ValkyrieBike

The Valkyrie is a nimble hover bike used by the Arm of Orion and its ally the Orion's Spear.

Description[]

First deployed in the days following the Outer Rim War, the Valkyrie's various weapons, agile, lightly, armored frame and powerful hover engines make it well suited for scouting or short, sharp assaults on enemy positions.

It is equipped with a belly-mounted rotary machine gun and a rapid-firing missile launcher, and features a jump jet capable of reaching altitudes well over twenty feet. It also features a turbo boost to get into or out of a battle quickly. Additionally, a daring pilot can use the Valkyrie's jump jet or turbo boost to run over enemy infantry.

Gameplay[]

The Valkyrie hover bike is most suited to lightning-fast raids and light skirmishing; its speed and powerful weaponry allow it to operate in a "hunter-seeker" fashion wherein it constantly prowls the battlefield searching for weaker "prey" like isolated groups of infantry or turrets. It can also use its mobility and firepower for a more defensive support role, such as defending heavier and slower vehicles and static strongpoints from enemy hover bikes or particularly cunning infantry attempting to close distances and outflank them.

However, the fragile Valkyrie cannot withstand as much damage as a mech or tank and should not be used by inexperienced players for direct frontline assaults.

The Valkyrie can be purchased for only 100 requisition points.
