   [Music] The Anvil Asgard is the Valkyrie on steroids. It's here to deliver larger vehicles than the Valkyrie is capable of, but without the troop deployment side of it. This is for the person with a Nova tank that doesn't have a big enough garage. I would say it's a beast with uh tons of weapons. It's ready for actions in combat. I cannot imagine a ground vehicle that won't fit in the back of this ship, but I know where we work. So, I think that's probably not a good idea to say. The big exterior changes are we've now

   got our missile rack on top of the ship. It also looks more aggressive because all of its weapons now face forward. We've got two new wings on the top. They are now supporting um engines instead of guns. We have new rear thrusters to help it propel itself. Now it's carrying a tank. I think one thing to notice is the underwing of the thing. It looks structurally sound. We really tried to make that extra wing that's now carrying an engine look like it can carry an engine. We've also extended and thickened the rear ramp entrance so that the bigger Nova can actually fit. If you're dropping into a battlefield for like a beach landing or something, you just like shoot everything at once, clear the

   area to let the tank or whatever come out the back. We also have a few cool paints. My personal preference is the copper paint. From the outside, it's obviously impressive. You don't really like get the full scope of how big it is until you like enter through those front doors and you see the roof just super far above your head. The hanger interior, it's basically just like huge cavernous space, a very tall area. It's almost I've heard it described as being church-like. The side walls repeat in a fashion that's similar to like a cathedral. And at the end of it is a window into habitation that draws your eye towards it.

   We've cut the crew complement down from four to two because there's only a pilot and a turret gunner/engineer now. So we have a full bunk for the pilot and the gunner. We then have a little bathroom off to one side. Really comfortable habit decation. Suit locker. decent weapon rack and a chow line I think is what we call it still. It also has um a slightly bigger cargo grid than the Valkyrie. This one gets up to 180, but that's floor to ceiling in the back there. So, it can be a little unwieldy if you do fill it up all the way. It's kind of in that weird spot where it's a military ship with an enormous cargo hold. So, it kind of gets the best of both worlds.

   destroyed. It can get your tank on the battlefield with ease, providing as much fire as it wants to. You've then closed that ramp, lifted back off, and got the hell out.
