Valkyrie

Achtung!" - Anonymous Valkyrie-class starfighter pilot

The Valkyrie-class heavy starfighter is a starship in the fictional StarCraft universe. It was part of the recent additions to the sweeping United Earth Directorate fleet that came to reinstate order in the Korpulu Sector. They are rather large for typical fighters, but are still fast, aggressive, and manueverable. They fire H.A.L.O. rockets in groups of eight, where every rocket deals six units of damage to enemy units, and has splash damage in a 3x3 matrix around each detonating rocket.

They are very heavily armored, making them durable even under intensive enemy fire. Due to the devastating 48 damage per salvo, the splash damage, and their heavy armor, they are considered even by the savage and ruthless Zerg aliens and the sophisticated Protoss xenophobes to be the most effective anti-air units in the Korprulu Sector. In small groups, they can devastate enemy air groups even when outnumbered!

Their only flaw is that they are defenseless against enemy ground units.
