Description: Similar to the old VTOL assault helicopters of old Earth, the Valkyrie was based on vectored engines to make for perfect landings in the most hostile of environments. A squad-based battlefield asset, the Valkyrie can carry a single unit of GROPOS to the battle, clear out a landing zone with its rapidly-firing pulse cannon, and drop off its detachment of soldiers before taking off to become air support once more.

Many enemy fortifications have fallen to the Valkyrie’s streaming pulse cannon fire, supposedly ‘too weak to be of any use’ – as said by the designer’s first report. While the weapons are not the drawback they originally expected, the lack of armor is. Too many of these craft are shot down by personnel-carried rockets or heavy particle projectors set in anti-air defense mode. It is no wonder that dozens of Valkyries are in constant production at the massive military shipyards at Jericho System, they are in never ending need of replacements.
