617th Valkyrie Squadron

"617th- Building your Hornet's Nest." -CT-6106, Unnamed
==Valkyrie Squadron==
The 617th Valkyrie squadron was a collection of 20 Troopers from the Venator "Reclaimer" transferred to the "Valkyrie" Venator in 22BBY to assist in securing Landing Zones for main troop deployment. They were a detachment from the 14th Sky Core.
==Specializations==
Valkrie Squadron was created in order to secure Landing Zones for Venator Deployment as an undercover force to assure the Main Force remains a suprise attack to their Target. They deployed using the REPUBLIC ORBITAL DROP STRIKER Pods, or R.O.D.S Drop Pods to be the first boots on ground.
They stayed behind after around 10 Minutes after the LZ and Forcefield to keep the Troops from running off up, then unloading ammo crates and Medkits before leaving back to the Valkrie Venator. They used ARF Reconniscance Armor and a modified DC-15a with a very high but inaccurate Full-Auto mode. They did not specialize in direct combat, though enough to take out a few droids. They also came with Long-Term deployment gear, as some Operations took weeks assuring a Republic Invasion of a sector was a secret from enemy Command Posts.
==Notable Battles==
===Battle of Umbara===
During the final stages of the Umbaran assault, Valkyrie Squadron requested backup at the Capital while from a failed Drop Pod enterance resulting in a massacre of seven of them before the Valkyrie Venator could assist them.
===Siege of Rincia, Stage 1===
Valkyire Squadron was deployed as the first boots on ground during the investigation of Sector 07 on planet Rincia for 2 Weeks, doing scouting runs and going undercover to influence local villages for resources and passage unharmed when the Main force came.
==Disbanding (Future, 14 BBY)==
 During the Imperial Reign, the 617th was decomissioned and transferred to serve as stock Imperial Commandos for the 501st Legion. The remnants of Valkyrie Squadron were put in as replacements for Ex-Republic Commando Imperials and split up.
