[b]Name:[/b] Starburst Valkyries Corp. [b]Flag:[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ug4T8y1.jpg?4[/img] [b]Brief Description:[/b] A mercenary company made up entirely of those of the female sex, whether they were originally female or not doesn’t matter as long as they are female now. The company prides itself on professionalism, and its willingness to do whatever the job requires no matter what efforts it would require. [b]Claim:[/b] Valkyrie Station: The Main Space Station hub for the Starburst Valkyrie Corporation. Hades Void Prison: A privately owned space prison ran and owned by the Starburst Valkyries. Kevos 2 Research Station: A desolate Ice planet, the Research station is built into the side of a mountain, the area being chosen for the volatile weapons research taking place there so that if something goes awry there will be no damage to a local populace since it does not have one. [b]Government:[/b] The current leadership is made up of different department heads, each of whom makes up a board of directors that ultimately decide the course of the company, what jobs they accept, and who they work for. [b]History:[/b] The Corporation was formed one hundred and twelve years ago by women displaced after their military service, they felt that an all female mercenary group would garner a certain standard of publicity, which it did. Being rather successful they went on to grow larger and larger, purchasing a small fleet of freighters. This worked well for them as it allowed to do the jobs they needed in order to gather the funds to continue to increase their workability in the galaxy. As their funds grew, so did their quality of equipment, troops, and even gained them new ships. Soon enough they were a Mercenary company capable of travelling anywhere in the known Galaxy, and with this ability came even more funds, which brought them to purchasing a space station which they could operate from, capable of docking their new fleet of frigates. This money also allowed them to work on a new venture, they funneled incredible amounts of funds into a custom built space station that would be utilized as a prison that would take infamous, political, and other types of prisoners from nations that didn’t want to execute or keep said people imprisoned themselves, it was also a place where the company kept many of its prisoners from combat missions. These prisoners tended to disappear eventually though, and seldom any reason was given, most theories are that it was due to being sold into slavery, or used in experimentation by the Corporation itself. [b]Military:[/b] The Military is made up of several different branches, though they all ultimately answer to the Board of Directors. [i]Infantry Weapons[/i] Ranged Energy Weapons: The ranged energy weapons are that of a top quality, the Starburst Valkyrie Corporation now developing, and manufacturing their own weaponry after having gained a rather large manufacturing ability, and a sizeable R&D team that works on such things. These weapons utilize powerful energy cells that focus said energy into Energized Melee Weaponry: Energized melee weaponry comes as a standard or collapsable hand to hand combat weapon such as swords, batons, and maces. These weapons come with their edges, and areas used for striking to be powered by energy to make a more powerful blunt attack, or cut. Ballistic Weaponry: Whether small arms, or mounted, ballistic weapons are made with a similar method of propulsion all around, magnetic rails. Rail weaponry is the mainstay of ballistics for the Valkyries, and it has not failed them yet. Missiles: the Valkyrie Corporation has obtained an impressive variety of missiles, whether they are used planetside or in space, they are versatile and useful in many situations. [i]Troop Types[/i] [hider=Reprogrammed partial cybernetic trooper][img]https://i.imgur.com/aVzTiYJ.jpg?1[/img] These soldiers are typically captives from past missions, deserts, and slaves purchased from traders. They’re fitted with a brain implant that makes them completely subservient to a controller, their bodies are typically modified with firearms, and other weapons, and are given partial armors. They are also experimented on and typically have some sort of experimental tech implanted on their bodies to keep from having to test it on loyal soldiers.