Topic: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

Since the previous Babylon 5 Wars conversions don't seem to be available on the forums any more I thought I would share mine.

While B5W had very detailed ships this was also its downfall (I don't want to be keeping track of how many damage points each of my laser cannons has left and what different critical hits they have taken), and the subsequent Fleet Action rules didn't really grab my interest.

Ships with the Hyperdrive trait are capable of opening their own jump point to enter hyperspace.  Smaller ships don't normally have this capability and either have to rely on fixed jump gates or use the jump point created by a larger ship.  I haven't really come up with any particular rules for this but I would suggest that if they can end their turn in the same hex, and facing in the same direction, as the ship that is using the Hyperdrive then they can also enter Hyperspace.


The Earth Alliance
The EA ships are rather blocky, slow, and low-tech (but not enough to warrant a tech level penalty) using a mix of plasma cannons, particle beams, laser cannons, and pulse cannons, plus a few railguns and missile launchers.
Their claim to fame, as it were, is the interceptor array that can shoot down incoming fire or target fighters.  I have represented this as Anti-Fighter Batteries, Countermeasures, and Point Defense.
The ships below are the basic ships from the era of the TV show.  Up to this point the EA has fought two major wars.  In the Dilgar War they came off the bench late on to become the saviours of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds who were being massacred by the genocidal Dilgar.  Shortly after that war first contact with the Minbari went very badly wrong (“we handled the Dilgar, we can handle a few stray ships”) resulting in the EA being almost totally destroyed and the Minbari only stopping once in Earth orbit.

Fighters
Tiger – an older fighter that was still in use at the start of the Dilgar War but had mainly been replaced by the Nova.
(38) Tiger Starfury, 6/9/0, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Nova – the main fighter during the Dilgar War.
(44) Nova Starfury, 6/10/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Aurora – introduced during the Dilgar War this became the main service fighter of the EA.
(46) Aurora Starfury, 6/11/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Badger – a two-man “bomber” version of the Aurora, this has a rear-facing gunner and carries a small missile load.
(56) Badger Starfury, 6/10/1, (Fighter/4+/Non-Piercing) (Striker/5+)

Thunderbolt – the latest fighter and the first for a while to be able to enter a planetary atmosphere.  Due to the differences in shape most older ships can't carry the Thunderbolt.
(60) Thunderbolt Starfury, 6/12/1, (Fighter/5+)

Lamprey Breaching Pod – not normally carried, these are specialist small craft that can attach themselves the hull of a ship or space station, burn their way through the hull and release their cargo of marines inside.
(5) Lamprey, 1/8/1, (Boarding Pod/5+)

Hades Shuttle – designed for planetary assaults, this shuttle could land in enemy shuttle bays if needed.
(11) Hades, 1/8/1, (Breacher/6+)


Ships
The EA has a number of basic hulls that they have then modified or converted over the years as different weapons have become available and different needs have cropped up.  Therefore each ship has a hull type and a Greek letter designation to ship which version of that hull it is.

Artemis Beta Heavy Frigate
A tough small ship armed with railguns.  It is designed to close with enemy capital ships and pound them into scrap, while relying on its tough hull to protect it.  While it could be used as a general patrol ship, it would need regular resupply.

Nova Beta Dreadnought
A massively over-gunned ship with a large central hanger bay.  Armed entirely with the laser-pulse array which combines both a medium laser cannon and a medium pulse cannon into a single mount, it is rather cramped and prone to mechanical failures.  I am aware that dual mode weapons should have the same range, but this is actually two different weapons in the same mount – although only one can be fired at a time due to the single power supply.

Olympus Delta Corvette
A general purpose small warship with a mix of weaponry.  Unlike most ships, the bridge is not protected within the centre of the ship – instead it is on a pole sticking out the side of the ship.

Omega Alpha Destroyer
A new design developed after the Minbari War and the first Earth ship to have artificial gravity by way of a central spun section.  It is also the first to carry the Thunderbolt fighter.  As this ship is bigger than the Nova it would appear that the EA uses “destroyer” to mean “star destroyer”.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Minbari Federation
One of the oldest races in the galaxy, they reached their peak some time ago and have stagnated somewhat.  They have just started updating some of their ships using a mix of human and Vorlon technology.

