Description
The Valkyrie II project originated as an assignment for two NAIS student design teams to create a new heavy scout and skirmisher mech based on the Valkyrie VLK-QA. A rivalry between the two teams and outside pressures from Davion bureaucrats pushed both designs far beyond a replacement for the VLK-QA. Achernar BattleMechs was contracted to construct the Valkyrie II-1A which sports a Hermes 360XL Engine, six Jump Jets, an ER PPC, a LRM10, and over eleven tons of armor.

Description
Built on the Valkyrie II-1A chassis, the -1M was part of a secondary challenge in the mech's creation, this time to make the best possible use of specially designed melee weaponry, in this case a Mech Mace. Armed with a battery of Medium and ER Medium Lasers for backup weaponry, the -1M really goes all-in on the power of its massive Mace, which the design team styled after a great winged hammer. Luckily for the -1M, the Mace proved so dangerous that the designs shortcomings were generally overlooked.

Description
One of the earliest field refits of the Valkyrie II-2A, the -2L was built to fill a role that the AFFS didn't have a good mech for: a fast heavy direct-fire support design using ballistics for easy supply line considerations. To whit, the -2L upgrades the engine to an XL from the -2A's Light Fusion. The weight savings then go toward a pair of shoulder mounted LB-5X Autocannons with a pair of ER Mediums for backup. The armor and speed profile of the base -2A remain the same.

Luckily for the -2S, the Sword proved dangerous enough that the designs shortcomings were generally overlooked.

Description
An experimental Valkyrie II variant that was intended purely for arena combat, the Valkyrie VLK-II-3X is a uniquely melee focused mech. Created by a renegade NAIS engineer who stole a VLK-II-1M on the way out the door, the -3X could only exist in an arena. How it came to battlefields is unclear. The ranged armament is paltry, a mere two each of Large and Medium Lasers, but the -3X has other tricks at hand. Namely, it carries a mech-scale Lance and a Medium Shield, making it a brutal melee combatant and especially deadly in charges.