[/hider] [hider=Standard Ground Trooper][img]https://i.imgur.com/uSe3X1q.jpg?1[/img] The Standard trooper wears a set of powered armor, complete with magnetic holsters for their side arm, carbine, or rifle. They also have a series of energized daggers, or short swords. This armor is capable of distributing the the impact of ballistic weapons, and explosions to a certain degree. The armor also contains a certain amount of reflective capability to lessen the damage of energy weapons against it. The armor also has a powered arm attached to the back of suit that works as a helping hand when carrying ammunition boxes, steadying heavy weapons, or even carrying inured comrades. These troops are typically deployed via drop pods, aerial transports, and APCs[/hider] [hider=Void Jump Trooper][img]https://i.imgur.com/I4etkcH.jpg?1[/img] Void Jump Troopers are specialized troops that wear a lighter armor, and jump pack. They are used for quick assaults, scouting, and void combat. They are typically armed with a carbine, or SMG, and a energized sword.[/hider] [hider=Valkyrie Law Enforcement Officer][img]https://i.imgur.com/IkMez4E.jpg?1[/img] The Valkyrie Police are a mercenary police force capable of being hired by private companies, or even nations who are lacking in a proper law enforcement in certain places. Typically utilized on colonies where a police force would be difficult to build, or where crime is incredibly prevalent and the local police cannot handle it. They are normally equipped with a simple ballistic armor, and energy pistol, and energy baton of the stun variety.[/hider] [hider=Riot Valkyrie Police][img]https://i.imgur.com/kRcl6a1.jpg?1[/img] The Valkyrie Riot police are similar to the Standard law enforcement officer, and are typically simply a standard officer in riot gear, this includes a riot shield, heavier armor, side arm, stun gun, and energy baton. These are also the same type of officers use in the Valkyrie’s Hade Space Prison.[/hider] [i]Mechanized[/i] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/aYkBsyr.jpg?1[/img][/center] [hider=Scout Rider][img]https://i.imgur.com/X2G8AOV.jpg?1[/img] Scout riders are troops outfitted in a armor similar to that of a jump troop but given a single person hover vehicle. They typically perform scouting missions and are outfitted with a side arm, a light automatic weapon, and the small energy cannon mounted inside the vehicle. The Law Enforcement wing also takes advantage of the single person hover vehicles.[/hider] [hider=All Terrain Hover IFV MK46][img]https://i.imgur.com/BANY4N0.jpg?1[/img] The MK46 is a all terrain Hover IFV, and it carries an interchangeable rail cannon, or energy cannon depending on the needs for the mission, as well as a rocket pod capable of firing up to twenty rockets every 30 seconds. The IFV is armored, albeit a bit lightly, but it’s speed and agility make it a hard target to hit on the battlefield and capable of carrying up to 20 troops inside, albeit they are cramped.[/hider] [hider=All Terrain Hover Tank X4006][img]https://i.imgur.com/aHHiEjC.jpg?1[/img] The x4006 is an incredibly powerful tank, it’s thick armor, and sports and awesome assortment of cannons easily changed out for situational needs. The impact of this vehicle is moreso when you consider the anti-infantry aspect of the heavy automatic weapon it sports on its topside. The tank only requires a minimum of two people, one to pilot the inside, and one to aim and fire the cannons. Though typically they go in crews of three with another manning the automatic hull weapon.[/hider] [hider=KV22 Ravagar Bipedal Assault Mech][img]https://i.imgur.com/r1dYI0l.jpg?1[/img] The KV22 Ravager is an assault mech, with heavy plating, and reflective surfaces it is an enduring beast of military equipment, and to go along with this they are armed to the teeth. The Ravager sports a single energy edged blade on its left arm, an automatic weapon either ballistic or energy as well on its left arm, on the right arm it sports a gauss rifle, as well as a fist with rather dextrous fingers. On it’s shoulders it sports a smoke launcher, shuttered spotlight, and rocket pod capable of firing up to four rockets. [/hider] [hider=UMF Command Mech][img]https://i.imgur.com/c1X0Vd6.jpg?1[/img] The command mech is a mass six legged vehicle with plenty of space on the inside for battlefield commanders to watch over combat, and give orders out as needed for the best plans of strategy.

