==Overview:==
As part of the rebuilding after the Jihad, the various nations within the
Inner Sphere vowed that they would never again allow themselves to be bested
by another power. This kicked off an arms race that resulted in a number of
new designs being developed and old designs revamped. With the Federated Suns,
the Valkyrie was almost immediately reconsidered for modification. Taking
design cues from the various designs fielded by the New Terran Hegemony (in
particular, their Stinger field mod) and the Solaris Protectorate (the Wasp
field mod that they were beginning to employ), Corean set out to make the mech
as lethally effective as possible. 

By adding an XL engine, the designers sacrificed resilience for speed, giving
it 20% greater jumping distance and a faster ground speed. This also allowed
for one of the heat sinks to be included in the newer, larger engine, saving
tonnage and internal space. 

The single medium laser was turned into three ER Medium Lasers; following NTH
and SP practice, one laser was placed in the head and another was placed in
the left arm, thereby allowing redundancy in case the right arm was
compromised. The lone LRM 10 was split into twin LRM 5s for the same reason,
and with a ton of ammo per LRM the pilots of this new Valkyrie now have
options concerning variant ammo types. As part of the redundancy process, a
right hand was added to the design.

Double heat sinks enable the mech to vent heat without issue, but come at the
cost of a packed internal design; an armor breach just about anywhere on the
mech is almost guaranteed to result in something critical being hit.