Fighters
Tishat – a slightly older fighter now used mainly for training and local defence, it is still better than the main fighters of most other races.
(54) Tishat, 6/12/2, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Nial – the current fighter of the Minbari is well armed and armoured, as well as being faster than most other fighters.
(76) Nial, 6/12/3, (Fighter/4+/Non-Piercing)

Combat Flyer – essentially an armed personal shuttle.  It is carried by almost all Minbari ships and can function as a fighter in a pinch.
(9) Combat Flyer, 1/10/0, (Fighter/6+/Non-Piercing)

Transport Flyer – an armed cargo shuttle.  Again it can be used as a fighter but it is not recommended.
(8) Transport Flyer, 1/9/0, (Fighter/6+/Non-Piercing)

Ronati Breaching Pod – on occasion the Minbari decide they want to capture a ship rather than destroy it.  Once the target is disabled the Ronati is used to deliver troops to clear it of all resistance.
(6) Ronati, 1/9/3, (Boarding Pod/5+)

Ships
The current Minbari fleet uses stealth technology to allow them to stand off from an enemy fleet and engage it at the long range allowed by their superior weaponry.  Earlier ships used a short ranged mixture of antimatter and molecular weaponry and their stealth allowed them to close to combat ranges without damage.  The stealth technology was such an advantage in the Earth-Minbari War that the only ships that suffered serious damage had either been rammed or mined.  All Minbari vessels have artificial gravity.

Morshin Carrier
While the Sharlin carriers more fighters than some races dedicated carriers, occasionally the Minbari need to bring even more fighters to the battle.  Once it has launched its fighters the Morshin is basically a big target and so needs to be kept out of range.

Type: MORSHIN-class MINBARI CARRIER (743)

Sharlin War Cruiser
The main cruiser of the Minbari fleet, the Sharlin can stay at long ranges and tear enemy ships apart with its long-ranged neutron lasers.  If the enemy close then it has a formidable array of fusion cannons for defence.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Centauri Republic
Quite an old race, the Centauri often refer to themselves as “the lion of the galaxy”.  Unfortunately that lion has grown old and decadent, weakened by in-fighting between the noble houses.  They have fought wars with most of their neighbours but most often with the Narn.

Fighters
Razarik – a modification of the Razik, this fighter carries a small torpedo load for attacking ships but is slower.
(43) Razarik, 6/11/0, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)(Striker/6+)

Razik – the standard light fighter of the Republic.  It is faster than the Sentri but more vulnerable.
(44) Razik, 6/12/0, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Rutarian – a new fighter that has both anit-fighter and anti-ship capability.  Only a few new ship classes are designed to carry the Rutarian.
(55) Rutarian, 6/10/2, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing) (Fighter/6+/Bomber)

Sentri – the standard fighter of the Republic fleet.
(46) Sentri, 6/11/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Sitari – a modification of the Sentri.  The anti-fighter weaponry has been removed and replaced with the main gun from the Rutarian.  It is considered something of a failure.
(31) Sitara, 6/10/1, (Fighter/6+/Bomber)

Scion – a standard breaching pod for delivering troops to enemy ships or space stations.
(5) Scion, 1/10/1, (Boarding Pod/5+)

Larisi – a troop shuttle.
(11) Larisi, 1/9/0, (Breacher/6+)


Ships
Centauri ships are either fast attack ships with heavy forward weaponry, like the Vorchan, or large battleships with long-ranged guns, such as the Primus.

Altarian Destroyer
A decent all-round war ship, the Altarian is capable of independent action but they are normally formed into squadrons.

Dargan Strike Cruiser
The only Centauri ship with a stealth system.  This system actually allows the Dargan to appear as a different ship types on sensors allowing it to disguise itself as a civilian freighter to slip past enemy border sensors.  In game terms it works like normal Stealth.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Narn Regime

A war-like people, the Narn were once slaves of the Centauri and are often engaged in border skirmishes with them.  They like to play the role of protector of the weak, but they are often actually looking for new worlds and races to exploit.

