Service history and disposition[]
Commander Ruriko Tenmei was a Starfleet Intelligence officer who was assigned to the Valkyrie.
In the year 2369, Starfleet discovered Cren Veruda's Cardassian artificial intelligence entity in the magnetosphere of the Alpha Quadrant planet Uridi'si, and dispatched the Valkyrie to investigate. Tenmei had previously met Veruda. The Borg Collective also detected the AI and opened a transwarp fissure to Uridi'si.
The Valkyrie was attacked by the Borg at Uridi'si, and Starfleet recorded the ship lost with all hands on stardate 46935. The Borg assimilated the Valkyrie.
Serving as a Borg ship, the Valkyrie ended up in the Gamma Quadrant, where it engaged in battle with a Jem'Hadar starship. Both ships crashed on unnamed planet and lay abandoned. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Lesser Evil)
