These small vehicles are commonplace.  They feature docking mechanisms to add
various cargo modules and perform jobs around the cargo bay of Babylon 5.  They
are able to transport hazardous materials to storage facilities off station or
refuel other ships, depending on their configuration.

Tractor Beams
Energy Radiation Shield
Artificial Gravity

      These are very representative of the Centauri design ethic, which is to
      say it has many avian characteristics.  There are many wings and lots of
      decorative trim on the ship.  There are no sections that rotate, and it
      appears that they are equipped with artificial gravity.  They are equipped
      with energy weapons, and some have had mass drivers installed.  The
      cruiser has a docking bay that houses a small transport. (cs, lt)  THese
      ships include the one that carried the Emperor to B5, and the Valerian.

Mass Drivers:
      The Centauri use of mass drivers flauts all previously signed conventions,
      and it appears (cf. "And Now for a Word," where the Centauri are
      discovered using Babylon 5 to transport mass drivers and energy weapons)
      that they have been planning this kind of assault on the Narn homeworld
      for some time.  A mass driver uses a heavy object (such as a small
      asteroid) launched from orbit toward a planet's surface at low speed. As
      it falls through the planet's gravity well it gains considerable momentum.
      On impact the immediate area becomes a crater, realistically, throwing up
      *hideous* amounts of smoke, dust and debris; an observer on the surface
      wouldn't see much of anything, as the sun would quickly be blotted out,
      causing something like a nuclear winter.
      A treaty among all the aligned words outlawed the use of mass drivers as
      a weapon of war, similar to the Earth treaties outlawing the use of
      chemical and biological weapons.

The Centauri fighter is analogous to a stylized raptor, and has at least two main
gun emplacements.  The overall shape is that of an arc, with the cockpit in the
center and the wings angling downward.  There is no rotational gravity, and it
appears this ship is extremely maneuverable, and is able to perform high g
maneuvers in combat tactics (with AI programmed to take over if pilot blacks
out).

The liner is purple, and has a main disk that houses the bridge. Two struts
extend out from the rear of the disk, and harbor the engines along with vertical
wings.  It can accommodate several passengers, has no rotational gravity and
needs a jump gate to enter hyperspace.

This small craft is comparable to the EA shuttle, except that it is purple and
the two wings are arced upwards slightly.  It has landing thrusters and lights. 
It is capable of vertical take off and landing.  It can travel both in space and
an atmosphere, and has no rotational gravity.         It appeared in the episode
A Voice In the Wilderness, Part II.

This menacing ship has a sharp, beak like bridge, and four wings.  These wings
are arranged in a plus sign configuration, and point forward like talons.  It has
at least one independently targetable cannon, and four main engines, fore and
aft.  It lacks rotational gravity.  Several of these ships appeared in the
episode The Coming of Shadows.

This is a moderate sized destroyer-class ship with an oblong rear portion, lit
with a pulsing pattern of red and yellow.  The rest of the fighter is grey.  It
has two wings, angled to give the ship a "/\/\" shape when viewed from the front.

On the ventral side of the fighter is a large, cannon-like cylinder attached to
the ship by a short pylon.  Around the cockpit are at least two cannons, and each
wing has two cannons.  A third cylinder on each wing may be a warhead launcher. 
It has an  unspecified drive system. (dw) 

They can only operate in space.

The Earth Alliance has a small fleet of huge Explorer-class ships that travel out
on the rim of known space, mapping new systems and installing new jump
gates/Vortex Generators so that more specialized scout ships follow later to
perform detailed or specific surveys of these newly opened systems.
An extremely LARGE ship (almost 8 kms long), designed to spend years at a time
out of reach with any base.  It is divided into 3 areas (hangar, rotating life
section, and engines.)  The Hangar section has at least two large hangars and
three or more smaller ones.  It carries a number of scout ships that can operate
for some time on their own.  They are capable of making their own jumppoints. 
These ships are few in number and rarely seen.(ds)

One of the most awesome craft in the Babylon 5 universe, the Minbari war cruiser
looks similar to the shell-like growth on Minbari heads.  It has cloaking
technology that prevents EA ships from locking on to it.  It has a massive fore
weapons array that can precisely target small craft, and can obliterate a Star
Fury with one shot.  The cruiser has four tractor beam emitters around its hanger
bay, and can tow ships into it.  Many fighters and flyers can be stored in the
hanger, which is located beneath the primary weapons array.  The cruiser has
three wings, one dorsal and two angled ventral wings, making it resemble some
deadly species of aquatic life.  The rear of the craft is a large, teardrop fin,
which houses the propulsion systems.  The war cruiser has artificial gravity, and
a holographic chamber that assists in battle assessment.