Fighters
Tarza – a torpedo fighter.  Considered inferior to the Frazi and not normally carried.
(45) Tarza, 6/10/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)(Striker/6+)

Frazi – the main fighter of the Narn, this is one of few standard fighters that are a threat to capital ships in small numbers due to the heavy guns it carries.
(55) Frazi, 6/10/1, (Fighter/5+)

T'Khar – a troop shuttle that can be used for boarding actions.
(11) T'Khar, 1/9/1, (Breacher/6+)

T'Rakh – the Narn breaching pod is better armoured than most.
(5) T'Rakh, 1/8/2, (Boarding Pod/5+)

Ships
Narn ships are generally rather large and slow.  The only piece of unique technology the Narn have is the energy mine which is designed to clear large areas of enemy fighters.

Bin'Tak Dreadnought
Biggest ship in the Narn fleet, the Bin'Tak is capable of inflicting damage on the enemy at very long range.

The Interstellar Alliance
This is an outgrowth of the Army of Light that fought the Shadows and Vorlons and then liberated Earth.

Information
The requested topic does not exist.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Abbai
One of the founding races of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, the Abbai are a matriarchal society that largely believes in non-violence.  However, given that violence continues to happen to them they have some of the best protected, and maybe worst armed, ships in the galaxy.  Even the Dilgar Imperium was unable to breach their defences.


Fighters
Kotha – a fairly standard fighter, designed mainly for taking on other fighters.
(46) Kotha, 6/11/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Kaltika – it may seem odd that the Abbai have a breaching pod design, but they occasionally board raider vessels to capture them rather than destroy them.
(5) Kaltika Breaching Pod, 1/8/2, (Boarding Pod/5+)


Ships
Abbai ships are focused on defence rather than attack.  They all have shields and most have Countermeasures and Point Defence.  Weaponry is rather weak with many ships just using the short-ranged quad array to discourage those who get too close.  Their true warships do have a decent laser cannon as well, based on Centauri technology, and a few also carry the comm disruptor to disable the enemy rather than destroy them.

Allanti Freighter (In Service 2235)
Rather better protected than other races transports, the Allanti is still only equipped to deal with lightly armed raiders.

Type: ALLANTI-class ABBAI FREIGHTER (88)
Hull: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Tulati Frigate (In Service 2180)
The Tulati is a design from before the Dilgar War and is less well armed than the Lyata.  Despite being considered a proper warship it has almost no offensive capability.

Type: TULATI-class ABBAI FRIGATE (60)

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Streib
The Streib are a mysterious race that have previously been encountered by the Minbari.  They are collectors who capture members of different races and carry out various test on them.  This resulted in the Minbari getting rather annoyed with them and destroying every Streib ship they could find.

The collector ship is designed to disable ships so captives can be recovered by breaching pod.  While quite large it is no match for a true warship.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

Raiders
These are the pirates of the galaxy, attacking and looting merchant ships.  They attempt to get hold of shipping manifests and route plans so they can intercept the most valuable cargos.  They attempt to make freighter crews surrender with a show of force, but will fire if necessary.


Fighters
Delta-V – an early Earth fighter, the Delta-V is cheap and easy to manufacture, and is also able to enter a planetary atmosphere unlike most modern fighters.
(40) Delta-V, 6/10/0, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)


Ships
Raider ships carry a mix of weaponry, but generally not the top end of military hardware.  These capital ships are expensive and difficult to get hold of, so they try not to risk them in combat if they don't have to.

Battlewagon
Based on a transport hull, the battlewagon is quite well armed but is still not up to taking on much more than a police cutter.

The Dark Knife
This is one of the First Ones that came to assist the younger races against the Shadows and the Vorlons, and probably the scariest ship around.  With weapons that out-range most younger races, the Dark Knife can de-cloak at long range, gut a ship of its choice, and be out of range for most return fire due to its stealth capabilities.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Belt Alliance
The Belt Alliance was formed to protect merchant vessels from raiders in areas that governments couldn't, or wouldn't, send warships to patrol.  It often operates in areas where there has recently been conflict as many warships will have been taken away from their normal patrol duties, or destroyed in combat.

