Batarian Cruiser

Finished my version of a Batarian Cruiser from the Mass Effect Universe.

Class Kes'heel
Type: Cruiser
Length: 661 m
Crew: 400

For the last couple of decades, the Batarian Hegemony has been conspiciously quiet. The reason is that as it has been disguising its ailing economy and its inadequate military and they have been building their naval assets with a renewed fervor. Not longer bound to the Treaty of Farixen, the Batarians renew lots of their ships, including Cruisers and Dreadnoughts.
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.

Designed by the Hegemony, 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 Kes'heel also has room for small shuttles and fighters in it. A squadron of six Interceptors, two Bombers and four Dropshuttles makes this ship good for planetary assaults.

The Kes'heel also possesses optical camouflage as well as a stealth system. The system does not use internal emission sinks or a particular drive core. Instead upon activating its optical camouflage the computer switches off main power and disengages a number of systems to decrease power usage and heat buildup including main engines and active sensors.
