We’ll start out the total Tobari page with their badge insignia.  I would like to have a vote to decide which Tobari badge is the best.

One of three original ship concepts released by Relic for the Tobari.  Modeled by Starscream from the original concept it has a  preliminary texture by chris80502 which surprisingly turned out to have a similar stripe as the dustwars team idea.

Tobari Fighter:  Concept design and model by The KC.  Model is in game and can be

built from the Tobari Carrier in the Homeworld Universe mod.  The textures are by chris80502 and are still WIP.

The Turtle: A concept by Relic.  Though not an official concept for the Tobari it seems quite fitting for the teams Interceptor fighter.  The model is currently in progress by Starscream.

Original concept art from Relic.

This is a concept posted/drawn(?) by Guelph from the Homeworld2: Dustwars Pre-beta v0.2 forum thread.

These two images are shots from in-game with the background edited out.

Another screen grab from the game.

Here is a shot from Wings3d, without guns.

Another of the many references to the Tobari race, Tobar their homeworld is located across the core from Hiigara.  Marked out in red for the ease of the viewer, these should be helpful for writers preparing storylines or mission ideas.

Designed by Norsehound, this section of a new version of the Homeworld galaxy once again clearly shows the location of Tobar in comparison to Hiigara.

Here is a direct link to Norsehounds Homeworld Universe galactic map thread.

These images are of a proposed Stiletto Ion Array Frigate, designed and modeled by the Dustwars team, all we have are these images of the original WIP model.  We are trying to retrieve the original model at this time.

Tobari concept destroyer model and screenshots by doci7.

This carrier is one of the concepts released by Relic.  HWU is using the model directly below as our working in-game version right now - this version is by Starscream.  Though nice we do wish to acquire the WIP carrier from the Dustwars mod below.

Right:  Two shots from Wings3d for the carrier promo.

This model by Guelph is featured on the Dustwars thread of the Relicnews forums.  We are currently trying to obtain this model as WIP models were not part of the Dustwars donation to the Homeworld Universe mod group.

This ship has quite a nice look to it, it feels very Tobari.  Although we already have a destroyer, maybe this concept could serve as a frigate or a light destroyer.

In the Dustwars documents as an Artillery Frigate it looks more like a station or shipyard to me.  Original designs indicate counter rotating drive systems.

Listed as an Attack Frigate it looks as if the scale is more fitting for a corvette.  Maybe better yet, a scout, it does look a little too “raptor-ish” from BSG.

Another interesting design is this Heavy Corvette.  I get a general feel that this one might be better for the T-Mat race.

Known as a Hiigaran Minelayer, one can see clearly the style is from the same idea as the Tobari gunship.  This should make for a nice missile corvette, or even a minelayer - though the HW2 minelayer is not a very effective unit.
