	''If maximum afterburner velocity is taken into account, it is worth noting that, despite not making an appearance in FreeSpace 2, the Valkyrie is still the fastest Terran fighter ever produced, beating the much newer [[GTF Pegasus\|Pegasus stealth fighter]] by 5 m/s, and the second-fastest ship ever made by the Terrans or Vasudans, losing out only to the [[GVF Horus]] by 5 m/s.''

The fact the Avenger's minimal power draw means you can drop gun power to basically nothing lets you move incredibly fast pre-shields, and gives you a speed boost comparable to pre-shield regular speeds after they get introduced.

Its predecessor was the [[GTF Angel\|GTF ''Angel'']].

	==Description:==		==Description:==

	===FS1 Tech Room Description===		===FS1 Tech Room Description===
	Using the old [[GTF Angel]] Scout Fighter as a template, the GTA created the Valkyrie Interceptor Fighter. It has two additional engines, as well as an additional set of primary hardpoints. This makes the Valkyrie the best bomber interceptor in the fleet. Its speed is unmatched in the GTA, and its maneuverability is above average. Its only drawbacks are a small secondary payload and weak hull.		Using the old GTF Angel Scout Fighter as a template, the GTA created the Valkyrie Interceptor Fighter.

	''I found its guns placements rather lousy, and the singular bay is really restrictive. Not to say it isn't a bad craft. It has an extremely high afterburner velocity, as well as larger reserves of the latter than its descendant. In addition, it has a smaller profile than the Perseus either. The Valkyrie would probably be a better interceptor, but the Perseus overall is a much better craft. The Valkyrie is simply too fragile, and restricted to interception and nothing else.

	''My personal favorite ship. The maneuverability is almost as good as the Ulysses, and its afterburner capacity is unmatched. The narrow guns in the center are very well-placed, as you can hit a target more directly, whereas the outer guns are more suited for larger targets, like large bombers, capital ships, flagships, etc. The best loadout in my opinion is Prometheus cannons in the gun banks on the wings, Avenger cannons in the nose guns, and either Phoenix or Interceptor missiles. It may be fragile, but if you fly it right, that doesn't matter. There has been no ship in either of the FreeSpace games that I haven't been able to destroy with the Valkyrie. Excellent ship.}}		''My personal favorite ship. The maneuverability is almost as good as the Ulysses, and its afterburner capacity is unmatched.
