Officially, the VF-1 Valkyrie is the first variable fighter, capable of seamless rapid transformation between an aerospace all-environment fixed wing fighter, a humanoid "battroid," and a VTOL-oriented "GERWALK." While at least two other machines of such capability are known to have seen combat in the final stages of the Unification Wars, it is the Valkyrie that has captured the awe and adoration of humanity thanks to its pivotal role as the fighter that fought Space War 1, and it is the Valkyrie that has established the benchmark by which countless successor machines have been judged.
