Shepard Quest Mk VII, Age of Revy (ME/MCU)

- Start date
Those loses should be hard to replace, as it takes time to build new ships and train the crews, and with other battles and loses that they have had, its gonna be a long time before they can replace the loses they had in this battle
And if they allied forces can kill of those Millions of ground troops the Batarian have on Torfan, massive blow to them

Well, that's some really horrible attrition. Turians lost nearly half their frigate and cruiser contingents. Given the presences of much smaller loses on the Alliance's side, I think the Turian Navy is probably going to be looking into carriers, fighters, and drones as new fleet elements.
Because while this is a victory, it's a nasty one for a professional military with the kind of pride the Turians have. I imagine quite a few upper-echelon staff are going to be given the opportunity to 'quietly retire in the wake of this successful campaign' given these losses.

Personally I'd prefer the quest to to go on haitus or end rather than be torturously continued if the QM doesn't enjoy it anymore. Especially if someone could then continue it. I mean hasn't this quest already had 4 QMs?
Best Guess, with the assumption that they have (had) a fleet of equivalent size to the Alliance fleet?
Know it would be accurate enough to use long term, but would give us an idea of how big of a defeat this was for them.

just a fleet then.
edit: imagine it like losing a full army stack in total war, its a bad lost, but its not game ending.

I wonder how the Batarian manufacturing base is doing right now. If the Reapers are giving them nudges then improving automation of their shipyards and feeder facilities making components ought to let the Batarians improve their ability to spit out tonnage a fair bit, and with Indoctrination effects I imagine you can instill random civilians with what they need to become spacers allowing them to spit out more ships and crew than anticipated.
Well that was certainly a battle.
Alliance Losses:
39 Upgraded Cruisers (20.6%)
65 Upgraded Frigates (9.2%)
ParSec Losses:
14 Gladius Fighters (23.3%)
68,000 Drones (85%)
Council Losses:
226 Cruisers (45.2%)
2,635 Frigates (52.7%)
177,000 Soldiers (35.4%)
Batarian Losses:
100%
600~ Terminus custom ships (unregistered ship designs, maximum cruiser sized)
2 dreadnoughts
10 Dreadnought Carriers
950~ cruisers
5100~ frigates
The Turians are going to learn lessons from this. Yeah it was an overwhelming victory but they lost 50% of their non-Dreadnoughts to the Alliances' less then 20% and this is despite the Alliance taking the lead and having to fight the Batarians solo until they called the Turians in. Some of this will be put down to the Batarians' suicidal final charge but the fact they were taking heavy losses from the second they entered the battlefield while the Alliance was tanking things from the beginning. This will also bring up questions as to just how powerful is the Systems Alliance? The Allinace sent three fleets into battle where the Turians brought five fleets (individually larger fleets at that) but the Alliance took half the relative losses and a tenth the actual losses.
The Turian commanders now have to be wondering how their troops will compare to the Alliance's once we clear the orbitals and reach the surface.

As much as I would love that I don't think Turian pride would allow for it, there might be pushes from the Hierarchy for us to share tech though and maybe collaboration with a Turian company.
We are not gonna share our tech or collaboration with a Turian company, if they want anything they from us, then they can buy it from us like or ask us for things like the System Alliance does
Also what do people think is gonna have happen to Terminus post war? they as a power should be gone and with Batarian power being gone to, there is nothing stoping the Alliance and Council craving big parts into there faction
poorly they just don't have access to modern ships
Do hope they are in the war and getting kill of, that just means more job for our PMC post war

Something to consider in regards to ground battles on the Batarian's home turf is that they may use their own civilians as human shields to prevent things like orbital bombardments. They don't even need to be obvious about it with their people since they just need to have military outposts extremely close to civilian structures.
At which point I think that the power armor divisions would really shine here. Since they would work as super precise living tanks and aircraft. Especially for our most advanced power armor divisions under PA.

Don't remember if I suggested this before but have you considered having more QMs or even having the players themselves help with updates and the numbers? Because that seems like it would solve a lot of problems and just make things easier for everyone. Also saves a lot of hassle in needing to start a new thread all the time for Shepard quest.

Not just hiding behind civilians; they were already a slaver state with bomb implants. With the reapers propping them I'll expect they'll be churning out waves of horrifying slave armies of innocents and other such atrocities.

I wouldn't paint it as just a "pride" issue, it's a valid security concern. Supplying sophisticated military materials is not the kind of thing that a major military power can just outsource to a foreign nation. Because such things aren't just a one and done deal: there are maintenance contracts and Fabrication Rights Management involved. Even if Paragon Industries is a respected and dependable company, even if Alliance-Hierarchy relations are decent right now, the Turians still have to consider the possibility that if relations between the Alliance and the Hierarchy sour badly enough, the Alliance can (attempt to) pass laws that would force PI to suspend military exports and maintenance contracts with the Hierarchy. And then the Hierarchy would be stuck with a bunch of advanced ships and other equipment that can't get proper maintenance and start rapidly suffering from attrition as a result. And to some extent, it might even become a self-fulfilling prophecy: just the possibility of interfering with the continued functioning of a significant portion of their fleet maintenance would give the Alliance a significant way to pressure the Hierarchy diplomatically, which is too big of a lever for the Hierarchy to simply give to the Alliance.