Fighters
Delta-V – this is the same cheap fighter that raiders use.
(40) Delta-V, 6/10/0, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)

Starfox – a modified version of the old Earth Alliance Fox Starfury, it has seen new life with the Belt Alliance.
(44) Starfox, 6/10/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)


Ships
Designed to take on raiders, and with their weapons limited by governments, the Belt Alliance ships can't stand up to true warships.  They mainly use rail guns that fire clusters of small rounds.  These small rounds have problems penetrating ship hulls, but those rounds that do so can cause significant damage.  The cluster ammunition is also more useful against fighters than the large slugs used by normal rail guns.
They also carry an earlier version of the interceptors found on Earth Alliance ships.  These don't rally provide any defensive benefit and so are counted as anti-fighter batteries.

Light Gunboat (In Service 2192)

The Alacan Republic

The Alacan Republic is no more.  There were the first race to fall to the Dilgar Imperium with only a single cruiser escaping to find help.  That cruiser eventually made it all the way to the Earth Alliance and persuaded them to fight the Dilgar.  Unfortunately that help came too late for the Alacan.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

As I said, I'm also working on my version of B5 ships. I've taken a quick look at your ships and I'm surprised that a lot of them have a shield value of 0.
AFAIK, the shield value includes also basic metal armor, otherwise, even the biggest ship should fall prey to any shooting.
I've designed the weapons differently (mostly copied them from another design), but that's not a problem.

Marc

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

I have gone with shield values of 0 for the majority of ships as I wanted to be able to differentiate between the ships with shields (Abbai, White Stars, Vorlons and a couple of others) and those that just relied on their basic hull plating.  I have therefore based the hull values on the general size of the ship, the armour value of the hull, and if the B5W ship has a more hull boxes compared to others (I think the Sharlin gets a couple, and maybe the Omega).

As certain weapons (mainly rail guns) ignore the armour value I have then given them the Extra Hull Damage trait to represent that they can ignore one of the elements I used to determine the Hull value.

I have also given a shield value to some very large star bases (those that would work out to more than 30 Hull) to represent their extreme toughness.

You will notice that most weapons only do one or two points of damage, and with the relatively low accuracy ratings (mainly 4+/5+ unlike the 2+/3+ I keep seeing on "home build" ships) it will still take quite a while to destroy your opponent's ships unless you have a dedicated "ship killer" such as the Artemis Heavy Frigate.

As with the majority of conversions between quite different rules systems there are multiple ways to represent different elements in the original system.  You could give most ships (maybe not the civilian ones or others with very minimal armour) a shield rating of 1 or 2, but then where do you go with ships with shields.  If most ships have Shields 2 then Shields 3 doesn't feel that special, but if everyone has Shields 0 other than a couple of ships then those feel like they have something special.

I was considering largely ignoring the hull armour and given a few heavily armoured ships Armour Plating but decided to save that for adaptive armour (again to make it fell like something special).

For all that B5W had a number of very large fleet engagement scenarios (and not many small battles) it does not handle them very well due to the detail on the ship damage.  Starmada, on the other hand, copes with large battles very well (look at how well the Federation Commander conversion has been received by old SFB players) but you have to lose a level of detail.

My concerns with my conversions are that I have made pulse cannons a bit weak and that fighters may be too powerful - as with many things only extensive play will show if I am right.  Also, I have yet to find a way to represent ELINT ships.  So far I am giving them Fire Control to represent the extra EW points they have to spend, but as many of them don't have that much weaponry it doesn't seem to really represent it.

I will probably be adding some more ships this evening (work just keeps getting in the way!) - maybe I will add a few Vorlon and Shadow ships so you can get a feel for how those have been converted.  I also intend to go back through at some point and add "Year In Service" dates to the ships so non-B5W players can get an idea of which ships would "historically" face off against each other but I need to get by books back out of storage to do that.

The Streib
The Streib are a mysterious and quite old race that have previously been encountered by the Minbari.  They are collectors who capture members of different races and carry out various test on them.  This resulted in the Minbari getting rather annoyed with them and destroying just about every Streib ship they could find.

The collector ship is designed to disable ships so captives can be recovered by breaching pod.  While quite large it is no match for a true warship.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Vorlon Empire

The Vorlons are one of the two ancient races left behind by the first ones to guide the younger races.  They are best thought of as “order”.  They do not allow the younger races to intrude on their territory – if any diplomacy is required it will take place on the other race's world.

