It's from a game and was created by the art guys producing the game. It was never in any movie and I don't know what that line means about it being in Insurrection. Most likely a typo. They meant the title of the game more likely than not.
Actually, after i re-read it, it says that the Valkyrie 1 appeared in Insurrection. Maybe the Valkyrie 1 is supposed to be the scout ship that Data stole.

There was an article about the game in a recent issue of the ST Magazine. They said that they used Data's scout ship as a starting point for the design of the Valkyrie fighters. I think that this got rather garbled by whomever wrote the above copy.

From Venture (Armada) to Valkyrie. I guess this is suppose to be the Valkyrie-II. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few people now insists that the scout ship is Valkyrie-class.
I'm reminded of Cargile's Banzai-class fighter, anyone remember that? It's a pretty cool design. BTW, what happened to him anyway?

In the most recent issue of ST: The Magazine there is an article about this ship and where it comes from: The Valkyrie was designed for the upcoming PlayStation game ST:Invasion. In this game, you are the pilot of one of these fighters. based on a starship named the USS Typhon. The Typhon is a prototype for a new class of starship that serve as dedicated fighter carriers, something IMHO that Starfleet has needed for years.A contemporary of the USS Defiant, the Typhon is designed to go into a fight, take a licking and keep on ticking. It has a "fortress mode" it engages when it goes into battle.
The game designers adopted elements of the scoutship, shuttlecraft and captain's yacht from INSURRECTION when designing the Valkyrie fighter. Personally I think it would be a great replacement for Starfleet's aging fleet of Peregrine fighters.
