Set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of the 1930s, Valkyria Chronicles
depicts Europe divided in two and ruled by two super powers: the Empire and the
Federation. The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called
Gallia, situated in the middle of the two superpowers territories, in an attempt to
secure invaluable natural resources. Within this struggle a hero named Welkin, and his
fellow soldiers of the Federation's 7th Platoon, are fighting back against the
invasion and the Empires attempts to unify the continent under its power. During the
ensuing war the Federation discovers that the Empire possesses a secret weapon, known as
the "Valkyria" – an ancient race with special powers thought to exist
only in legends. With this new discovery the fate of the Federation's ability to
turn the tide of the war, and the hope for a better future, hang in the balance.
