================================================================================================
Overview:
The Valkyrie is a 'Mech design unique to the Federated Suns. Although commissioned by the
League's Regular Army, it did not enter production until 2787, after the start of the First
Succession War. Because the Corean facilities were within the Federated Suns, all Valkyries
produced became the exclusive property of House Davion. Despite the chaos of the Succession
Wars, the Corean plants on New Avalon are still functional, a large industrial complex still
capable of manufacturing up to 130 Valkyries per year.
The continued operation of Corean Enterprises depends upon several other key industries.
Components such as fusion reactors and sensor helmets are still produced by completely
automated plants, using technology that is no longer understood. These old and worn plants
often break down, which means the day may come when it is no longer possible to repair
malfunctioning equipment. When the supply of ultra-high technological parts needed by each
'Mech runs out, Corean Enterprises will be forced to end production.
Future concerns aside, the Valkyrie has become an important part of the Davion forces.
It generally replaces the lighter Stingers and Wasps in the Federated Sun's crack combat
regiments, giving their units improved firepower. Because the VLK carries twice the armor
of either a WSP or STG, it can last longer under fire.
Capabilities:
At present, there are few variants of the basic Valkyrie. The only other common version
uses a flamer in place of the medium laser. This model is not intended for combat, but as
an incendiary 'Mech.

Why? Still slow, has no mid range weapon. The flamer is a specialty weapon, not a general weapon.
GM- I use this when I have a few Valkyries to mix it up. But has never impressed or damaged the PCs

Well, the flamer isn't the best thing to have on mech that has only LRMs. The mech can still perform it's fire support duty and flamer may allow you to build a maze of fire between you and the enemy, but still you need someone to protect you or spot for you.

No thanks. Like the davion spider variant packing a flamer, I don't care for flamers (not that I won't include them...it is rare though) as they have no range and do less damage to the target than you suffer in heat. This variant cannot defend itself either if the enemy closes to below the minimum range. Hope your lancemates are available or your in trouble.

A pure support variant.
It needs it´s comrades for defense.
Shoot you missiles to where somebody needs them, lay fire where it is recommended by you comrades and stay out of any real fight!

Not at all a good variant. The fluff says it is used only for incendiary duty, not combat. So don't expect to ever see more than 1 per RCT and only if they haven't got any Firestarters or Vulcans.
Since it is not a mech meant to engage in combat, I don't see why anyone bothered making this variant to begin with.
