TSS Taylor

The TSS Taylor is the first Danube-Class starship built by and operated by Spacefleet.

Background
The TSS Interceptor was commissioned 1 year before the Shcnavic War, and the launch of the RWI Apollo, and came into service 6 months before the Green Drone War. The Valiant was commanded by Captain [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Jonathon_Hunter Jonathan Hunter] and his two senior officers, Commander Lock and Commander [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Reed Reed].

The Valiant assisted the Colony crew in their evacuation after attacking the Green Drone Ground HQ. Soon after, Hunter made the team officially part of RWI and deployed them to [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Ravcor Ravcor], where they infiltrated a Green Drone Base and recovered [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/The_Artifact The Artifact]. They escaped but sustained serious damage. After making repairs amidst multiple attacks by Green Drone forces, they were joined by 2 [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Crazy_North_Logistics CNL] frigates, where they repelled the remaining attackers, however Captain Hunter was seriously injured, leaving [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Jack_Roberts Jack Roberts] to take command. They located a transmitter at the edge of the system, where after fending off multiple [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/GDA_Destroyer GDA destroyers], were able to use the transmitter to contact reinforcements. The [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/RWI_Discovery RWI Discovery] jumped into the system and provided much-needed cover fire, and once the battle was over, took possession of The Artifact. The Valiant then provided fire support and covered Discovery's retreat as she jumped away, sustaining critical damage. In a last-ditch attempt to break the GDA's lines, [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/Jack_Roberts Jack Roberts] ordered a crash course into the nearest GDA destroyer, causing the presumed destruction of the Destroyer, but also caused the Valiant to be caught in the gravity well of the nearby ice planet, of which she could not escape.

The Valiant crashed into the surface of the ice planet while covering the retreat of the [./https://colony-universe.fandom.com/wiki/RWI_Discovery RWI Discovery] and was turned into a makeshift camp for the Eclipse crew. After several attacks by GDA carriers, she was eventually scuttled and exploded after taking too much damage. The remaining debris was left on the planet.
