The '''Valkyrie Airborne Assault Carrier''' is a heavily armed [[Imperial Aircraft]] with VTOL ('''V'''ertical '''T'''akeoff '''O'''r '''L'''anding) capabilities, used to ferry special forces such as [[Storm Trooper Squads]] and [[Regiment#Drop Regiment|Drop Troop Regiments]] such as the [[Elysian Drop Troops]] to and from combat zones.
Its primary armament is a [[Multi-laser]], which can be replaced with a [[Lascannon]], and two door-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]]s. This combination of weapons allows Valkyrie pilots to stay on station once their cargo has been dropped and provide limited air-support to the troops on the ground. In place of the craft's two external fuel tanks the Valkyrie can instead take either two [[Hellstrike missile]]s or two [[Rocket pods]], and can receive [[Imperial Aircraft Upgrades|additional upgrades]].