The Vorlons are fighting what is known as the War Without End against the Shadows, mainly through their manipulation of the younger races – in particular the Minbari.  They are responsible for the emergence of telepaths among many races as a weapon to use in this war.


Fighters
Heavy Fighter – the term is someone odd given they don't have a light or medium fighter.  As with their larger ships the fighter is well shielded and difficult to damage.
(94) Heavy Fighter, 6/12/4, (Fighter/6+/ROF-2)

Assault Fighter – even bigger than the heavy fighter, the rare assault fighter was used individually rather than in flights
(54) Assault Fighter, 1/12/5, (Fighter/5+/ROF-2)


Ships
Vorlon ships are some sort of bio-constructs that are more grown than built and are semi-sentient.  The lightning cannon on most ships is capable of firing as a lighter weapon with larger arcs but this really can't be represented in Starmada.  The top end lightning cannon is sufficiently powerful that a single shot will destroy almost any target.

Transport
Smallest of the Vorlon ships, the transport is used as a personal conveyance by important Vorlons such as their ambassadors.

Battle Destroyer
Smallest of the Vorlon warships, the Battle Destroyer is larger than many races cruisers and with its shields can easily get close enough to destroy them with the lightning cannon.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

The Shadows
The Shadows are the other ancient race left behind to help the younger races grow.  Where the Vorlons are “order”, the Shadows are “chaos” – they believe that the best way for the other races to grow is through conflict and strife so that only the strongest survive.

Their key puppets in the War Without End are the Centauri and the humans.


Fighters
Medium Fighter – faster than most fighters and has the same energy absorption system as the larger ships making it hard to kill.
(69) Medium Fighter, 6/13/2, (Fighter/6+/ROF-2)



Ships
Shadow vessels are grown rather than built, and it has been suggested that they keep on growing at a slow rate throughout their lives.  While they can operate independently, they are better when directed by a “pilot” – a captive of another race melded into the ship to make it fully self-aware.
While the ships have Shield ratings, they don't actually have shield generators.  Instead they have spines which they can use to absorb and store the energy of incoming attacks before bleeding it off over time.  They are best overcome with weapons that are able to keep hitting the ship again and again in a small space of time before it can bleed off the stored energy and absorb more.


Destroyer
While this is the smallest Shadow vessel it is a dangerous opponent for the cruisers of most races.

Notes: Shadow cruisers and bigger ships also mount a Vortex Disruptor.  This is a weapon that is fired at a jump point in order to cause it to collapse thereby preventing the enemy from escaping.  I have no idea how to represent it in Starmada.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

Civilian Vessels
While these are the human versions of these ships, they can be used to represent the ships of other races as well.

Civilian ships are generally slow with minimal armament in order to carry as much cargo as possible.  Most cargo vessels use a series of pods (essentially the space equivalent of shipping containers) so they can quickly detach their current cargo and pick up new pods rather than having to wait around to be unloaded.
None of these vessels have their own jump engine so they have to rely on fixed jump gates to get to their destination.

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

From the Dilgar War (2229-2232) through the Earth-Minbari War (2245-2248) to the Earth Alliance Civil War (2260-2261), the Earth Alliance ships have gradually evolved through the application of new technology, although they have generally retained the "brick with an engine at the back" appearance derided by other races.

The next few posts will list the various different Earth Alliance ships.  I have included those from the original post so you can see where they fit into the design trees.


Earth Alliance – The Tethys Police Cutter
Due to the large number of systems in the Earth Alliance it is necessary to have ships dedicated to police and customs duties, as well as being the first line of defence against raiders.


Laertes Gamma Police Corvette (In Service 2184)
Predecessor to the Tethys, the Laertes was replaced after the Dilgar War with the more modern design.  After leaving Earth Alliance service many were sold to friendly minor races, although a number were acquired by raider groups.

Type: LAERTES-class EARTH ALLIANCE POLICE CORVETTE (58)

Battery Y: Standard Particle Beam, 2/4/6, 1/4+/1/1, Anti-Fighter
[ABC] [ABD] [ACE] [BDF]

Special: [TL0] Anti-Fighter Batteries (1); Countermeasures; Marines (1); Point Defense


Tethys Epsilon Plasma Boat (In Service 2191)
An attempt to provide the early Tethys with some serious firepower, all this refit actually accomplished was to draw the attention of the enemy to this small ship.

