Earth Alliance Warlord Class Advanced Dreadnought

Note: This is a joke ship from the mind of Dask. It is actually less real than all of the April Fool's ships, all the Christmas Ships, and the ISD combined.

 

Warlord Class History

Contrary to popular belief amongst the Younger Races, the First Ones did not immediately head for the Rim and beyond after the Battle of Coriana 6. Oh no! They stuck around for ten or fifteen years (two or three minutes from their perspective) and just watched. Truth be told, they were all intensely curious to know what the Younger Races would actually DO without them. Things quickly got out of hand, however, when the Torvalus began placing bets, the Mindriders hitched rides in the heads of several key figures, and the Walkers started to scan everything in sight. Fearing the Vorlons and Shadows wouldn't want to leave their eons-old playground, Lorien finally asked firmly, but nicely (as he is wont to do with his favorite children), for them all to leave.

But not before the last of the Kirishiac Lords did what Lorien had been really hoping none of them would do. He directly interfered. He liked the new Warlock destroyers of that scrappy young Earth Alliance bunch and just couldn't help himself. He just had to go and make his own version and leave it behind as a final parting gift the galaxy of his birth.

And so it was that the Warlord was born. Aside from the remains of Kosh Ulkesh's transport and some random bits of Shadow technology, the Warlord is one of the very last pieces of Ancient technology left in the galaxy today. It is owned and operated by the same branch of Earth Force that created the Shadow Hybrid and is kept in ultra-secret super-secure surroundings as it is actually stable and fully functional and Earth Force desperately wants to save it as an ultra-last resort weapon should they ever need it. It truly is a marvel of First One design and engineering as it actually tested the last of tue Lords of Kirish's design abilities to the extreme when he built it. He wanted it to be a crowning glory and achievement and so it is.
