During the last months of the [[Third West Scipian War#Cease-fire|cease-fire of the Third West Scipian War]], the [[Roth regime]] invited [[Tarsas]] to build {{wp|military base}}s in strategic locations to deter [[Sydalon]] from renewing its offensive into [[Yisrael]]. The Tarsan government accepted and agreed to build several bases, the first of which would become the Valkryon air base.
During the last weeks of its construction, the cease-fire collapsed and [[Yisrael]] and [[Sydalon]] renewed the final phase of the Third War. During the 7-month campaign, the [[Royal Yisraeli Air Force]] used the mostly-complete air fields to garrison and deploy {{wp|interceptor}}s and {{wp|fighter-bomber}}s to establish {{wp|air superiority}} over the western theater of the war.
After the decisive Yisraeli victory, the sudden death of the king aroused public suspicion that General Roth was planning to create a {{wp|totalitarian}} regime and the [[Year of Blood|Second Yisraeli Civil War]] broke out in 1950. Underground communist forces with wide support in [[Ashkelon]] seized control of the air base during the early fighting. It was later taken by troops under the royalist flag.
In 1952, [[Imperial Air Legion (Tarsas)|Tarsan forces]] took control of the facilities and moved their Yisrael command and air wing onto the premises.
During the outbreak of the [[Fourth West Scipian War]] in the mid-1960s, Tarsan and Yisraeli air squadrons deployed from the base to support a successful infantry and armored defense of the western theater.

The garrison at Valkryon consists of a full Cohort of Tarsan troops as well as a bomber regiment and two fighter regiments. The unusually heavy concentration of air power is a left over deployment from past wars when Tarsan squadrons successfully defended Yisraeli air space countless times. Despite the large number of aircraft maintained in Yisrael, the [[Imperial Air Legion (Tarsas)|Imperial Air Legion]] staffs roughly half the pilots necessary and relies on assistance from Yisraeli pilots operating aircraft on lease agreements. Similarly, maintenance and repairs are conducted by Yisraeli as well as Tarsan crews to cut down on the costs of maintaining such a large fleet of aircraft. Aerial refueling aircraft and other logistics transportation is provided by the [[Royal Yisraeli Air Force]].
