Class: Olympus Mons class
Affiliation: Navy
The Valles Marineris is a capital ship in the Compact Navy. A formidable command cruiser, the Valles Marineris is equipped with state-of-the-art communications, defensive systems, and command-and-control facilities that make it the nerve center for major naval operations. Its class is believed to be unique or highly limited, designed to coordinate multi-fleet deployments across multiple theaters of conflict.
The ship first appears in Broken Skies, where it serves as the Quentin Austin’s base of operations. While its commanding officer rarely takes part in direct combat, the ship remains a key symbol of Compact naval authority.
Despite sustaining significant damage during the intervening campaigns, the Valles Marineris survives into the events of the Liberation of Amargosa, where it carries both Vice Admiral Eileen Burke and Rear Admiral Austin into action. Though battered, its presence lends critical support and legitimacy to the final push to retake Amargosa.
