BACKGROUND
The VF-19ACTIVE Nothung is based on the mass produced VF-19EF Caliburn, a monkey model of the VF-19E. It is an experimental craft for data collection that was entrusted to S.M.S., by LAI, to carry out test operations. ACTIVE is Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Valkyries, which means Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Variable Aircraft.The variable winglet that the wing-tips are equipped with, can change such things like the wing cross section and wing type in response to every situation of an air battle, using the freely transformable material that the earlier YF-21 was equipped with. However, the VF-19ACTIVE became an airframe that chooses its rider, because the ability of skilled pilots is indispensible as the development of technology that controls the complicated flying system relying on neither BDI (Brainwave Control System) nor implants is still under development; and in order to ride and handle the VF-19ACTIVE easily, there is an intuitive interface by means of the support of a high-end AI and EX-Gear.
Even though it was this aircraft with its experimental-for-the-assesment-of-new-technologies strongly implied, for reasons similar to those above-mentioned, the situations that the VF-19ACTIVE is put into S.M.S. is restricted. Including the Nothung, that became the craft that Chelsea Scarlet boarded, the number of VF-19ACTIVE production craft is exceedingly small.
At the present [2058], the VF-19ACTIVE was the figure that was revealed and placed into the Vanquish Race. Even more, the VF-19ACTIVE is thought to be one link in the data collection for the development of the next generation of Variable Fighters.

NOTES:
- (1) destroying the head of the fighter will knock out the Valkyrie's major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal). Radar and communications will be unaffected.
- (2) depleting the MDC of the main body will destroy the Valkyrie. The pilot and cockpit section/escape pod will be automatically ejected from the doomed Valkyrie before it explodes by the Valkyrie's main computer.
- (3) the Pinpoint Barrier shield regenerates at a rate of 50 MDC per round. Even if completely destroyed the shield will regenerate to full strength within 2 melee rounds. The shield is usually generated on the right or left arm of the Valkyrie.
- (4) 150 MDC only in Battroid and/or when the blast shield is lowered over the cockpit. Otherwise, 50 MDC for the canopy and 100 MDC for the remainder of the cockpit. Requires a called shot to hit the canopy.
- (5) optional attachments that offer extra protection. Whenever the fighter takes damage roll 1D6. On a result of 1-4 the Super Parts take damage before the VF's main body does. Alternatively, if the pilot makes a successful parry roll the Super Parts automatically take damage first.
Explosive: unless otherwise noted, a Super Parts will explode violently when its MDC reaches 0. If the computer is functioning it will automatically eject the damaged part. If it is not, the pilot has one melee action to eject the Super Part before it explodes. Parts that explode do 1D6x100 MD. Deduct damage first from the part covered by the Super Parts, and then any remaining damage from the main body of the VF.

OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS
1. FIXED MAULER REB-30G ANTI-AIRCRAFT BEAM GUN: (1)
Mounted on the head turret when in Battroid, and in the central dorsal section of the main body, pointed rearward, in Fighter and GERWALK. This beam-gun can be fired above or behind the Valkyrie in Fighter and GERWALK, but not side to side. The head turret can fire in all directions except down in Battroid. Fires a 9,500 kw fiber laser. Can be used at Mach 4+.- RANGE: 5,000 m
- DAMAGE: 1D4x10+5 MD
- RATE OF FIRE: equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks. Single shots only.
- PAYLOAD: effectively unlimited
2. HOWARD GU-15 EXTERNAL GUN POD: (1)
The main weapon of the VF-19. The gun pod is mounted on a special hardpoint below the AVF in Fighter, and is hand-held in GERWALK and Battroid. The gun pod has a maximum rate of fire of 2,000 rounds per minute, and a muzzle velocity of 4,000 m/s in atmosphere. It can be used during high G manuevers as well as during EMP attacks. The GU-15 uses clips of ammo. Two spare clips for the gun pod are mounted on the back of the VF-19's bulletproof shield; replacing a clip takes two melee actions and can only be done in GERWALK or Battroid.- RANGE: 3,000 m
- DAMAGE: 1D8 per round. 10 round burst, single target - 1D8X10 MD. 25 round burst, single target - 2D8X10 MD. Note, for bursts using greater then 25 rounds, increase the damage by a scale of 1D8X10 per 10 rounds OR refer to the modern weapons rules for machineguns.
The Gun Pod can be used for sprays: 10 round spray - 1D8 MD, affects 1D4 targets. 25 round burst spray - 1D8 MD, affects 2D4 targets with a 50% chance of hitting bystanders. Longer duration sprays (up to limits of the magazine): 2D8 MD, affects 4D4 targets. Chance of hitting bystanders is 70%. - RATE OF FIRE: equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks. Note that the amounts fired by the gun pod aren't limited to only 10, 25 or 150 rounds. Any variation can be fired (it is recommended to stick to multiples of 10 for ease of damage resolution).
- PAYLOAD: 150 rounds. Additional ammo clips can be inserted, but exchanging clips requires the VF-19 to be in Battroid or GERWALK, and takes 2 actions to reload. Two spare clip are stored behind the shield.
3. Internal Armament Loading Bays (2)
Each engine nacelle of the VF-19 contains an internal armament loading bay, which can be customized for different mission objectives and carry a variety of different payloads. Any type of internal pallet may be used. The leg pallets can be used in all modes.- NUMBER OF PALLETS: 2, 1 per engine nacelle.
- LOADOUT: B-7 Pallet with 12 HMM-20(e) micro-missiles or B-11A Pallet, with CHM-2 (atmosphere) or either the AIM-4, AMM-7, or ASM-5 (space); though any type of Pallet System can be used.
4. WING HARD POINTS (6)
The VF-19ACTIVE has 1 hardpoints per wing, for a total of 2. Some standard hardpoint loads are as follows. For alternatives, refer to the Hardpoint and Missile Details.Note: due to the location of the hard points, ALL missiles must be fired or ejected before the VF-19 can convert to Battroid. For this reason the hard point missiles are usually fired within the first few passes of an attack - which is the standard Unified Forces tactic.

5. HAND TO HAND COMBAT
If necessary, the VF-19 can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The VF-19 is extremely agile, and can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves; such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc..DAMAGE:
- Restrained Punch: 1D6 M.D.
- Full Strength Punch: 4D6 M.D.
- "Booster" Punch: 1D6x10 M.D. (counts as two attacks)
- Tear or Pry with Hands: 2D4 M.D. + additional ripping and frame damages.
- Kick: 4D6 M.D.
- Leap Kick: 2D6x10 M.D.
- Body Flip/Throw: 2D6 M.D.
- Body Block/Tackle: 2D6 M.D.
- Stomp: 1D6x10 M.D. (only effective against small objects) Note that for some objects, they will be instantly destroyed.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (FAST PACKS & SUPER PARTS)
On the dorsal surface, the VF-19 features a special equipment hardpoint for mounting a single Fold Booster. The booster must be ejected prior to transformation.- a single FBF-1000A External Fold Booster
- a single Experimental External Super Fold Booster
SUPER PACKS
Super Packs are used when the needed load of propellant, armament and so on exceeds the loading ability that the craft itself has according to the details of the flight plan, operations, and so on. They are also referred to by such things as conformal tanks. Super Packs were found to be useful not only for their increased fuel tank and booster functions, but also as multi-weapon platforms.When the VF-19's Super Packs have been expended, they can automatically detach so that there is no effect on the main body of the craft. The Super Packs can be used in an atmosphere with no negative effect on the craft's performance.
Due to the revisions to the shape of the shoulders, only the engine nacelle super parts can be mounted on the VF-19ACTIVE.
1. NP-AR-24 Conformal Tank (2)
Mounts on the outside of the engine nacelle. Contains a propellant tank and an internal micro-missile pallet, which is usually the B7 pallet micro-missile launcher. It is usually used with the NP-BAP-21 as a Super Pack. Can be used both inside and outside of the atmosphere. The pallets can be customized for different mission objectives and carry a variety of different payloads. Any type of internal pallet may be use. The pallets can be deployed in any mode.
- RANGE: significantly greater
- NUMBER OF PALLETS: 2, 1 per conformal tank
- LOADOUT: B-7 Pallet with 12 HMM-20(e) micro-missiles, though any type of Pallet System can be used.
