Description:
The Valkyrie is the second carrier created by TDI for the COTBR. Unlike it's previous creation, this carrier possesses an extra squadron count and a mixture of starfighters that can be delegated to different roles. Since the carrier is not well protected in terms of armaments, it can rely on one of the three squadron groups to help defend it if need be. Plus like the other carrier created for the COTBR, it comes with the essential packaging minus the plasma shield.
The carrier is hampered by it's speed and lack of armaments (if it elects not use a squadron in reserve) and must sit back from the major fighting. This carrier is not designed for space battle but mainly an intergalactic starfighter transportation ship. Since this carrier is bigger than the previous one created, it can go on three months patrol (cargo bay designed to hold enough consumables), accompanying warships, rather than just patrolling the space area surrounding planets and systems.
The carrier's crew is broken down as such:
* 25 Officers (Includes Captain/Admiral, XO, Nav Officers, Com Officer, and Hanger Bay Officer)
* 60 pilots (15 reservists)
* 115 Engineers
* 18 Gunners (13 reservists)
* 20 Medical Staff
* 300 Misc Workers (Small Kitchen Staff, Bridge Staff, Hanger Bay Staff)
* 105 Troops (To repel invaders in case of boarding)
Total Occupancy: 671
