STRENGTHS:

• “Mobile Command Post” - the Tempest was handcrafted to support a company sized ground unit for very long periods of time without resupply. Its powerful communications systems allow for jam and interference free planet wide communication.
• “High Squadron Count” - the Tempest boasts a massive amount of hangar space which allows it to launch its many smaller craft to land troops, conduct CAS missions or provide escort to the ship.
• “Enlarged Medical Bay” - the Tempest e was designed to support ground operations meaning it has an extra large medical bay to deal with high numbers of casualties.

WEAKNESSES:

• “Ground Ops Focus” - the Tempest was not designed to be a naval warship. Although it is well armed, it will struggle in naval combat without a dedicated escort.
• “High Value Target” - Due to the Tempest being a command ship there is a high chance it will be targeted by enemy commanders.

DESCRIPTION:
Designed specifically for the needs of Orrin Darge and the Valkyries, the MIN Tempest is the definition of a mobile base.

It was built for one purpose: keep a company of elite soldiers in the field indefinitely. Every system aboard serves that purpose. The nine squadron hangar capacity allows for rapid insert, extraction, support and resupply missions without dependence on external assets. The enlarged medical bay can process casualties faster and even handle casualties of other units. The communications suite cuts through interference and jamming with the reliability of a hardwired ground station.

The ship is not a warship by design. Its armament is sufficient to defend itself and deter opportunistic threats but any commander who mistakes the Valkyrie One for a frontline combatant will find the engagement short and unsatisfying. What it lacks in offensive firepower it compensates for in defensive resilience — its shield package, ECM suite and armor composition make it a difficult target to finish quickly, buying time for escorts or extraction.
