The Valkyries were an organization of female robots that worked for Dr Nefarious. The Valkyries were trained to be both powerful on the ground and in the air. They specialized in piloting ships, with their three leaders being Carina, Cassiopeia and Libra. Their main base was the Valkyrie Citadel, on planet Vapedia. The female of the species have giant rears.
There were two kinds of Valkyries: the hammer-equipped ground units, who could both slam their hammers in Ratchet's direction, and spin while glowing red, and the air units that threw javalins.
Ratchet killed all three of the Valkyrie leaders and later infiltrated their citadel. The Valkyries kept Clank hostage for Dr Nefarious.
Valkyries would also kill any men of their species with their death course. The leader Cassiopeia stated "Any man is too weak to survive this course" as Ratchet began the first round. As a result, we can only speculate as to how they reproduce, and what the male of the species looks like.
