Expanded and reworked the interactions of different species on Valkyrie, to better focus on the planet being a melting pot.

 Valkyrie is home to the largest trade infrastructure in the Republic of Biesel, with the moon being surrounded by orbital stations that handle what is generally regarded as the heaviest space traffic in human space, often referred to as the Docks of Valkyrie. Most ships doing business in Tau Ceti will stop at least once on the moon.
-The crowded streets, tunnels, residences, and its status as a port means Valkyrie is a melting pot of peoples and cultures. Nearly half of Valkyrie’s population are first-generation migrants to the moon, and those who have lived in Valkyrie all their life are typically the children or grandchildren of immigrants. [[Offworlder Humans]] are very common, and Valkyrie possesses a small community of Sadar, or Scarab Fleet exiles. Owing to their EVA experience, offworlder humans are highly sought out for work in the many shipyards, or in the moon’s orbit. Pan-speciesism and pan-culturalism is a point of pride for many Valkyrians, though secluded communities or isolated populations of aliens or migrant humans are common. Gaining residency in Valkyrie is regarded as even laxer than the rest of the Republic, with the sheer amount of comings and goings rendering it impossible for everyone to be tracked. As a result, the local government has adopted a very open policy with immigrants, nearly to the point of settler rights. If a person lives on the moon and has someone willing to vouch for them, they are almost always granted residency.

 While most on Valkyrie live relatively comfortable lives, Biesel’s corporate leanings permeate the moon to its core. Basic subsidized healthcare consists of emergency care and regular physicals; beyond that, dental and psychiatric services - plus any specialized disability care - are usually gated behind employment with the megacorporations. A lack of subsidized care for those with permanent disabilities means that many workers caught in industrial accidents find themselves continuing to work with their choice of corporation, indebted from the medical care, as assistance from the Commonwealth is simply not an option.

 Despite the cloistered and heavily urbanized nature of the habitation domes, hydroponics facilities are quite expansive. Crops that require more specific conditions to grow are usually gated in Getmore buildings, but community gardens or colonization-era facilities that became overgrown are equally as prominent. Street vendors will usually subsidize meal costs if a customer brings them produce to cook with, thus ensuring that a healthy cycle of growing, farming, and cooking exists on the planet.

	After [[Moghes\|Moghes’]] Contact War, [[Hephaestus Industries]] began to finance departures of [[Unathi]] from the ruined planet, sending them to Valkyrie so long as they agreed to work for the company. This push brought thousands of Unathi, Hegemonic and Traditionalist alike, to the moon, where they developed small communities and lived and worked in Hephaestus-built living facilities. Some would eventually return to Moghes, but most continued to build a life for themselves on the moon, establishing aquaculture facilities to have access to cheaper fish and meats key to Unathi sustenance. Hephaestus has come to increasingly rely on Valkyrie's Unathi population to maintain its ports, factories, and refinement plants, and for the Unathi that rise to managerial positions in these factories, their Valkyrian Dream is truly fulfilled.

	Owing to the vacuum, most residential areas in Valkyrie were originally developed as massive bases partially dug into the ground, with their own isolated atmospheric system. More recent constructions on the moon's surface, such as the Hyperion Data Nexus, are constructed under habitation domes similar to ones on Luna. Hard lines between districts are difficult to draw because of the close clustering of buildings, and so the corporate-owned bases become the most distinct Valkyrian landmarks.
