Reworked my Batarian Dreadnought so i can make a Size Comparison between the three common ship types frigate, cruiser and dreadnought.The Batarian Hegemony does not trust private industry to create their military hardware. Most batarian military hardware is produced by a corporation called Batarian State Arms, a vast nationalized institution infamous for its waste and corruption. It produces various ship classes that are sold primarily in the Terminus Systems.In direct comparison to the Ships of the Systems Alliance, the Batarian fleet is larger but much weaker. Citadel sanctions have left the Batarian Hegemony a paper tiger of an empire, one that fights rivals through deniable terrorist actions rather than the wars of its heyday centuries ago. By 2160, when colonisation of the Skyllian Verge began, batarian military capacity had apparently weakened to the point that they were unable to prevent human expansion.The Yu'Garr Frigate has been in the service of the Batarian Hegemony for almost a century. Batarian State Arms created the Yu'Garr to be the multirole frigate that the Hegemony could depend on. While this vessel has been constantly upgraded every few decades within the Hegemony, the older versions of this frigate can be found throughout the galaxy in the service of pirates, mercenaries and even the occasional Migrant Fleet ship. The design of the ship is elegantly simple and its slender profile is uncommon for a typical Batarian State Arms warship.The Kes'heel class is the successor of the older Hensa class cruiser. Most of the Hensa class ships were exploited or sold twenty years ago, and since then, the Kes'heel represents the new backbone of the fleet.The Kes'heel was built to be one of their newer models of heavy cruisers for long-term missions, whether it be spec-op behind enemy line missions or just border patrols. With it's weapons consisting of four heavy MAC's (Mass Accelerator Canons), several GARDIAN systems, and three Javelin torpedo tubes, the Kes'heel's armament is pretty impressive.It's speed is also pretty impressive, though due to the heavy armor and weapons it has, it's maneuverability suffers a lot. Rapid evasive maneuvers are virtually impossible.The Batarian Hegemony has possessed dreadnoughts since their break with the Citadel Council. Not any longer bound on the Treaty of Farixen the Batarians tryed to produced as many Dreadnoughts as possible. The first ever constructed one was the Eeluram. It follows the Batarian doctrine of bringing massive, overwhelming firepower to any battle it engages in. Designed to go toe-to-toe with any other dreadnought made, it is a monstrosity of epic proportions.Because of the Citadel sanctions and the loss of the Skyllian Verge to the Alliance, Batarian State Arms increasingly looses resources, which delayed the construction of additional Dreadnoughts. The Batarian propaganda indicates that they have more than six Dreadnoughts, but really confirmed was only the prototype.In the Reaper War, the Batarian fleet is nearly destroyed. Only one fleet survived the main attack on the Batarian Homeplanets. One Dreadnought around a dozen of Frigates and a couple cruiser are left of the Hegemony military.Built and rendered in 3d Max 10Mass Effect is (c) by Bioware & EAWatch more of my Batarian inspired Artworks:
