About
Terran fighters in the T-V war era were under powered in terms of engine output, but made up for it with superior armour and firepower.

Great War designs were faster and more adaptable without losing much in firepower.

FS2 era ships blended high performance and strong defensive and attack capability, with most craft able to perform a variety of roles.

Valkirie
The Valkirie is a Terran Fighter deployed towards the end of the Terran Vasudan war. A Development of the Angel class Scout Fighter, Its modifications included 2 additional angines and 2 Primary weapon mounts. Its design is reminicent of atmospheric fighters of earth's 20th / 21st century. It is the fastest ship in the GTA.

The Most noted mission of the Valkirie was one of its first and its instrumental role in capturing the Terran Traitor Mccarthy in his attempt to sell the Avenger weapon prototype for his defection.
