Valgard was a Federation shuttlecraft in service during the late-23rd century. It was assigned to the USS Enterprise in the 2270s. In 2275, when the Enterprise was drained of power by an energy absorbing lifeform aboard the drifting Romulan space station Reltah, the Valgard was dispatched to recover the landing party. However, Valgard was also drained of power shortly after disembarking the Enterprise, leaving crewmen Jaffe and Corey adrift in the shuttle. During the successful power-up of Enterprise, the Valgard was tractored back aboard. (TOS novel: Shell Game)
