Indomitable

The Indomitable was a Turian Dreadnought Warship specifically desgined to combat the Reapers. Originally drawn up as a massive warship designed to crush Turian Terrorist cells, the Indomitable was almost withdrawn following several damaging strikes against it by Turians. However, when the threat of the Reapers emerged thanks to evidence brought back by the SSV Normandy, the Indomitable was scaled down massively and fitted with suitable armaments to penetrate Reaper shielding.

The Indomitable joined three other Dreadnoughts in the defence of Palaven but was pushed back by the Reapers as Palaven was taken. Despite the fact that the disheartened Turian fleet had to retreat from Palaven, they did so with such efficiency that few of their warships were damaged. Quickly drawing up a counterattack, the Indomitable slipped in near one of Palaven's moons and faked a problem with its drive core. The Indomitable's three support dreadnoughts immediately emerged from slipspace to assist the Indomitable, and the Reaper fleet moved in to attack the ships, unable to resist such weak targets. Taking advantage of this distraction, the Turian Insurrection managed to detonate hidden mines that had been stowed away in ruined starships around Palaven, which decimated the Reaper Fleet.

Meanwhile, the Turian Military sent landing craft onto the surface of Palaven. Underestimating the threat of this attack massively, the Reapers only sent a minor defence force to repel the invaders, which were quickly repelled. After being attacked on three fronts, the Reapers suffered yet another critical blow when the Indomitable powered up its weapons and destroyed the Reaper Attack Force sent to destroy it and its dreadnought escorts. News of the victory on Palaven (that was quickly dubbed the 'Miracle at Palaven') spread across the Tri-Council like wildfire. The Indomitable's tactic soon became a common strategy to use against Reapers and the weaponry on the Indomitable was shared with the rest of the Galaxy as it was effective against Reaper Shielding.
