Strike Force Valkyrie was the secondary strike force involved in Operation Back Lash. It was comprised of the TCS Tarawa, TCS Intrepid, and TCS Kagimasha. Overall command was given to Commodore Thaddeus O’Brian, however he was killed in the action and command fell to the Wing Commander of the Tarawa, Lt. Commander Jason "Bear" Bondarevsky.

The strike force destroyed six carriers under construction, a cruiser production facility, an orbital station, dozens of fighters and a team of the best Kilrathi minds visiting the second moon of Kilrah during the raid. The mission ended with Tarawa being rescued by TCS Concordia and withdrawing to Terran controlled space.

Only TCS Tarawa survived the raid and had the unique distinction of having "First to Kilrah" painted on her side as a result.
