AGAINST. Colonel Mael Radec he helped plan the invasion of Vekta in 2357 and when the ISA invaded Helghan he lead the defense of Helghan and the Captial Pyrrhus City. He was the founder of Radec Academy, and Scolar Visari's head bodyguard. His planning in the defense of Helghan lead to Thousands if not Millions of ISA Casualties. Both of these guys were famous in their worlds, both were masters of combat, both did not care who they killed or got killed as long as their mission succeded.

Welcome to this Week's Battle Deadliest Fiction Users

On this Week's Battle the Weapons, Abilities, and Soldiers of these Warriors will be brought to life to see Which EVIL AND HATED WARRIOR IS DEADLIEST!

Saren Arterius: The youngest Turian ever to be accepted into the Spectres who would complete his mission no matter how many Innocents died.

OR!

Mael Radec: The famous Helghast Colonel who's brilliant strategies lead to the deaths of thousands of ISA soldiers during the Invasion of Helghan.

Okay Let's Look at these Warriors

Saren Arterius-Following the Turians tradition he joined the Turian Military at the Age of 15. he was promoted to active service after only a year of training. In 2159 he became the youngest turian ever accepted into the Spectres. He was intelligent, he was cunning, and he was capable. Saren quickly developed a reputation for ruthless efficiency for example when Alliance Soldier David Anderson was nominated to be the First Human Spectre the two went on a mission with Saren there to evaluate Anderson, the two were suppose to do their mission stealthly however he abandoned the plan and destroyed the Refinery and killed hundreds of innocent civillians but the Council was still happy he got the job done and Saren destroyed Anderson's chance of becoming a Spectre when he said that he had to blow the Refinery cause Anderson had alerted the guards to their position.

THEN WE HAVE

Mael Radec-When Scolar Visari the founder of the Helghan Empire rose to power, Radec joined the newly formed military. Due to his extremely impressive skills, he quickly rose through the ranks. He was made Colonel for his ruthless leadership and later set up the Radec Academy in Pyrrhus city which was a major icon of the Helghast supremacy because countless soldiers graduate there each year, forming the bulk of the Helghast army. He helped plan the invasion of Vekta in 2357 and worked as an adviser to Visari, While he never took part in the invasion himself he remained behind to train more troops at his academy. Following the death of General Metrac and Lente and Cobar before and the Helghast retreat from Vekta, command of the Helghast forces fell to Colonel Radec, who Visari personally entrusted to protect him. For the next two years, he prepared the defenses of Helghan in anticipation of an invasion from the ISA.

Battle Notes of the Battle
5 vs. 5

Saren and 4 Geth Shock Troopers vs. Radec and 4 Helghast Elite Shock Troopers

Even though the Weapons Saren use are from Mass Effect 1 the Overheat the guns used are not going to be allowed to make it fair and so ammo will be used like any other weapon.

Close Range Weapons
When these two Warriors either lost their main weapon, or ran out of ammo they would resort to their sidearms of choice.

Sarens Sidearm of Choice is

The HMWP Basic Pistol Radec's Sidearm of Choice was
 * Accuracy Rating: 52
 * 14 Rounds
 * Semi-Automatic

The StA-18 Pistol
 * 9.2x20mm cartridge300px-Sta18_pistol.jpg
 * 12 rounds
 * burst-fire feature
 * packs as much punch as an M4 Revolver
 * Semi-Automatic

Personal Close Range Edge
When looking at these two pistols both are Semi-Automatic weapons. The HMWP fires the much more better Thermal Clip compared to the cartridge type the StA-18 fires. However it's burst feature and that it packs a more bigger and powerful punch then the M4 Revovler a powerful Revovler in the Killzone series means that it can penetrate the Kinetic Barrier faster and probably kill Saren faster to.

Edge: Mael Radec

Mid Range Weapons
When the Battle Got Really Close but not close enough for Hand-to-Hand combat these Two Warriors relied on the power of their Shotgun to do the talking.