The Minbari fighter utilizes a stealth mechanism that prevents EA ships from
locking on to it.  The fighters have a center cylinder with three wings sprouting
off them in 120 degree angles.  Each wing has a smaller wing along the far end,
forming a "T" shape.  Around the center cylinder are three cannons that shoot
beams of energy. The fighters are extremely fast and maneuverable, and can easily
destroy a Star Fury. They have been reported as traveling into combat at 12kps.

      reported as traveling into combat at 12kps. (sf,pd,gr)

Frasi Class Heavy Fighter:
      The Narn equivalent to the Star Fury, the heavy fighter appears to be the
      main offensive ship employed by the Narn.  It has at least two cannons,
      and is aerodynamically streamlined.  This could simply reflect the Narn
      aesthetic, or could mean the fighter is capable of atmospheric flight. 
      Two Narn fighters did enter the upper atmosphere of Sigma 9-5-7 in (mw).

      This is a colossal ship.  On each side of its flat, rectangular midsection
      are two taller sections.  These sections house the main thrusters of the
      craft.  In front of the midsection is the bridge.  There are no rotating
      sections, so the personnel in the ship either have artificial gravity or
      exist in microgravity.

     (Narn Colony: Quadrant 14):
      This station was enormous.  The center of the station held a small dome,
      and from that sprouted three segments that were somewhat rectangular. 
      Docked to one segment was a Narn war ship.  The station had no rotational
      gravity.  It was later destroyed by the Shadows in the episode The Coming
      of Shadows.
     (Narn Military Outpost, Quadrant 37):
      This station was composed of five wedge shaped segments surrounding a
      center disk.  It had many gun batteries.  It was destroyed by the Shadows
      in the episode Chrysalis.  It had no rotational gravity, and most likely
      had hanger bays for the fighters that patrolled it.

The Narn transport is small, commercial, sublight vessel.  It can not generate
its own jump point and has no rotational gravity.  It appears to have the cockpit
similar to that of a Narn heavy fighter combined with a large, moderately
hexagonal, rear cargo hold.  The Transports are, as a rule,
unarmed although there appear to be two light cannons visible on the dorsal
surface of the cargo hold.  There are two engines on the rear of the hold, along
with at least four maneuvering thrusters on the ventral side of the craft.

      In the episode Revelations, a Narn war ship is destroyed by the Shadows. 
      It had the ability to form its own jump point, and had no rotational
      gravity.  The ship had an angular design, with a thin bar curving around
      the back portion of it.  It had one main engine, and was reddish brown in
      color.  It had a crew of three Narn on its bridge.

The Omega Clas Destroyers, superior ships to earlier ships like the Hyperion,
were built after the war.  It's one of the best ships in the EA, almost the
equivilent of an aircraft carrier or battleship in the modern navy, and it took
a lot of seniority and work for Sheridan to get it. This class ship is large
enough to generate its own jump point. An axe headed shape is foremost, housing
the main landing/docking bay in the center of the ship's face.  Behind this is
the living section, spun to simulate gravity.  Behind this is the non-rotating
engine section.  They appear to be heavily armed, and probably have at least one
squadron of Star Furies.

A development from the Nova Class Dreadnaught, with a rotating habitat section
was added, as well as more armored sections.

The Omega Clas Destroyers, superior ships to earlier ships like the Hyperion,
were built after the war.  It's one of the best ships in the EA, almost the
equivilent of an aircraft carrier or battleship in the modern navy, and it took
a lot of seniority and work for Sheridan to get it. This class ship is large
enough to generate its own jump point. An axe headed shape is foremost, housing
the main landing/docking bay in the center of the ship's face.  Behind this is
the living section, using counterweight-spinning to simulate gravity.  Behind
this is the non-rotating engine section.  When going into battle, the spinning
sections are disabled to give the ship maximum maneuverability.