Type: TETHYS-class EARTH ALLIANCE PLASMA BOAT (58)
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 3 2 1

[GHI] [GHI] [ACE] [BDF]

Special: [TL0] Anti-Fighter Batteries (1); Countermeasures; Marines (1); Point Defense


Tethys Zeta Missile Boat (In Service 2212)
Used to back up the larger Sagittarius missile cruisers, this variant was considered to have insufficient ammunition for use outside of dedicated fleet missile squadrons and their supply train.

Type: TETHYS-class EARTH ALLIANCE MISSILE BOAT (71)
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 3 2 1                         
Shields: [TL0] 0 0 0 0 0

Battery Y: Standard Particle Beam, 2/4/6, 1/4+/1/1, Anti-Fighter
[GHI] [ACE] [BDF]

Special: [TL0] Anti-Fighter Batteries (1); Countermeasures; Marines (1); Point Defense


Tethys Eta Laser Boat (In Service 2219)
Designed for easy of maintenance (parts for the different laser cannons were interchangeable), this variant is lacking in weaponry to deal with the large numbers of fighters that raiders normally use.

Type: TETHYS-class EARTH ALLIANCE LASER BOAT (72)
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 3 2 1

[GHI] [GHI] [ACE] [BDF]

Special: [TL0] Anti-Fighter Batteries (1); Countermeasures; Marines (1); Point Defense


Tethys Theta Light Escort Carrier (In Service 2231)
On occasion it is necessary to mount operations to destroy raider bases.  The Theta carries an increased troop complement and the shuttles needed to deliver them to the enemy base.  However, this capability comes at a price in armament.

Type: TETHYS-class EARTH ALLIANCE LIGHT ESCORT CARRIER (132)
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 3 2 1

Tethys Iota Police Leader (In Service 2243)
This flotilla flagship has a better mix of weaponry for dealing with raider capital ships and their fighters.

Type: TETHYS-class EARTH ALLIANCE POLICE LEADER (74)
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 3 2 1

Tethys Kappa Police Cutter (In Service 2246)
This is the “standard” version of the Tethys, fitted for use against raiders who normally use large numbers of light fighters.

Type: TETHYS-class EARTH ALLIANCE POLICE CUTTER (72)
Hull: 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 3 2 1

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

Earth Alliance – The Artemis Frigate

Artemis Alpha Armoured Frigate (In Service 2168)
Used mainly as an escort vessel, the Artemis was a surprise to raiders who normally only encountered lightly armed and armoured escorts.  While still in use during the Dilgar War, most of these vessels were used to protect supply ships rather than as front-line combatants.

Type: ARTEMIS-class EARTH ALLIANCE HEAVY FRIGATE (71)

Artemis Beta Heavy Frigate (In Service 2190)
Longer-ranged weaponry along with improved engines and a reinforced hull made the Beta version into a ship that could take on enemy capital ships.  Unfortunately the Artemis fell out of favour, like the Olympus, with the Senate due to the perceived need for additional support ships for ammunition resupply.  The last Artemis was destroyed during the Earth-Minbari War.

Type: ARTEMIS-class EARTH ALLIANCE HEAVY FRIGATE (126)

Artemis Zeta Escort Frigate (In Service 2242)
Getting more life from an old hull, some frigates were converted to this design to showcase the new pulse weapons.

Type: ARTEMIS-class EARTH ALLIANCE ESCORT FRIGATE (119)
Hull: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

Earth Alliance – The Olympus Corvette

Olympus Alpha Corvette (In Service 2200)
This the Olympus as it appeared during the Dilgar War, with the medium plasma cannon as the main weapon as it was on most Earth Alliance ships of the era.

Type: OLYPMUS-class EARTH ALLIANCE CORVETTE (90)

Olympus Beta Gunship (In Service 2229)
The Beta variant was brought into service during the Dilgar War to provide maximum firepower on the small hull.  The additional energy weapons caused a significant stress on the power systems that the design wasn't continued after the war.

