Story
Taking place during the Second Europan War, Valkyria Chronicles III focuses on Gallian Army Squad 442, also known as "The Nameless". The Nameless are a penal military unit composed of deserters, criminals, and military offenders whose real names are erased from the records and thereon referred to by numbers. Ordered by the Gallian military to perform the most dangerous missions and dirty work that the Regular Army and Militia will not do, they are nevertheless up to the task, exemplified by their motto, "Altaha Abilia" ("Always Ready" in Latin.)
The main characters, Kurt Irving (Number 7), a disgraced army officer who wishes to redeem himself, Imuka (Ace Number 1), a Darcsen Heavy Weapon specialist who seeks revenge against the Valkyrian who destroyed her home, and Riela Marceris (Number 13), a young woman who unknowingly is a descendant of the Valkyria, are tasked to fight against a mysterious Imperial unit known as "Calamity Raven".