      A.    This is a large ring surrounding a central cylinder, capable of
            creating its own jump point, and carrying over a dozen fighters
            (around the exterior of the habitat ring), but seems to have no
            weapons of its own.  Gravity is provided by the rotation of the
            habitat ring.  In the center is a docking bay large enough to
            accommodate a Centauri personal liner.  The only known model of this
            vessel was destroyed by a Shadow War Ship (sp).
      B.    This Raider "transport" resembles version A (and may be another
            example of the same style), and is a large ring surrounding a
            central cylinder, and is capable of carrying over a dozen fighters
            (around the exterior of the habitat ring), but seems to have no
            weapons of its own.  Gravity is provided by the rotation of the
            habitat ring, or disk, connected to the central cylinder by four
            pylons.  There is an antenna array on the "top" of the transport. 
            This vessel was supplied by the Narn, and was captured with a Narn
            "advisor" (mf).

It carries the lines of an ocean going naval vessel in its design.  Heavily
armed, and with Starfuries, it has no internal gravity, other than that granted
by acceleration.  The Hyperion is one of the few surviving heavy cruisers from
before the Earth/Minbari War period.  The heavy cruiser is a powerful war ship
that has several large gun emplacements and holds a squadron of Star Furies. 
There is a turret housing two cannons on each side of the ship, and two small
turrets on the ventral surface of the ship.  The four main guns are on the fore
of the ship, and face forward.  There are three turrets similar to the side
turrets behind the main cannon on the dorsal surface.  At the very front of the
ship is an array of antenna, perhaps for communication. There are no apparent
rotational sections, so one must assume the officers, soldiers, and pilots on
board exist in a microgravity environment.  Presumably the ship is equipped with
technology that enables the passengers to exercise to allow them return to normal
gravity after extended leaves.

      Slightly larger (About 5 times longer, rear spinetip to snout)  than Narn
      Fighters, they appear to be living technology that is impervious to Narn
      weapons fire, and therefore hard to damage.  They have no visible means of
      propulsion.  Along the sides and back of the ship are seven spines. The
      "front" of the ship has a single orifice that "spits" white energy spheres
      powerful enough to destroy a Narn fighter with a single shot.  They have
      a shiny, pulsing lattice on the hull (rv).

      This is a large black spiny looking "hunched W shaped" ship with one major
      extremely powerful energy weapon, located at the center.  The structure of
      the ship seems to be layered vertically into three sections, each side
      having eight to ten spines. They have a shiny pulsing lattice on the hull. 
      It can become invisible, can create it's own jump points, can maneuver
      itself in any direction, making it completely free to angle itself into
      any firing pattern (sp,ch,rv,ds,cs,lt).
      It appears that each ship can "give birth" to a cluster of forty or so of
      the smaller fighters G'Kar encountered in (rv). We are not shown that
      these fighters are re-assimilated at the end of the confrontation, and it
      is also unknown how many times each Shadow can do this.
      A shadow vessel has one "core" sentient, and once in, it's very difficult
      for that person to ever get out again.
      They have the ability to disrupt a jump point so that it is fatal for any
      ship to attempt to use it. Once an attack against the Shadows begins it
      appears you can leave only when they so allow it. 
      The Shadow "wounded" during the battle is thrown off course by the loss of
      one of its spines, as it goes into shock. After the battle is finished, a
      second Shadow joins with it as if to assist it. The broken spine is
      clearly visible on the ship that does not move during the docking
      procedure. It suggests that the damaged Shadow was unable to function as
      effectively.
      "Given that we're looking at a high-energy weapon capable of burning
      through a four-mile wide Narn orbital base as though it were made of
      butter, it's putting out enough energy, I figured, to lead to a reaction
      with the hydrogen, whether it's a fusion reaction of some other.  We're
      talking a concentrated level of energy equal to a thermonuclear reaction
      on a controlled level, or a fusion weapons system with an energy output
      well beyond contemporary science to calculate (particularly since this
      system is capable of delivering the energy, undiluted, to targets tens or
      dozens of miles distant)."
      [7.  Can you tell me the dimensions of a Shadow ship or the WhiteStar? 
      I'm guessing that a Shadow Mother-Symbiotic-Terror Ship has a 'spine-span'
      of about 2 kilometers at least, maybe even two miles; is this close?}]

