This VT-1C Commercial Valkyrie was owned and operated by Graham Hoyly. Previously, Graham had operated an older VF-1A Valkyrie along with his wife Maria Velasquez-Hoyly. Sadly, Maria perished in an accident that also seriously damaged the VF-1A. After Graham became giant-sized, he could no longer pilot his VT-1C and built his own suit of powered armor. The VT-1C remained stored inside his garage. In 2047, Nekki Basara made use of Graham's VT-1C to participate in the galaxy whale migration on the planet Zola. Sadly, this VT-1 Valkyrie also suffered extensive damage during a galaxy whale encounter, though Basara was fortunate enough to be rescued by Liza Hoyly, an officer with the Zolan Galactic Whale patrol unit.
