The Valkyries. A female dominated independent military power that once occupied many undiscovered worlds and star systems in this sector. They specialize in energy damage ballistics, missiles and artillery, their fleet is very large, and their unconventional battleships numerous. They are a formidable opponent, and should not be taken lightly unless you are confident.

Use of AI:
Translation aids: DeepL, google translate
Base portrait generation: canva
All translations were reviewed for correctness and clarified if they referred to in-game objects. All portraits have gone through modification using (mainly) microsoft paint to fix flaws, overall logic and balance of the images, a process that took between several hours to several days per portrait.

Woah, the Valkyrians are back? How exciting.

[templeofshadow]

new weeb portraits, most excellent... my collection is growing...

To be serious though, this looks pretty cool, looking forward to playing with it.

[persocom01]

the weeb portraits are not part of the original mod, but I made them.

how they were made:

step 1: get an ai to generate a portrait of a Valkyrie in space


step 2: fix the image with an image editor (in this case, microsoft paint)


step 3: remove background using online tool

stop 4: shrink image to 128x128

each portrait took anywhere from several hours to several days, and altogether took longer than the translation itself. It was my first 'portrait pack', but I hope you guys enjoy it.

in linux the file torpedo Sunfury.png must be named Torpedo_Sunfury.png to avoid a crash

[TandemCharge]

It's like meeting an old friend again

I just released rc5 of the English version. The main differences are smoothening of translations since rc1, but also importantly, the .jar file was edited in order to translate the mission tactical briefings, something I did not realize I had to do before. To retain compatibility I did not recompile the jar file, but rather edited the bytecode, so there should not be any problems. This should be the end of any untranslated parts of the mod, but let me know if any are found.

So they give you a mission to do something and bring them 3 Yoshura capital ships? Is this just poorly translated? I cheated and turned 3 in and that works, but how are players supposed to actually get the ships? (read the codex and that wasnt helpful either....)

they should occasionally be sold on Valkyrian military markets. You can also salvage them from bounties. Currently, as of version 3.2.2, the ships are accepted regardless of their condition and number of d mods. The end reward for the quest should be a special Yoshura capital ship.

[Noomsy]

Thanks!

Wasn't sure if I was missing something. I was looking for systems with names from the codex descriptions and such

[storytellerkenneth]

Thank you for the translation! I apologize if the question has been answered somewhere, but is the mod safe to be added into an ongoing game?

you are welcome, although I translated it mainly for myself, because I kind of ran out of mods I wanted to add to a new game and I thought this one looked pretty good, but no one wanted to translate it. I also created the anime portrait replacer add on because of my own taste.

I cannot say I have tried for this mod, but what generally happens if you add faction mods mid game is that their ships and weapons get added but the faction system does not spawn, so although it likely will not break the game, it is not recommended.

Thank you for the response! I tried to load this mod onto a backup of an ongoing save, and it happened exactly how you predicted. I do want to add the following information, however:

I added the faction mod in the middle of a save game. The faction did not spawn naturally, as one would expect, but I colonized a new system and gave the colony to the Valkyrian Battle Maiden faction using the Nexerelin mod. After becoming friendly with the new faction, the special quest spawned in one of the bars despite the market/planet/system not being originally theirs! I could then do the mission to its completion and gain the promised reward.

Anyone happen to know what's supposed to happen after the quest? I select a choice, unsure of what it changes, go kill a dude in a big 'ol fleet and then nothing. I checked all three Valkyrian planets and did not find anything.

The quest choice affects the hullmod you get on the special ship. There's no continuation after that.
