Valhalla is the capital city of Elysium. Founded in 2160 CE as the first colony on the then-newly colonized Elysium, Valhalla became the capital of the planet, and quickly the largest colony in the entirety of the Systems Alliance. Comparative in size to New York City back on Earth, Valhalla was the largest interstellar city in the Alliance, second only to Scott on Terra Nova, and its colonial guard contingent is one of the largest and most well equipped of the colonies as well. The city came under siege during the Battle of Elysium in 2176 CE, and it wouldn't be until 2182 CE when all the damage was repaired. The city was once again decimated by the Reaper War, where it would take another decade to recover entirely, although in this time the city expanded even more, finally eclipsing Scott by 2240 CE. The city saw intense fighting in its streets when Elysium declared for the DDF in January 2253 CE, with the city remaining embroilled in constant violence and conflict until April.
Valhalla has continued to remain the Coalition's largest interstellar city in the decades following the Dominion Civil War, and one of its largest industrial centers. The New Valhalla colony in Andromeda was named after it.
