The Valor was a Star Destroyer of the Imperial-class and functioned within the structure of the Imperial Navy.
Admiral Val DeGoort used the Valor as his flagship. Following an event where the Valor crashed into a different star destroyer while carrying out a coordinated-action exercise involving close proximity, DeGoort and his vessel were reassigned to Goroth Prime as a form of "punishment."
The Valor was a component of the Goroth task force, and it was stationed in a constant equatorial orbit around the strategically vital planet. Another Imperial-class Star Destroyer filled the task force's second position, rotating every two months.
Because the ship was permanently stationed on Goroth, a sizable portion of the Valor's TIE fighter contingent was allocated to the planetary garrison. Twenty-four were positioned at Graith, eight at A'Lenba, and another eight were dispersed among other o'bekis.
