Description:
The Valkyries of Astraeus Industrial are the counterpart and mirror image of their brothers the Sons of Titan.
The Valkyries as one might expect by their name are an entirely female military unit. This was partly done because of their purpose, and partly done of where their origins lay. The Valkyries were started by Astraeus, a corporation that lays within the Hapes Cluster, a society dominated entirely by Women. As such, Rebecca Bailey, the head of Astraeus Industrial decided that an all female group would be more advantageous than one that was mixed or all male. As such, the Valkyries are all female.
Species wise, the Valkyries are as diverse as the Sons of Titan. The women among the Valkyries range from Hapans to Twi'leks. There are five hundred Astraeus Valkyries and among them are found Zeltrons, Togruta, Chiss, Hapans, and even Devaronians. All of them however are female.
Valkyries unlike the Sons of Titan do not have a purpose as an entirely Special Forces group. Unlike their brothers, they are not meant as an elite strike force. Though they can function as such, their primary function is instead as a counter intelligence group. They are not used as an army unit to defend or attack positions, instead they are used as single or teams of two, striking at targets in secret or in the dead of night. They are rarely used in direct combat actions and are hardly ever seen on the battlefield. When they are, they fight alone or in teams of two, utilizing their superior training to eliminate small pockets of resistance instead of fighting head on.
When they do appear on the battlefield, it is often at the very end or at the very beginning, leading a charge or manipulating forces into moving forward.
These more military based duties however fall to the wayside compared to the Valkyries true purpose, counter intelligence. They serve as spies and counter spies for Astraeus Industrial. This is why unlike the Sons the Valkyrie do not have a standard armor, instead they are used to walking around in plain clothes or in disguises. Valkyries usually work alone or in teams of two, gathering information, kidnapping people in secret, or running down informants. Valkyries serve a much more intuitive function this way.
Like their Brothers the Sons of Titan Valkyrires undergo an almost ludicrous amount of training.
From their induction in the Valkyries their training is harsh and upfront. They face nearly the same physical challenges as the Sons of Titan. Much like the Sons the Valkyries carry no special genetic, cybernetic, or biological enhancements. They are simple females of their species that have been trained to their peak. This Training is incredibly hard and harsh, with the failure rate of the Valkyries actually being higher than the drop out rate for the Sons of Titan. The Valkyries also gain more mental training and education, they could generally be said to be 'smarter' than their male counterparts.
The Valkyries much like their Brother's are completely and entirely brainwashed to serve Astraeus Industrial and Alric Kuhn.
Like the Sons of Titan the Valkyries have incredibly loose morals. They do not care about torture, murder, kidnapping, or even genocide. To them it is simply part of the job. Some of them may not like certain things like the murder of children or the killing of innocents, but in the end The Valkyries will always do as they must in order to fulfill their jobs.
The Valkyries of Astraeus Industrial are professionals through and through, serving as a means to expand Astraeus knowledge base and further the companies interests.
