The Valkyria is a light transport used primarily as a ship’s boat or short-range launch. Although they have become so ubiquitous and popular across the system that they have been converted to serve all kinds of roles, from express package delivery to mobile science labs, asteroid prospectors to orbital cargo shuttles, and even the odd mercenary or pirate conversion. It is also a really great starter project for your 3D printer, five stories high, with decks split up into control, payload and propulsion. It also boasts robust communications and sensor equipment.
Valkyria is named for the warrior maidens who collected the souls of the slain from the battlefields of Midgard and brought them to the halls of Valhalla and Folkvangr. You might know them as Valkyries.
The ship is built at the Aesir Shipyard on Mercurius by the Aesir corporation. It’s a conglomerate of Scandinavian bloc megacorps sometimes called Kalmar II after the famed 14th century union of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. It’s history of spacecraft design is harkening back to the early days of fusion torch travel.
Valkyria is affectionately named the football, for its rough resemblance to a rugby ball, it has been a popular model for the last 26 years.
Keep our lore and seamlessly drop it into your game. Or use Valkyria as surrogate for other vessels in your favourite futuristic roleplaying or tabletop skirmish game.
Valkyria is part of our latest campaign Aesir Fleet: 28mm Ships for your tabletop, at Backerkit.
Get the stl files of Valkyria and 3D print your own 28mm-scale spaceship on your 3D printer. Assembly instructions are included, along with drag and drop print plates to get you started printing in minutes.
If you don’t have a 3D printer, there is a possibility during the campaign to get Valkyria (upgradable later) printed for you.
Besides Valkyria the campaign includes two other brand new tail-sitting ships – The Nidhogg and The Ratatosk.
And returning, in the campaign, with a complete refit and overhaul is the Sleipnir Refit and the Fenrir, an official Sleipnir variant.
