Design

Based on a research project found after the fall of the Principality of Belka in the late 2180s and early 2190s, the Valkyrie class is designed around the Belkan idea of "Bigger is better" making it the largest purpose-built carrier known. Featuring high angles and a sleek look, the Valkyrie possesses a low RCS for a large capital ship similar to the technology used by IKN Ikon.

Accompanying her large flight deck, the Valkyrie class possesses four Northwind Heavy Industries Electromagnetic Naval Launch System (EMNLS) Catapults. The EMNLS allows the launch of heavy aircraft in a very short length of the deck, freeing more of the deck for recovery and storage of aircraft.

Development

With the Victory of the Atreian Alliance all but assured in the early 2190's, the Department of the Navy ordered research into a possible new Supercarrier to bolster the Atreian Navy's power projection capability in and around the Tau Sea. Discovering a Belkan Navy concept design dating from the 2170's, the Atreian Navy alongside Kolburg Shipyards commissioned another study in the feasibility of creating such a massive carrier.

With blueprints completed by 2194, the Atreian Navy under orders from the monarchy commissioned Northwind Heavy Industries alongside Kolburg Shipyards the first of the Valkyrie-class which was only finished and launched on March 27th, 2196 and joining the fleet only slightly less than 2 months later on May 8th, 2196.

Service History

The First Valkyrie Class was commissioned on May 8th, 2196 becoming the flagship of the Atreian Navy's 1st Fleet. Transferring ANS Ella II to the 2nd Fleet.