Saren's Shotgun of choice

The Katana Shotgun For Radec when things got close up his Shotgun of Choice
 * 4 Rounds
 * Accuracy Rating: 70
 * Pump Action

The LS13 Shotgun
 * 8 Rounds
 * Accuracy Rating: 3/10
 * Pump Action
 * Magazine Reload Time: 5.5 sec

Personal Mid Range Edge
When we look at these two Shotguns they are both Pump Action, they both are literally One Shot Kill up close, Both have advantages and disadvantages. The Katana has less rounds but has a high accuracy rating, The LS13 has more rounds but less accuracy ratings I pretty much call this even.

Edge Even



Long Range Weapons
When both Warrios wanted to keep distance between them and their foe both relied on the reliabilty of the Futuristic Assault Rifles of their Time and Universe.

Saren would engage his foes from far away with

The HWMA Master Assault Rifle Radec's Assault Rifle of Choice
 * 52 Rounds a Clip
 * Accuracy Rate: 72
 * Full Auto

The StA-52 Assault Rifle Con: It has a high fire rate but quickly loses accuracy with sustained fire. It has an Iron Sight for greater accuracy, though it lacks the level of accuracy that ISA's M82 delivers.
 * 5.56 x 45 mm cartridge
 * 50 Rounds a Drum
 * Accuracy: 2/5
 * Full Auto

Personal Long Range Edge
When it comes down to these two AR's. The StA-52 has a lot of bad stuff about it. While it has a high rate of fire it quickly loses it's accuracy and it lacks the accuracy that the ISA's M82 has. The HWMA Master has more rounds per clip and better accuracy then the StA-52

Edge Saren Arterius



Special Weapons
Both these Warrios had their own Special Weapon of destructuion that they brought to bear down on their foe.

For Saren his Special Weapon was his Ability

Biotics(Only the Ones Below) For Radec his Special Weapon was a combination of a electrical grenade and fast dealer of death gun
 * Lift
 * Barrier
 * Throw

The StA-3 Light Machine Gun, and Teslite Grenade

StA-3 Teslite Grenade
 * 96 Rounds a drum
 * 7.62 x 51 mm HSO cartridge
 * Radec used a modified LMG with higher power and accuracy
 * petrusite powered device that emits electricity by extracting it from the environment and then releasing it in one big blow.
 * Upon reaching full charge, the grenade zaps anyone and anything in its proximity.
 * keeps emitting electricity for a couple of seconds
 * Fuse Time: 2.3 sec

Personal Special Edge
When looking at these two The Biotic Abilities are good as both an offensive and defensive capabilities. The Lift ability is good as it makes a target helpless, the Throw is good for tossing items at people or imagine Force Pushing them back, and the Barrier acts as a good defense. However when looking at the combination of the StA-3 LMG especially Radec's modified, and the Teslite Grenade it's a good combo but both Specials are good I got to call this Even

Edge Even



Battleground
Battleground Helghan, Pyrrhus City Virmire, Saren's Facility
 * Helghan, Pyrrhus city: Saren and the Geth are their looking for any signs of a hint of the location of the Conduit. (The Geth will be invading Helghan while Saren and 4 Geth Shock Troopers head to the City to ^)
 * Virmire, Saren's facilty: Radec and 4 Surviving Elite Shock Troopers crash land on Virmire near Saren's Facilty and try to capture it so they can find out what to do about the Helghan Empire.

X-Factor Evaluation
When we look at these Warrios we have to look at important Factors like Training, Combat Experience, Psychological Health, and more and so on a scale of 0-100 with 100 be the Ultimate Warrior I will rate these Warrios based on their history.

Saren-Radec

Training

95-90

Edge Saren Arterius: Saren has been training from a much more younger age in the Turian Military plus add in the training he receives from the Spectres. Radec didn't receive any training until the Helghan Empire was created even then he received only regular army training but he like Saren had both shown to have immensly excellent skills in their time of training.

