The USS Valiant: Refit Nearly Done, Launch Date Soon

Hello, Troops,
I stopped by Telos U Wednesday after school for a meeting. After parking, I noticed the door into the Valiant Mobile Simulator was open. The Telos Discovery Space Center staff were busy moving chairs in and out. My curiosity got the best of me. It was time for an investigation.

The old Valiant station chairs (above) were gone, sitting outside waiting to learn their fate. The new chairs are similar in appearance with more cushioning and comfort.

The Telos Discovery Space Center team have been busy painting, refurbishing, replacing, cleaning, rewiring, polishing, duct taping, and imagineering. The goal is to get the Valiant spaceworthy for the STEM festival coming up the first week of October.

The Valiant has a new generator powering its more than adequate air conditioner. The bridge is beautiful, looking like it did when the Valiant made its first appearance at Thanksgiving Point all those years ago.

Look for the Valiant at the STEM festival and keep an eye on The Troubadour for news of the Valiant. Once launched, Telos Discovery plans to have the ship busy with both private missions and field trips.

Telos Academy's Jump Carrier Hyperion Simulator is Coming Along With Plans for an End of October Launch

I took these pictures of the Jump Carrier Hyperion a few weeks back. A lot has been done since then. The Hyperion will proudly take her place alongside the finest ships in the Utah Fleet. Several new missions set in the Farpoint Universe are in development which will be unique to the Hyperion.