They carry a multitude of powerful weapons,a nd can host up to thirty troops.[/hider] [i]Navy[/i] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/bGrHs0M.jpg?1[/img][/center] [hider=Ragnarok Starfighter][img]https://i.imgur.com/eRGFjTn.jpg?1[/img] While not an incredibly fast starfighter, it makes up for its lack in speed in its heavy armor and powerful weaponry, sporting several energy cannons, in dog fights it takes a beating and keeps dishing out destruction in return. These ships require only one pilot, and typically carry a single energy bomb, or a single missile used for attacking larger ships.[/hider] [hider=Longship Troop Transport][img]https://i.imgur.com/Etnvqzc.jpg?1[/img] The Longship troop transport is just as it says, a troop transport, heavily armored, though lightly armored sporting only a few blaster cannons on it’s immense hull, these ships can carry up to a thousand troops a piece, and are capable of performing boarding actions on larger vessels, though they are typically used for transporting troops planetside.[/hider] [hider=Valkyrie Freja Frigate][img]https://i.imgur.com/MtdFbQg.jpg?1[/img] The Freja frigate is a strong vessel, they typically accompany a series of troop transports guarding them as they make their way to their appointed destinations. With powerful cannons, and multiple energy weapon turrets it’s a hard hitter in combat, with heavy armor to boot.[/hider] [hider=Mjolnir Cannon][img]https://i.imgur.com/s82YzhQ.jpg?1[/img] The Mjolnir Cannon is roughly the size of a frigate, it was made to be manned by a crew of five, and using advanced VIs to perform tasks the crew is unable to. The Ship is essentially just a large cannon, they were manufactured due to the company’s lack of dreadnoughts or capital ships, so that they could actually take the battle to the enemy in a way when needed.[/hider] [hider=Hades Void Prison][img]https://i.imgur.com/l1N9kS0.jpg?1[/img] The Hades Void Prison is a rather large space station, it lacks any sort of propulsion system, but has multiple openings to vent cells, and entire cell blocks if necessary. The entire station is lacking in terms of escape pods, and the only ships allowed to dock with it are Frigates of the Valkyrie Company itself, and they are not allowed to dock more than two hours at a time with either depositing inmates, new guards, or much needed food stuffs. It is in this place that the Company keeps their POWs, and any prisoners other nations might want to disappear without killing or keeping somewhere secret themselves, and while this does cost a annual fee to keep the prisoner it is well worth it considering the hidden nature of the Prison’s whereabouts.[/hider] [hider=Valkyrie Station][img]https://i.imgur.com/ztjzog6.jpg?1[/img] Valkyrie Station is the headquarters for the Starburst Valkyries, it is an enormous station that the Company bought long again, and renovated it. It has been made to have hold massive amounts of fuel, an enormous training facility, barracks, multiple businesses, and even a red light district. The Station itself is mobile so that if there is a danger it can move to avoid that danger. [/hider] [i]Air Force[/i] [hider=Veorfolnir Combat Jet][img]https://i.imgur.com/UdhsjxO.jpg?1[/img] The Veorfolnir is an excellent fighting jet, with incredible speed, and 360 degree turning energy turret, and target locking missiles makes it a deadly force in the air. Though it is lightly armored.[/hider] [hider=Sleipnir Transport VTOL][img]https://i.imgur.com/HbN3yFT.jpg?1[/img] The Sleipnir Transport VTOL is a fairly average transport densely armored but lacking weaponry it can usually carry troops to the front of any warzone, and release its max payload of twenty troops.[/hider] [b]Religion/Culture:[/b] It’s a mercenary corporation, they tend to be have an aggressive, yet professional culture, there is a pride in their work, and they take whatever they are tasked with seriously. Though the Corporation is made up only of women in every field possible, they are not sexist in the idea that they dislike men or think they are inferior, the Corporation uses this as a marketing ploy, and personal preference. The thought behind it being that why hire skilled and deadly men, when you can hire skilled and deadly women and have some eye candy at the same time.
