Retribution is a dreadnought spacecraft manufactured by the United Empire of Earth (UEE) military in cooperation with multiple major manufacturers. Designed to counter Vanduul Kingships, the Retribution is the largest type of capital ship used by the UEE military. It was codenamed Project Ouadeen during its development period.
Initially started in SEY 2931, the project proved too costly and was put on hold multiple times in order to acquire more funding. The project was resurrected in the wake of the Battle of Vega II and in 2946, the first completed Retribution was assigned to the 65th Battle Group under the command of Admiral Ernst Bishop.
