquis vessel that disappeared into the treacherous Badlands, the crews of both Valiant, as well as the Maquis ship it was pursuing, were swept clear across the galaxy and deep into the Delta Quadrant. This was the doing of a powerful alien being known as the Caretaker. The 70,000 light year transit cost the lives of over a dozen crew members. Captain Watters was forced to destroy the massive alien array that housed the remains of the Caretaker. In doing so, she saved an alien race, the Inari, but stranded Voyager and the crew in the Delta Quadrant.
