History

During the Fourth Succession War, the Valkyries served on Memmingen alongside the 1st Sun Zhang Academy Cadre. They faced the 15th Lyran Regulars, and the Valkyries used their entrenched positions to hold on long enough for Combine reinforcements to arrive. These fresh troops forced the 15th Lyran Regulars off-world.[1]

The long service for the Taurian Concordat was a good time for the unit. They signed a new contract with the CCAF. The command was sent immediately to support the invasion of the St. Ives Compact. Intercepting fighters destroyed the command DropShip. This event demoralized the unit and were unable for combat. Only 2 battalions could land, but the defense cost them a battalion's worth of equipment. The command retreated under pressure, but the commander of the TDF think because their losses they had could fought harder and terminate the contract.

Their new employer was the government of Southwest Worlds, which give them work until 3069. The command was now employed by the FWLM and were task with the defense of the borders against any Periphery/Lyran aggressor.
