Valkyrie
Anya's armed freighter of Theseus
A sturdy little freighter, owned by Anya and currently operated by her and the three Terrans she recruited during the THM raid.
The Valkyrie has been stripped down to the bare hull and built back up at least once, has had most of her original armor replaced, has had her internal structures strengthened on multiple occasions to meet more extreme mission requirements, and has undergone enough modification and personalization by Anya's hand, to hardly qualify as the same ship she was when she left the assembly line - treat every system as an aftermarket custom contraption unless stated otherwise.
2 variable-yield kinetic accelerators (main atmospheric armament; secondary space armament)
Single rack of anti-ship missiles in the cargo bay (last resort emergency armament)
Cutting-edge ultra-high-density phased array laser PD grid (high-performance light PD)
Narrow-view high-powered active sensor suite (target analysis sensors)
Task force level tactical network hosting suite (dynamic comms-integrated tacnet)
Standard intra-system comms array (basic comms)
3 independent microfusion reactors with high-durability battery arrays (separate reserve power grid)
2 high-performance primary drives (main propulsion; forward thrust only)
Hybrid suite of high-precision gravitic and high-performance conventional thrust arrays (maneuvering thrusters)
Passive EM stealth enabled outer plating
High-capacity internal heatsinks
Emission-screening hull
Capable of atmospheric flight; can run CAS and fulfil dropship duties
Very potent point defence; highly effective at dealing with enemy ordnance
Not designed for frontal combat; falls short against purpose-built warships
Aftermarket design; sourcing replacement parts is never easy

Strengths and weaknesses
Mid-level stealthy and very harmless-looking; can easily go unnoticedCapable of atmospheric flight; can run CAS and fulfil dropship duties
Very potent point defence; highly effective at dealing with enemy ordnance
Not designed for frontal combat; falls short against purpose-built warships
Aftermarket design; sourcing replacement parts is never easy
