What to know
The Valkyrie heavy dropship is a troop transport developed by Anvil Aerospace. For the Valkyrie, troop seating, fast exits, covering fire, and a credible recovery plan support the whole ground insertion.
Valkyrie specifications
The team movement behind the Valkyrie
The Valkyrie gives an embarked team a protected route to the landing zone and a safe way home, with the twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch supporting the exposed part of that movement. The Valkyrie combines two manned turrets with paired Size 3 guns, two remote Size 4 turrets, and two Size 1 door guns to cover the dropship during approach and deployment. Twenty jump seats and matching gun racks carry a fully equipped squad into a combat area and support its later extraction.
Seats, exits, equipment, and pickup planning
With the Valkyrie, troop seating, fast exits, covering fire, and a credible recovery plan support the whole ground insertion.
Development note: The Valkyrie is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.3.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

The Valkyrie keeps seats, equipment, and the route to each exit clear before the team reaches the landing zone.
Weapon and gear storage lets the people aboard the Valkyrie prepare without carrying loose equipment through the cabin.
Heavy lift for troops and a ground vehicle
The Valkyrie carries up to twenty equipped troops and a ground vehicle into a combat zone. Dedicated jump seats and weapon racks prepare the team, while pilot guns, manned turrets, remote turrets, and door guns cover the approach and deployment.
Twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch
Twenty troop positions and the lower vehicle bay let the Valkyrie deliver people and ground mobility together.
Pilot, manned, remote, and door guns provide overlapping coverage while troops and the vehicle move away from the ship.
A dropship mission includes bringing the team and its vehicle back aboard when it is time to withdraw.
Deployment aboard the Valkyrie
The Valkyrie carries a team into a dangerous place, with seating, exits, covering systems, and the twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch all serving a fast and organized deployment.
-
Set the route, landing zone, and exit order before approach
The team aboard the Valkyrie prepares its seats, equipment, exit order, and fallback point before the ship enters the dangerous part of the route.
-
Use the armored hull to protect the landing
On the Valkyrie, armor, weapons, and flight control serve the same goal: put the team where it can begin work.
-
Coordinate the cockpit and ground team during the drop
Aboard the Valkyrie, the exposed route benefits most when the twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch keeps exits and the deployed team protected and usable.
-
Preserve a credible route back to the team
Extraction planning continues after the last person leaves the Valkyrie's cabin.
Valkyrie's deployment systems in detail
The Valkyrie combines its twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch with protected seating and clear exits so the team can leave quickly after landing or boarding.
Two pilot-controlled Size 3 guns join the manned, remote, and door turrets to cover the Valkyrie's approach, troop deployment, and recovery.
Aboard the Valkyrie, cargo hold keeps the working load protected and accessible.
Aboard the Valkyrie, seats, equipment stowage, and clear crew routes prepare the people aboard for their first movement after arrival.
Seats, gear, and exit order are arranged so the team can leave the Valkyrie without delay.
The Valkyrie is built to deploy its team under fire
The Valkyrie's flight crew and embarked team need one plan for approach, exit order, covering support, and recovery.
Carrying the team in the Valkyrie
Approach, seating, exit order, and recovery are planned together so the Valkyrie can deploy its team under fire.
On the Valkyrie, everyone aboard should know the destination, fallback point, and first movement after the doors open.
The Valkyrie coordinates the twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch with seating, equipment, access, and the recovery point rather than treating it as an isolated feature.
The team leaves the Valkyrie knowing where and when it can be recovered.
The deployment route through the Valkyrie
The Valkyrie places the twenty jump seats, a vehicle bay, and full overwatch on its main access routes. The Valkyrie's access and support areas keep people, cargo, or carried craft moving without blocking the next task.
