"This is
the Garden of Kadesh. For thirteen generations we have
protected it from the unclean. The Turanic Raiders who came
before you refused to join and were punished for this
trespass. Like theirs, your ship has already defiled this
holy place. If you have come to join we welcome you and will
spare your ship until all have disembarked. If you have come
to consume the garden you will be removed at once. What are
your intentions?" - Kadeshi Ambassador
The
Kadesh Swarmer is one of the most dangerous fighters
encountered in the Homeworld War; it is 50% faster than the Kushan Scout,
yet it mounts corvette-class guns and is better armored than
a Defender. Unfortunately, it achieves this superior
performance at the expense of fuel capacity, carrying less
than a third as much fuel as a Kushan strike craft. The
Swarmer can remain in combat for only a short time before it
must withdraw and rendezvous with a Fuel Pod.
