During the [[Sontaran invasion of Earth]] in [[2009]], [[Colonel Mace]] called in the ''Valiant'', which was referred to by the call-sign "[[Hawk Major]]". The ship's powerful turbines were used to clear the Sontarans' poisonous fog-like gas from the [[ATMOS factory]] and the [[Jathaa sunglider laser]] fitted to the ship was used to blast apart the factory, killing many [[Sontaran]]s.

The ''Valiant'' was targeted when the [[New Dalek Empire]] [[21st century Dalek invasion|attacked Earth]] following the planet's transportation to the [[Medusa Cascade]]. A massive force of [[Dalek]]s swarmed the ship, taking out its [[Force field|shields]]. The order was given to abandon ship, and [[Jack Harkness]] reported that the ''Valiant'' was "down".

During {{Gomez}}-initiated [[Cyberman]] [[3W Institute Affair|attack]] on Earth, the Twelfth Doctor asked whether he was being taken to the ''Valiant'' (mistakenly referring to the craft as "[[Cloudbase]]"), but [[Kate Stewart]] told him that doing so would be too obvious and too easy of a target. He was instead taken to an aircraft designated as [[Boat One]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') | |||

* According to [[Tardis:Valid sources|non-narrative]] information in [[DWBIT 59|''DWBIT'' 59]], when the Earth was moved to the Medusa Cascade the ''Valiant'' took heavy damage from the Daleks. When it was forced over heavily populated areas, the decision was taken to land on empty farmland, avoiding a further loss of life. However, the attack still continued. | * According to [[Tardis:Valid sources|non-narrative]] information in [[DWBIT 59|''DWBIT'' 59]], when the Earth was moved to the Medusa Cascade the ''Valiant'' took heavy damage from the Daleks.
