I have an idea for a Fan-Fiction story that takes place just a few years after the Geth rebellion. Anyway, does anyone know what types of ships the Quarians have in their fleet, like what classes there are and things like that?
Also, does anyone know when the pilgrimage was developed? I was thinking about putting my main character on that first group of Qaurians, so it would be much appreciated if anyone could tell me when the first pilgrimage was, or if that has never really been said.
I'm probably just over analyzing these things (especially the ship part), but I just feel that that would give my writing a better sense of fitting into the ME universe.
Thanks.

That's a pretty damn good question. Personally, I see the Migrant Fleet as being similar to the fleet humanity had in the new version of Battlestar Galactica, albiet on a much larger scale. Not sure how much that helps.

Courtesy of the Mass Effect Wiki. Take it with the large grain of salt it requires. "In the early years, many quarian freighters were armed and used as irregular "privateers." Civilian ships still show a strong preference for armament, making them unpopular targets for pirates. Though they have rebuilt their military, there are still mere hundreds of warships to protect the tens of thousands of ships. The quarian navy follows strict routines of patrol, and takes no chances. If the intent of an approaching ship can't be ascertained, they shoot to kill." From this I figure that many of the Quarian combat ships are actually modified civilian ships. Especially in the early years. Most or even all Quarian ships are armed but the real important food and air producing ships would be kept out of harms way. The lore doesn't have much to say on it other than many of the Quarian ships date back to the Geth Rebellion. The tech would be outdated on even the newest ships. masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Quarian

I have actually read that article already, but I was hoping for more specific types of ships (i.e. Marathon class crusier from the Halo series), but thanks for your help Jklinders. But since they are most civilian class I guess I could just make up some names (probably my least favorite part of writing). Also CAPT Issac R. Madden, any input is helpful, thank you. I guess I could just create the first pilgrimage myself, if there's no information on that.

I guess you can also write about how the refugees dashed for the ships all ove rthe Quarian star system and they blind jumped someplace while the few heroes stayed behind to fight off the Geth?

That is also an idea. My story takes place a few years after, but everyone on the fleet should still remember the evacuation, so I could have a part of the story talk about that. In fact I just might, though I would need to work that in, but thanks for the idea.

Somehow, I'm seeing images of a ship like the Millenium Falcon or Serenity: mostly sound, but very temperamental. lol
