Resolute

The Resolute was a Turian Carrier and Flagship of the defence fleet of Theta-765, one of the three Turian outposts attacked by the Dalek Empire during the Dalek-Turian War. The ship was deployed as a last resort during the battle, since most of the Turian ships had already been annihilated. The Dalek Command Saucer moved in to terminate the ship personally, and the communication systems of the ship were destroyed by Daleks as a security measure to prevent the location of the Dalek Command Saucer from being uncovered to the Asari Fleet on the other side of the planet.

The Daleks, well aware of the dangers, moved in to dock with the Turian command vessel in order to capture Turian leaders and possibly download battle plans from their enemies. However, the Turians has a backup plan. They activated the ship's auto-destruct sequence and released an Electromagnetic Pulse which spread to the Dalek Command Saucer, lapsing its communication protection systems and momentarily disabling its shields.

This lapse in communication protection revealed the location of the Dalek Command Saucer to the Asari, who immediately moved in to concentrate heavy fire on the Dalek ship. As the ship prepared to return fire, the Resolute exploded, gutting the Dalek Command Saucer and obliterating the Dalek Boarding Craft that were leaving the ship to attack the Asari. FIfteen Turian escape pods were picked up by the Asari fleet, but less than 40% of the crew made it out alive. The sacrifice of the Resolute was a turning point in the battle, decapitating the Dalek leadership and allowing the Asari to help retake the planet.