Combat Experience

95-85

Edge Saren Arterius: When we look at these Warriors Saren has been fighting for more years on the frontline as a Spectre fighting against Mercenaries groups, Rebels, anyone who threatened the peace of Citadel Space. Radec did not have any Combat Experience until the Invasion of Helghan but even then he fought through the entire Invasion until he had no choice but to commit suicide when the ISA had reached the Palace and he was mortally wounded.

Intelligence

95-85

 Edge Saren Arterius:  Between these two warrios Saren was more intelligent, he was cunning, and not to mention he was given the history of the Prothean when he interacted with the Prothean Beacons. Radec not so much while he wasn't dumb he didn't have the cunning that Saren had.

Dominance

94-95

Edge Mael Radec: Both of these guys lead others, commanded others fought by others during their time in combat. However when you see Saren's loyalty among his group the Geth were not a problem they followed him but when it came to the organics that he had they would fall under a trance for being near Soveriegn for to long but if they were strong willed like Matriach Benezia then they could resist the indoctrination. The Helghast respected him they would follow him no matter what they were loyal to him.

Discipline

90-100

Edge Mael Radec: Saren wen't AWOL from the Spectres and the Citadel Council. He joined the enemy forces and tried to bring back a race that would of caused Genocide. Radec he remained loyal all the way through the Helghan Empire never betraying them or going AWOL.

<p style="text-align: center;">Extremism

<p style="text-align: center;">100-100

<p style="text-align: center;"> Edge Even:  Both of these Men they did anything they could they would sacrifice anyone and everyone including Innocents and friends to achieve their goal.

<p style="text-align: center;">Generalship

<p style="text-align: center;">85-95

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge Mael Radec: When we see Radec's Generalship skills we see how his Generalship in leading the defense of Helghan resulted in the deaths of thousands of ISA soldiers. Saren's Generalship skills not so much if he has armies being wiped out by a small team of fighters. Who's Generalship caused more death's Radec's who Generalship was more successful Radec's.

<p style="text-align: center;">Intimidation

<p style="text-align: center;">95-95

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge Even: Saren was a Spectre and people feared Spectres especially him because of the way he completed some of his missions. Radec his skills in leading the Helghan defense inspired fear among the ISA soldiers who saw thousands of thier brothers in arms die from Helghast soldiers under his leadership.

<p style="text-align: center;">Psychological Health

<p style="text-align: center;">79-85

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge Mael Radec: When looking at the Psychological Health of these two Radec is healthy for the most part except for his really high devotion to the Helghan Empire even going as far as to commit suicide to avoid being captured by ISA and being tortured for Intel. Saren on the other hand huge health problems, he thinks that he is in control of himself when he is already indoctrinated by Sovereign and he is trying to fight the indoctranation as much as he could but he can not win. He has felt the lost as he lost his brother during the First Contact War Saren is not really psychologicaly healthy.

<p style="text-align: center;">Tactics/Battlefield Strategy

<p style="text-align: center;">85-97

<p style="text-align: center;">Edge Mael Radec: His Battlefield Strategy and Tactics that he used during the invasion of Helghan led to the death of thousands if not millions of ISA casualties. He gave the ISA a fight for Helghan and they made the cost of lots of lives to ensure the defeat of the Helghan Empire, he gave them a HUGE Challenge when they invaded Helghan. Sarens Tactics and Battlefield Strategy on the other hand not that great his tactics depended on where he was it was either defend this area (ie Noveria, Virmire, IIlos.) or attack this planet with full force and overwhelm their defenders (Eden Prime, Feros, The Citadel). More planning was put into Radec's planning of the defense of Helghan.

Personal Edge
This Battle will be close both Warrios are very well even in weapons and X-Factors but by the looks of it. I have to give a slight edge to Mael Radec. He may not have the more technologically advanced firearms but they hit hard and he has the majority of X-Factors including the important ones of Dominance, Discipline, Psychological Health, Generalship, and Tactics/Battlefield Strategy.
