935, The Strange Selurite Fleet
As the battle in the Eriadu system officially erupted, on April 19, Roan Shryne led the Republic fleet from Ayatu 6 Planet to attack Tibrin, where they exchanged fire with the defending Selurite fleet.
The Selurite fleet was centered around three 1,049-meter Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruisers, supplemented by five 296-meter Dominator-class drone motherships, ten 288-meter Enforcer-class heavy destroyers, and thirty 77-meter Executioner-class heavy frigates.
The Selurites actually had warships of their own, but the corresponding records in the mothership database were fragmentary and incomplete. After all, Mass Effect had never provided detailed settings for those vessels. However, after obtaining the complete EVE Online Amarr Empire warship database technology from Tang Xiao, they found that entire database series very much to their taste and chose Amarr Empire warships as their own developmental direction.
The drones currently carried aboard these warships were also the widely used Vulture droid fighters of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. These droid fighters had decent combat efficiency, and like B-1 battle droids, they were simply available in overwhelming quantities.

Therefore, although the Selurites had completed research into the Amarr Empire's accompanying Acolyte-I type light drones, they still adopted Vulture droid fighters in large numbers for the sake of supply convenience.
Only a small number of Acolyte-I type light drones were equipped in this fleet, mainly for the purpose of collecting live combat data.
In terms of scale, the Selurite fleet was at a complete disadvantage against a Republic fleet with eight Hunter Class Battlecruisers and two Acclamator-class assault ships.
Yet once the battle began, the Republic fleet suffered enormously against this utterly unfamiliar force!
The Selurites launched swarms of Vulture droid fighters, plunging into a chaotic melee with the Republic
