VALOR

==="Are ''we going to let them take us down, or are we going to fight back, together?!" - Kevin Bear, 2028 ''===

''Trained for only a month, the VALOR military force is a resourceful and tactful group of soldiers worthy of defending Earth. ''

Destroyer Invasion (2028-2032)
''Although there was no military force in the city when the Destroyers invaded, Kevin declared a training session inside all of the bunkers for anyone willing to fight. There were 691,387 members of the VALOR army. Each soldier is equipped with a sword and a C-rifle. There armor is all the B47-A armor type with recycled air systems and a cape as well. They travel in groups of two and never rush into a battlefield. Kevin taught them well.''

Destroyer Counter-Strike (2042-2053)
''During this time, the military has gotten smaller, to 509,429 soldiers, but VALOR is still strong and perfectly capable of fending off the Destroyer forces. Their main goal is to assist in the launch of the ATLAS IV, which is meant to make an assault mission on the Destroyer home world alongside the ATLAS III. Now, they fight as an army to defend Kevin and his small band of troops. ''

Assault on Terriace-0995 (2054-2068)
''The Destroyer home world is gigantic and the VALOR military is needed to complete the assault. Only 12,570 soldiers were able to be stored on the ATLAS IV and the others were killed in the destruction of the ATLAS III. The soldiers on Earth were still at war with the aliens when the ship launched. At the end of the war, despite their many efforts to save as many lives as possible, only 2,468 soldiers survived the assault. ''

Trivia

 * The VALOR army was originally going to be a lot more powerful, but has changed since then, because the difficulty of the games will be increased that way.
 * Both Maxwell and Moxxie Strong are VALOR soldiers, but they are strictly under the command of Kevin only.
 * There weren't any second generation VALOR soldiers, so all the ones that lived were from the original training program 40 years earlier.
