Ghakaraga-Class Carrier
The Ghakaraga-Class Carrier is a relatively new design of warship. The idea of fighter carrying warships wasn't new to the Turian Hierarchy, but the idea of a warship with fighters as it's main armament was new. Once the Mutual Arms Treaty was signed, the Hierarchy were more than happy to share design details of their Gannett-class Frigate in exchange for the design details of the Systems Alliance Einstein-Class Carrier. The Systems Alliance used the Gannett-class Frigate to develop a whole new generation of warships and the Hierarchy used the Einstein-Class Carrier to develop their own Carrier

Tusk-class Fighter/Interceptor
Developed after humanity joined the galactic community. Getting it's name from its upside down horn-like appearance.
Like the human fighter, the Tusk-class, featured brackets for Disruptor torpedo tubes, these were located on the back of the fighter's main body.
Along with the concept of the Space superiority fighter, humanity also introduced the concept of dedicated Fighter Carriers with fighters as the primary armament. Though the Turian Hierarchy did adopt this interesting idea, they still possessed spacious hanger bays in their Cruisers and Dreadnoughts that predated the First Contact War and the introduction of humanity.
Heirex Dropships
Resembling a large fighter jet, the Turian Hierarchy Heirex Dropship is used as a troop transport and gunships
The dropship possess 2 primary thrusters at the back for propulsion and 4 vertical thrusters to allow the vehicle to hover.
It is armed with 4 rocket launched and 1 twin chin mounted Mass Accelerator Machine gun
The Troop compartment can carry 1 Draxus MBT or 2 Ventrus CSVs as well as 10 troops into combat
Draxus Main Battle Tank
A 2 manned heavy combat vehicle. The largest ground based vehicle in use in Council space. Its a silver, sharp edged tank with 2 treads and a turreted 220mm Mass Accelerator cannon. A tactical VI means that the only job of the gunner is to point and shoot. All other operations aside from driving are automated.
Due to the size if the tank, the vehicle is too heavy to be airdroped, however, its turret and treads can be retracted, allowing it to easily be stored on a dropship.
Ventrus Combat Support Vehicle
Meant to serve as an escort for the Draxus MBT. The Ventrus is a lightly armored silver jeep with the same sharp edge design as most Hierarchy vehicles. Armed with a turreted 30 mm Mass Accelerator Machine gun at the back. The machine gun features a metal guard to protect the gunner from return fire. There is space for a driver, passenger and gunner.
Like the Draxus, the Ventrus is not airdrop capable and is typically carried aboard a dropship
