Designed on Minbar during the Shadow War by both Minbari and Vorlons, the Whitestar was to be the vanguard craft of the Anla'shok Rangers after the war to aid them in their mission to watch the galaxy for signs of trouble. A hybrid vessel incorporating Vorlon bio-armor and a massively powerful fusion weapon which surpases the power of even Minbari weaponry, the Whitestar was a powerful vessle considering her small size and lack of serious Starfighter support. During the Shadow War, John Sheridan's Army of Light commanded over eighty Whitestar-type craft. At the Battle of Coriana VI more than half of these ships were destroyed by the Shaodw Battlecrabs and Vorlon Dreadnoughts. After the battle ended, the fleet was recalled to Mibar for refitting and rearming. However, icy relations between the Minbari and the other races has led to these vessels remaining on Minbar in the service of the Minbari Federation. While this has caused bad blood between Sheridan and the Grey Council, it has done more to create fear that the Minbari are intent on another crusade across the galaxy. |
