The Valkrie-1 Starfish Dropship is the first entry of a new production line by the Cyberis Space Foundation (CSF). The Valkrie line of aircraft was primarily created to construct air-based combat vehicles for the United States Air Force. It's secondary purpose was to create a security force for Cyberis International.
This craft's main function is deploying multiple groups of landing craft into enemy territory (Activation Group 1). It is not meant to go into the atmosphere. After launching the pods, the dropship uses a combination of thrusters, parachutes, and reinforced titanium landing legs to safely make exit the combat zone and land.

--Piloting--
Making this aircraft go up and around is easy enough, but landing safely can get a bit tricky. First you want to get down to about 2500 meters. You are going to need at least 10% fuel of stage 2 left if you want to be able to land. Get the stage 2 engines to 20% power (If you have more fuel, go up to 50%). After that activate Activation Group 2, which are parachutes. You should now be slowly decending. If you are still going over 40 meters per second, increase power to your engines. If you follow these intructions, you should be able to land safely! Although I still do reccomend you play with this Aircraft a bit to understand landing more clearly.
