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 deck storage.
