Infinite Stratos: Rise of the Valkyries

by WellBattle6

"We lived in a different time, a different world, and now, we are the newcomers. We are a nation born from fire, from sacrifice, Valkyria." The sudden appearance of the monolithic tower floating on the sea off the coast of Japan has heralded the beginning, a new era. Ichika and friends must now face a tidal wave that may change the history of IS forever, for better or.. for worse.

10. Valkyrian Files: Divisions

Valkyrian Files: Divisions

Valkyria boasts the most technologically advanced army in the world. It's infantry are equipped with energy weapons and have access to the largest drone force in history (not including Legionnaires). Outnumbering the drone count of the United States by 3:1. Estimations have shown that due to nanoprinting techniques in production, the logistical capability for warfare of the Valkyrian state is on par or greater than the entire logistical capacity of the United States. While Valkyrians haven't performed actual combat in the world of IS since their arrival, the demonstrations shown at ArmsCon has shown that it is a true world power. The divisions are made up of people from all backgrounds due to the assimilation of multiple world militaries into one central command structure during the Valkyrian war against the 'Murlocs,' also known as the Apocalypse by the civilian population born before the war.
