Changes in modern warfare and reluctance of people to join military service had led to nations seeking ways to increase the effectiveness of willing soldiers. That led to the creation of the Valkyrie program. It literally meant sacrificing your dick for your country. The process was long and costly. It was reserved for those truly committed to protecting and serving their country with honour.
The fundamental success of the process required modification of the Y chromosome. Meaning that only biological men were eligible for the process. Those that went through the process turned into women with super human qualities. The process was completely irreversible. It drastically increased the strength of the subject. Giving the soldiers the ability to carry heavy loads with ease. Even carrying and using helicopter mounted miniguns was easy.
Despite looking bulky due to the added muscle mass, they had exceptional speed and reflexes compared to normal humans. Their skin hardened to resist hits by blunt and sharp objects. To the scientists surprise it was also able to stop small arms bullets from penetrating deeper into the body like a Kevlar vest. Protecting the vital organs and major blood vessels.
The Valkyries still bled and could be killed but it was deducted that using excessive and movement limiting armour all around the body wasn’t necessary. This was due to the fact that the Valkyries ability to regenerate was way beyond normal humans. Fully recovering from a gunshot wound took only days. There were even a few case studies in which a Valkyrie had been able to grow an entire limb back within a year.
The process also practically stopped them from aging. Allowing for accumulating plenty of battle experience and giving them the ability to serve indefinitely. All these abilities were made possible by their heightened metabolism. As a side effect this increased their heat generation considerably. This further increased the need to wear less clothing for more efficient cooling of the body. The Valkyries were able to survive even in arctic climates with minimal clothing if necessary.
As a side effect of the metabolism, the hair growth was extremely fast. Cutting the hair was a cumbersome task. So, after a while it was instructed not to do so. Luckily their hair stopped growing after reaching a certain length. The hair was so tough that when it was wet it could be used as a blast cover.
The only drawback of the Valkyries was their needed calorie intake. They needed to consume 10 times more calories in a day than a regular person. Still, the other benefits far outweighed this one drawback. The digestive tract of Valkyries was modified to handle almost any kind of organic material as fuel. Making it possible to eat things toxic or non-nutritious to humans.
To ensure combat effectiveness on longer missions, the fat tissues of the Valkyries were modified to be more effective in storing energy. It was decided to place most of the fat deposits in the breasts so that they could also provide additional protection from impacts. This led to all the Valkyries having exceptionally large breasts compared to normal women. Being able to sustain themselves on those stores for weeks if necessary.
