Description For comic reference just in case if I forgot the setting

I kinda drew in a way that only I understand... yeah.

These babes are all obsidian black with turquoise glows like those prothean memory stuffs we've seen in the game.


[ Penumbra Apex ]
Class: Apex Class Dreadnought
Total Length: 2500 m
Displacement Tonnage: 7,000,000 tons
Background Information
Penumbra Apex was the Flagship of Flarunium Realm and the symbol of its military triumph
It stayed within the Realm since creation and was never debuted in the Citadel Space
It became the Flagship of Flaruniss Fleet and realm governance during the Prothean Reaper War
It has an advanced built-in Stealth System and its armor was covered with a layer of semi-reflective material. The semi-reflective material was to prevent its massive size revealed from plain visual, and ended up giving it a blurred silhouette when seeing it against an imminent light source, thus fitting the name "Penumbra".
However, highly trained individuals could still sense its presence through their Clairvoyance ability.
Main Artillery
2 Buster Class mass accelerating pulse canons serves as the major heavy weapon at the front of the ship
1 Quasar Class mass accelerating particle cannon used in only certain conditions (it eats up 75% of the total power per round)
Quasar Class cannon's firepower was capable of decimating a stellar body about 2/3 the mass of the Earth (through means of penetrating the planet's core). It was the weapon used to trigger the Rachni's Sun into supernova, and was used only once during the Prothean Reaper War.
Headcanon:
Vahana was the Admiral of the Fleet, so she dwelt on this ship.
Teishen was appointed Admiral of Penumbra Apex by Vahana after she has been rescued from Vessala.


[ Halycon Eclipse ]
Class: Eclipse Class Battle-cruiser/Eclipse Class Carrier
Total Length: 900 m
Displacement Tonnage: 1,950,000 tons
# of ships at service: 65
Background Information
Eclipse Class Battle-cruisers were used for planetary offences before the Prothean Reaper War
The predecessors of these multi-purpose starships were first introduced during the Prothean Rachni War, they can be served as Battle-cruisers and Fighter Carriers depending on the customization.
The Eclipse Class was the 6th rendition of the original design and was installed with a lesser version of the Apex Class Dreadnought's artillery.
Naming Schemes
Battle-cruisers were named after honorable Archknights, Halycon was one of the legendary Knightmasters existed 20000 years ago who had helped the first Emperor to establish the Flarunium Realm.
Carriers were named after notable queens or female figures of the Prothean Empire.


[ Aphelion Beta ]
Class: Aphelion Class Destroyer, Beta Model
Total Length: 400 m
Displacement Tonnage: 85,000 tons
# of ships at service: 80
Background Information
Aphelion Class Destroyers were high-speed battleships designed to fit for inter-stellar mobilizations. They were able to fly at 20x FTL speed at cruise speed.
Naming Schemes
Destroyers were named after honorable soldiers/warriors of the Flarunium Realm. These names were called "Spirit-names", and were valued as a manifestation to the warrior seen as guardian spirits to the ships. Spirit-names were known only by the lineage of its Captains.
Headcanon:
Javik later became a Captain of one of these babes, his ship's Spirit-name was Keliks, a Sergeant Major who bravely defended his home planet against a race of hostile aliens.

It can be bought on GOG.com for 5 bucks. I totally recommend it, though Magic Carpet 2 is better

Upload it in scraps and link it to die-hard fans like me, please. *kneels down*
I got the inspiration from sandwiches and pancakes, I'm serious, really.

StellarStateLogic In reply to Laitiel [2012-05-13 19:50:32 +0000 UTC]

Aww, okay.
Like I can't draw tight technical drawings for mech designs either. Because it's going to be in the 3rd strip... so it's kinda like a head notice. Anyway, I'm just being super shameless in uploading this thing.

Laitiel In reply to StellarStateLogic [2012-05-13 22:31:44 +0000 UTC]

Well, why not. Concepts are always fun to draw and fun to share (if they dont suck ass as mine, lol)

Heh, T as the admiral of Penumbra Apex? Interesting.. in my headcanon she actually does get a ship later in the story

StellarStateLogic In reply to Laitiel [2012-05-13 22:40:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh god this is freaking, eh, co...coincidental?
She's going to bust people's ass in the 3rd strip, like the girls are having so much fun that even I'm starting to wonder when will it be Javik's turn to rock the stage....

Laitiel In reply to StellarStateLogic [2012-05-13 22:46:00 +0000 UTC]

Lol that happens (you wouldnt known about my headcanon story anyway, i havent posted anything apart from the strips and random snippets.)
But being an Admiral on Penumbra Apex...? That's majorly cool. And I think she'd do great,..she's a good leader (years of babysiting a colony heh)
Hehehe cant wait! that will be interesting. Aww poor Javik, his time will come
