In 1E HtV, Task Force: VALKYRIE was, in reality, vampires funded USA project. This have problems with credibility of this idea as vamps in Requiem are much more localized and a) Do not have those kind of means at their disposal, b) They do not have enemies outside of their 'home city', more or less. So this idea behind TFV was much flawed.
Now, with all the talks about Kickstarter preview of HtV 2E, we found very good idea, in my POV, to making Task Force: VALKYRIE as Cryptocracy Faction council project. It has ssssoooo much sense in CoD universe. Remembering for those that do not know, Cryptocracy is Contagion reaction crossover group that supports stability of humanity and ruling over it, implying that chaos leads to next strains of Contagion - various supernatural plagues that who torment monsters and humanity in different parts of the universe. Cryptocracy are all monsters that wants to have stability, order and to rule of humanity. It's much more fractured from Camarilla of Requiem of old, but it's the closest we have to it. Invictus are natural members, just like Seers, Guardians or even Silver Ladder, from Mage - or Winter or Autumn changelings, for example. ( And many, many more 'socially active' monsters. ) As it's cross faction alliance fighting unnatural sickness of the world, it has more the reasons, pull and motives to create TFV compared to Invictus alone.
With TFV folding in it's self the Barret Comission and Division 6 in 2E HtV, it has even more reason to do so. Especially as Division 6 is Seers produced group that is canonically now part of TFV, so crossovers of various government sanction monsters is already in line. I really think that whole HtV gameline will blossom from this idea alone.
And I really want to thank author of this fan idea - glamourweaver - for it!
