Spoiler for Research on Valkryia like Selvaria:

Only thing the game hints is with the scientists looking to artificially create Valkryia power.

Now your suggestion with the Rat Patrol could work. In fact, I like it. Way better than my idea of "Max traveling around the world to look for artifacts that would bolster his position as future king of the Imperial Alliance and with Far East warriors sent to assassinate him."
