The reason that I chose the name Valkyrie was because I think that it sounds beautiful, and the Valkyrie is designed to reflect this by sleek and aesthetically pleasing. She also incorporates some design aspects of the Sovereign, and she might end up incorporating some of the Prometheus's design aspects into the primary hull, or have a primary hull somewhere between the Nova and Prometheus in hull curvature. I visualize the Valkyrie's dorsal forward hull curves down more gently, like the Sovereign. I have felt for quite some time that the Nova's form would lend well to a warship (which makes sense, given what the Nova's pathfinder was originally designed for).

She also uses the basic form of the Nova class, which I love, because she has an aggressive look to her, but I didn't like the way that the top of the forward hull curves down.

In fact, she is the first ship that I idea of this ship is to combine most of my favorite Star Fleet design elements into one ship. The Valkyrie is an idea that I've had for a long time.
