The Geth Battleship-008 Class (abbreviated GBS-008 Class Battleship) was a classification of battleship that served in the Geth Navy and the Geth Heretic Navy from 2097 CE to mid-2185 CE. Succeeding the GBS-007 class, this class of battleship was designed to deal massive amounts of damage to the enemy as well as to be capable of harassing enemy dreadnoughts. Because of this, it was one of the most heavily-armed and armoured classes of geth warship, possessing a vast arsenal of hard-hitting weaponry. It was also designed for orbital bombardment, and possessed a number of weapons to do so, including the precursor to the Earthsplitter, the Titanhammer. These combat capabilities were barely observed during the Eden Prime War. While one was spotted during the Battle of Virmire, two were part of the Battle of the Citadel, in which they managed to deal massive damage to the CDF before being destroyed by the Alliance reinforcements.
The geth heretics lost all their battleships after the Battle of the Citadel.
