  Valkyrie , Norse Mythology
Many ancient mythological heroes, some of whom may have been derived from real persons, were believed to be descendants of the gods; among them were Sigurd the Dragon-slayer; Helgi Thrice-Born, Harald Wartooth, Hadding, Starkad, and the Valkyries.
The Valkyries rode through the air in brilliant armor, directed battles, distributed death lots among the warriors, and conducted the souls of slain heroes to Valhalla, the great hall of Odin.
Freya or Freyja, goddess of love, fertility, and beauty, sometimes identified as the goddess of battle and death.

  Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth for PSP Review - PSP Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth Review
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is a solid port of a one-of-a-kind role-playing game that is endlessly appealing to genre fans who are looking for something different, but it's a bit too dense for everyone else.
Valkyrie Profile certainly has an interesting take on the standard character-recruitment and party-management concepts you'll find in most role-playing games, but the game does a poor job of presenting these mechanics to newcomers.
Valkyrie Profile is a complex, ambitious, and gorgeous title that offers much to like: beautiful aesthetics, an entertaining battle system, engaging characters, and a creatively balanced "dual" scenario.

  Valkyrie - Battlestar Wiki
Valkyrie (BS 41) was a Colonial battlestar under the command of William Adama before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies.
The eventual fate of the Valkyrie is not known, but she is presumed to have been destroyed along with the rest of the Colonial Fleet (except Galactica and Pegasus) during the Cylon assault on the Twelve Colonies.
Valkyrie is the third (second onscreen) instance of Norse mythology being used, the first being Ragnar Station, which is a reference to Ragnarok, the Norse "twilight of the gods" (Miniseries).

 Motorcycle Online: Honda Valkyrie Interstate v. Yamaha Venture
Basically, the Valkyrie engine is a hopped-up Gold Wing engine reconfigured with six 28mm carbs (compared to the twin set found on the Gold Wing), revised camshaft timing and a freer flowing exhaust.
The Valkyrie Interstate offers 130 liters of cargo space, and the side bags are well made in that that are not flimsy, but they are awkward to use.
The Valkyrie Interstate is comfortable, although we did prefer the Venture's forward-set floorboards to the Valkyrie's foot pegs.

 Valkyrie
Brunnhilde and her fellow Valkyries continued to gather heroic mortal warriors for Valhalla until roughly a millennium ago, when Odin was forced to cease virtually all intercourse with the Earth in accordance with a pact that he and the leaders of Earth's other pantheons of gods made with extraterrestrial Celestials.
Finally, a woman driven mad by being trapped in another mystical dimension, Barbara Norriss, was given the Valkyrie's power and consciousness by Amora in order to help the Enchantress and her erstwhile allies, the group of superhumans called the Defenders, escape from the clutches of the sorceress Casiolena.
At the end of that encounter, the Valkyrie’s body, still possessed by Norriss’s mind was consigned to Niffiehelm, the realm inhabited by the spirits at the non-heroic Asgardian dead, while Brunnhilde’s mind in Norriss’s transformed body accompanied the Defenders, who had made the other dimensional journey with her, back to Earth.

 The Valkyrie - Mythical Creature, Valkyries Mythology, Norse Myth - valkrie valkry
Valkyries were originally sinister spirits of slaughter, dark angels of death who soared over the battlefields like birds of pray, meting out fate in the name of Odin.
In later Norse myth, the Valkyries were romanticized as Odin's Shield-Maidens, virgins with golden hair and snowy arms who served the chosen heroes everlasting mead and meat in the great hall of Valhalla.
Idealized Valkyries were definitely more vulnerable than their more fierce predecessors, and often fell in love with mortal heroes.

 ROBOTECH: UNDF Veritech Mecha - Valkyrie   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The superbly-armed Super variants of the Valkyrie were developed by the SDF research groups in response to field experience with the standard models, namely the specialized needs of a space-dedicated fighter with heavier weapons packages to defeat an opposing force that possessed vast numerical superiority.
As there was a need for the Valkyries to be able to transport themselves into a higher orbit (the ARMD platforms rarely descended to such low an orbit that an unaided Valkyrie could rendez-vous with them) an orbital booster was developed that gave the Valkyrie the capability to ascend as high as a geostationary orbit.
Attached to a shield-shaped capacitor, this weapon dwarfed the GU-11 and is similar to the PBC-11 of the Tomahawk destroid in yield and capacity.

Crescent’s Valkyrie is a sportfishing yacht of mythological proportions.
In Norse mythology, a Valkyrie was one of the beautiful maidens of Odin who hovered over the field of battle, choosing those to be slain and conducting worthy heroes to Valhalla.
Valkyrie’s owner was concerned about handling the tender offshore, especially the possibility of the boat swinging into the deckhouse during launch or retrieval in marginal weather and sea conditions, so he specified that the davit must be able to handle the boat on either side of the yacht or over the stern.

 Viking Answer Lady Webpage - Valkyries, Wish-Maidens, and Swan-Maids
The Valkyrie is, in the oldest strata of belief, a corpse goddess, represented by the carrion-eating raven.
The valkyrie who can weave victory can also weave defeat, for the valkyrie had the art of the war-fetter, which allowed the valkyrie to bind a warrior with terror, or release a favored warrior from those same bonds.
By this later time, the Valkyries as demigoddesses of death had their legend conflated with the folklore motif of the swan maiden (young girls who are able to take on the form of a swan, sometimes as the result of a curse).

 RPGamer > Staff Review > Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria takes place well before that era, during a time in which Odin and the Aesir were at the height of their power, holding sway over both Asgard and Midgard.
It focuses on the youngest of the three Valkyrie sisters, Silmeria, who was banished from Asgard for some unknown transgression against the All-Father and reincarnated on Midgard as a mere human.
