Meanwhile, the official artwork and extrapolating from there, will be used to determine ship sizes for anything smaller: microships (the Swarmer drone, the Leech stealth drone, and the Sentinel craft), interceptors, corvettes, and unmanned sensor probes.Ī link to a PDF version of the Cataclysm manual:Īnd here is the Cataclysm manual line that I will be using for the Homeworld capital ship scaling, with the relevant detail in bold lettering:įinally, the initial effective attack ranges for Homeworld ships will be greater than what is shown in gameplay, but will stop just short of the maximum initial effective attack ranges of Mass Effect ships, due to not having Element Zero. Homeworld will use capital ship sizes derived from the Homeworld Cataclysm manual: the Mothership, the Kuun-Lan, heavy cruisers, carriers, destroyers, and frigates. Mass Effect will use ship sizes and attack ranges as documented in its Codex.

The crossover events will begin before the events of Mass Effect 1, but after the First Contact War between the human Systems Alliance, and the turians. On the Mass Effect side, the Turian Hierarchy won't be starting a 'First Contact War' between the Homeworld races, and the Mass Effect Citadel races. However, the Bentusi may take interest in what takes place during the events of this crossover. The Progenitors won't exist here, either. The 'revised' fluff and lore from Homeworld: Remastered will be ignored here the Kushan Mothership hyperspace drive is still a feat of reverse engineering here, and not due to finding a 'plot coupon hyperspace core' and plugging it in. The turians were responsible for deploying the genophage against the krogan and misunderstandings with humans led to the First Contact War, though humans and turians have since become cordial, if not close, allies.The beginning of the story, would take place around 5 years after the end of the Beast War. Galactic events and their military doctrine have left lingering resentments between turians and some species. In the Andromeda Initiative, the military training all turians undergo allows them to fill many vital civic and security roles, but many have also enrolled for entrepreneurial or diplomatic training to be better-rounded colonists. Turian society once relied on client species like the volus to build their economy and trade.

They subsequently served as the peacekeeping arm of the Citadel Council and commanded the largest fleet in the Milky Way. Turians earned their place in galactic society after their actions in ending the Krogan Rebellions. Renowned as "men of action," the turians have a militaristic culture revolving around public service.
