Strengths:
- Vibroblade: Allowed for the user to attack quickly in close quarters.

- Body Glove: Regulated body temperature and conditions sending info to the HUD.
- Backpack: Allowed for the user to hold more equipment such as ammo, and other such equipment that would be needed for special assignments.
- Sitting: Due to its design it was almost impossible to sit down in, or at least hurt a lot.
- Moving: Due to its size it required heavy set people to carry it around and at a slower pace.
- Removing: Equipping and removing this armor was a long process due to the many pieces set in place to secure it during combat.
- Heavy: Required Heavy Set people to wear it due to its weight.
- Agility: Greatly decreased the agility in the user due to its weight and the awkward points in the armor that made it harder to make even the most simple acrobatic moves.
After taking the company from the founder Bear Mylls, Felix Hardy decided to create a Heavy Armor for troops in the galaxy, he biased his design after the infamous Katarn-class armor from the Clone commandos during the Clone wars. He was inspired to make this after hearing of a battle which the use of heavy armor would have won the battle.
Most of the ideas of the design coming from the Katarn allowed for him to make some small adjustments. The full body glove was not implemented in the Katarn but in the Valkyrie it provided the user with more info on their HUD to regulate their body. Also the glove allowed for the user to keep cool and safe from the elements even in the harshest environments.
Although it is great armor for frontline troopers, for scouts or more nimble forces the armor is greatly inadequate for the unique fighting styles implied. This armor is focused on large scale forces and standard infantry that need to survive more than one blaster hit.