Type: OLYPMUS-class EARTH ALLIANCE GUNSHIP (167)
Hull: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Olympus Delta Corvette (In Service 2241)
This is the modernized version of the Alpha with improved hull strength, better engines, newer missile racks, and the old plasma cannons replaced with pulse cannons for a more rounded ship.  Like the Nova dreadnought, the crew quarters are cramped making it an unpopular ship to serve on.  To allow the captain a better view of the battle the bridge is situated on a strut sticking out of the port side of the vessel, a feature common to all Olympus-class ships.

Type: OLYPMUS-class EARTH ALLIANCE CORVETTE (135)
Hull: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Engines: [TL0] 4 4 4 3 3 2 2 1 1

Re: Babylon 5 Wars Conversion

Earth Alliance – The Hyperion Cruiser

The Hyperion was the work horse of the Earth Alliance fleet since the early 23rd century.  While slower than most other cruisers, it was able to be upgraded time and time again to keep it current.


Hyperion Alpha Heavy Cruiser (In Service 2216)
A replacement for various older cruiser designs, the Hyperion turned out to be easy to upgrade giving it a long service life.  Despite being short-ranged, the medium plasma cannons were considered to be the main weapons.
Originally carrying the Tiger Starfury (Carrier 38, CR 191) they upgraded to the Nova in 2230 (Carrier 44, CR 198), and those still in service got the Aurora in 2244.

Hyperion Beta Missile Cruiser (In Service 2217)
This Hyperion did not carry any fighters due to the space needed for magazines.  It was superseded by the dedicated Sagittarius Missile Cruiser.

Hyperion Gamma Assault Cruiser (In Service 2230)
One of the more common Hyperion variants, the Gamma carries an expanded troop contingent and the craft required to deliver them to a planet or enemy space installation.  It was so successful that this model continued in service even after most other Hyperions had been retired.

Type: HYPERION-class EARTH ALLIANCE ASSAULT CRUISER (321)

Hyperion Delta Pulse Cruiser (In Service 2240)
Used to test the new pulse weapons, the Delta is shorter ranged than later Hyperion variants, but some captains preferred the array of the quick firing weapons to the heavy laser cannon.
The Delta originally carried a flight of Nova Starfuries (Carrier 44, CR 215) until receiving the Aurora in 2244.

Hyperion Zeta Rail Cruiser (In Service 2246)
This was an attempt to recreate the Artemis on a cruiser hull.  While slightly more survivable, due to the larger hull, the Hyperion was too slow to effectively bring the rail guns into play.

Hecate Alpha Testbed Cruiser (In Service 2228)
When the Earth Alliance Senate voted against upgrading the Hyperion Alpha with new technology, the military instead created the Hecate to “test new technologies to avoid spending money on dead ends”.  Since the Hecate is actually a Hyperion, the military got its upgraded cruisers and once funding was approved they could easily be converted into active service Hyperions.
The Hecate originally carried a single flight of Tiger Starfuries (Carrier 38, CR 193), upgrading to the Nova in 2230 (Carrier 44, CR 201), and eventually to the Aurora in 2244.

Hecate Beta Bolt Cruiser (In Service 2232)
While the Earth Alliance couldn’t initially replicate the Dilgar pulsar technology, they could utilised capture bolters.  A single Hyperion/Hecate was built to test the technology.  It was considered successful, but the pulse weapons developed after the war were considered superior.
Due to the space required for testing equipment the fighter bay had to be removed.  The ship was destroyed during the Earth-Minbari War.

Earth Alliance – Nova Dreadnought

Nova Alpha Dreadnought (In Service 2215)
While carrying a massive array of laser cannons, the early Nova design is light on anti-fighter weapons.  However, it carries a large fighter complement of its own.  Those still in service in later years were converted to the Beta version.
As with other ships of the era, the Nova originally carried the Tiger Starfury (Carrier 152, CR 384) switching to the Nova Starfury in 2230 (Carrier 176, CR 409) before getting the Aurora in 2244.

4xAurora Starfury, 6/11/1, (Fighter/5+/Non-Piercing)


Nova Beta Dreadnought (In Service 2242)
Now sporting the laser pulse array, the Nova is a more flexible warship than before.  However it fell out of favour due to the cramped conditions and short cruising range.  Many components were later used in the Omega destroyer.
The Beta originally carried the Nova Starfury (Carrier 176, CR 452) before upgrading to the Aurora in 2244.