      SA-23 Mitchell-Hyundyne Starfury is the standard Earth Alliance
non-atmospheric fighter, which comes in several configurations.  The SA-23E is
the standard lightweight version. They are designed for zero-gravity combat, and
can not enter a planetary atmosphere.
      It is a very maneuverable fighter, with four Rolls Royce/Martin III Ion
thruster engine pods set at the ends of four Wings or Pylons set in an X-Winged
pattern. The engines consists of one aft, one fore, and two angled thrusters. 
It can literally spin 180 degrees in under a second.  Lateral, vertical, and
complex roll maneuvers are also possible.  It also has afterburners for quick
acceleration.  The ship's fuel is stored in the wings.
      The weaponry is mainly forward mounted, and consists of 2 primary (below
the cockpit, one on each side) and 2 secondary (above the cockpit) Copeland-JC
466/A Pulse Discharge Cannons controlled by a Duffy 1018 MJS Smart Targeting
Computer.  The weaponry is mainly forward mounted, and consists of 2 primary
(below the cockpit, one on each side) and 2 secondary (above the cockpit)
Copeland-JC 466/A Pulse Discharge Cannons controlled by a Duffy 1018 MJS Smart
Targeting Computer.  There seem to be at least two different types of cannon; one
firing larger, slower, more powerful projectiles, while the other fires quick
bursts of small  projectiles.
      The Starfury also has a grappling hook on its ventral surface as well as
a spotlight.
      The cockpit module may not have extensive life support systems since the
pilots wear space suits, although these may simply enable the pilot to survive
the extreme g-forces exerted on them during these maneuvers.  Right below the
forward cockpit window is a multi-function monitor, capable of displaying
coordinates and tracking information from the ship's scanners, though these are
not very long range.  They can jam communications around them.  In case of severe
damage to the ship, the cockpit module will jettison away from the fuel and power
plant.
      There is also a heavy military version, with turrets fore and aft, and
pilots fore and aft, and much heavier shielding and armaments

      "stealthed"

Black Omega Starfuries are *hideously* expensive, rather like Stealth Bombers. 
They have to be carefully maintained, and their existence isn't generally
trumpeted.  (Like the Aurora, for instance.) They're not mainly a defensive
system, but rather an infiltration unit used on black projects/covert missions,
made for top speed as an interceptor with advanced stealth components.  They're
not really meant for an operation like B5. (mw)

Babylon 5 is equipped with several transports in a variety of configurations.
There are approximately five small types of transports used by the station. 
There is also a disk shaped transport that can carry two large cargo modules.
Babylon 5 also accepts many transports from space liners.  Some are like the ones
used by the station, while others are somewhat larger.  Most of these smaller
transports require jump gates or larger transports to enter hyperspace.       
Large transports can carry tons of supplies or hundreds of passengers.  They have
many different configurations.  One class of transport often seen is composed of
a red cylinder with two cargo modules on each side.  The bridge is in the front
of the craft.

This enormous ship is insect-like in appearance, and is flat with many small
appendages.  Little is currently known about its capabilities, save that the four
main fore-appendages/tentacles emit energy that combine in the center to fire an
intense beam of energy.  This weapon destroyed a Shadow Battlecrab in a single
shot (ga,dw).  It is very likely to be similar to the Transport (qv) otherwise.

There is no clear back or front, and for the purposes of this discussion only,
front and back are arbitrary descriptions. It is oblong, has four sections,
beginning at four long "tentacles" in front extending from a "fore pod" separated
from the "main body" by four booms.  The main body ends in "petals" or "sails"
that open during deceleration or acceleration.  When the petals open, a moving
blue pattern can be seen on their trailing, or inside surface.  The four sections
are quadrilaterally symmetrical, and each "quarter section" has a fore-tentacle,
a petal, and what looks like a "jet intake" (which is, in fact, likely to be a
reaction motor, since it is seen venting a blue flame in (ga)).  There is a small
ring of light on the stern that flares when the ship is accelerating into the
jump gate.  It, too, emit energys from the four fore-tentacles that combine in
the center to fire an intense beam of energy (ga,sp,hp).  It is made of "Organic
Technology" and is a living, sentient vessel. (hp)  The Patterns on the skin
change gradually, although they can change quite quickly, forming words.  It can
form a number of tentacle like effects from the skin, such as a scanner, an entry
or exit arm, a coccoon and so forth.

A warship built with Minbari/Vorlon technology, and given to the command of
Sheridan.  It is smaller than most ships capable of generating its own Jump
Point, and far faster and more maneuverable (able to make 90 degree turns on a
dime) (mh).

White Star class ships have automatic repair and other systems, and can
be piloted by a single person if need be, provided that they 'don't run into
any trouble'.
