Canon ships

Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a list of B5 ships that are canon everywhere. Of course most people know most obvious cases, but I guess there may be several ships that have been in the show but only for a glimpse. Here's some list I made according to my knowledge:

Centauri: Vorchan, Primus, Sentri
Human: Omega, Hyperion, nova, Warlock, starfury, thunderbolt, psi corps mothership, shadow omega, explorer
Minbari: Sharlin, and Tigara (I guess this is the one in B4 episodes - although it's a millenia old...), Nial, Flyer
Narn: G'Quan and frazi, and less obvious T'Loth
Vorlon: Transport, destroyer, cruiser (heavy or light or both?)
Shadows: Ships, scouts, fighters
ISA: White Star, Victory/Excalibur
Raiders: Delta fighters, strike carrier

I don't know enough NA ship names to get there, but Drazi sunhawk & Brakiri Avioki I know for sure. Vrees had saucers, but there's again several models at Mongoose site, so I can't say for sure...

And of course space stations (not all as minis I think), B5 itself and those of Ragesh and the Narn colony that was shadow-assaulted, earth orital platforms, plus several freighters (I think there's only canon ones in the game?). Can't say much about Drakh either.

Can anyone fill my list or do corrections?
 
Centauri: Kutai and Balvarin
Raiders: Battlewagon
Human: Olympus, Shadow-Hunter
Vree: Xorr and Xill
Brakiri: Avioki
Drazi: Sunhawk
Drakh: Mothership, Light Raiders
Other: Ipsha Warglobe, Lumati Transport, Technomage Pinnace

add these for sure.
 
Centauri: We also see the Demos (in series 5) sepcifically as it fires balistic torpedoes

Narn: "I do believe you've got it surrounded"

Earth Alliance: We also see the Olympus gunship in 'In the Beginning' and in 'Gropos' we see a Badger starfury briefly (it has a tail gunner).

Minbari: It's a Tinashi actually, we never see a Tigara onscreen.

Vorlons: It's the heavy cruiser we see onscreen.

ISA: We also see the Bluestar in 'sleeping in light'. We never see the Nolotar/Liandra though. Nope. WE NEVER SAW THEM. IT NEVER HAPPENED :P

Raiders: I believe we see a battlewagon in one epsiode? I could be wrong there though. We certainly see freighters (modified or not).

Psi Corps: The shadow hunter makes an apperance in one episode of crusade

Brakiri: We only see the Avioki as far as Im aware

Vree: We see the Xorr and the Xill on numerous occasions

Drakh: We see heavy raiders and we also see various heavier ships though they seem to look quite different onscreen to the minis in some cases....

Drazi: We see Sunhawks, Warbirds, at least one Strikehawk and Sky serpents

Abbai, Pak'Ma'Ra, Dilgar, Gaim: We never see their ships

Ancients: All seen in 'Into the Fire'

Technomages: Pinnace seen on numerous occasions in crusade

Ipsha Warglobe and Lumati Transport are both seen on one occasion, the Hurr never are though.

Have I missed anything?

Ok when do we EVER see a Kutai or Balvarin? I cant remember EVER seing a Centauri warship in any of the shows or movies that wasnt a primus or vorchan hull....


As for the Drakh, see my previous post ;) Pretty sure the raiders we see are the heavier variety and whilst we do see various cruisers/motherships Im not sure you can really count the ACTA versions as 'canon' since they dont really look THAT close to whats shown onscreen.....
 
Drazi: Darkhawk (in S5, loads of Drazi ships firing missiles at Centauri, they are Warbird-style hulls though)
 
Centauri: Primus, Vorchan, Sentri, shuttle, atmospheric shuttle, liner/freighter, scarab transport, Balvarin, Kutai. Ragesh colony.

Narn: T'Loth, G'Quan, Frazi, transport. Stations: listening post and Quadrant 14.

Minbari: Sharlin, flyer, Nial, Tinashi, transport.

EA: Omega, Hyperion, Nova, Explorere, Warlock, Aurora, Badger, Thunderbolt, Explorer, Olympus, Shadow Omega, breaching pod, EarthForce One, shuttle, atmospheric shuttle, maintainance fury, Shadow Hunter. Orion space station, Babylon 5, GOD sattelite.

ISA: Whitestar, Victory, Valen (LotR), Valen (TLT), Bluestar, Liandra.

Vorlon: transport, fighter, planet killer, destroyer, cruiser.

Shadows: ship, scout, fighters, cloud.

Drakh: raider, breaching pod/shuttle, cruiser, two sorts of mothership/carrier, tanker.

First ones: five types.

Brakiri: Tashkat, Avioki.

Vree: Xill, Xorr

Drazi: Sunhawk, Sky Serpent, Warbird, shuttle

Others: Markab ship, Lumati transport, Ipsha warglobe, Moradi warship and shuttle, Redhelm ships and breaching pod, Thrirdspace ship and fighters, Technomage pinnace.

Civilian ships include: liner, freighter, tanker, Ironheart's transport, Marie Celeste, cargo handling drone, Skydancer.

Psi Corps: mothership and Black Omega.

There are at least two other un-named races that have ships.


Edit: wow, while I was typing this there were a bunch of replies.

I forgot the raiders: strike carrier, delta-V, battlewagon (Thirdspace I think), C&C station.
 
Also techincally I believe the Primus that attacks the station at the end of series 2 is I believe supposedly a secundus (since it only fires ion cannons/twin arrays/heavy arrays depending on which version of b5wars/ACTA you look at ;))

Really? When, will go back and try to spot them :P

EDIT: Do you mean in the bottom right corner for a nanosecond in the clip of them fighting against the EA? cos if thats all Im not sure you can really say: yep that's a Balvarin, its little more than vague silouette... still not sure where the Kutai is supposed to be?
 
the balvarin is in the battle scene, um, i think lower right to the Warlock. the tashkat also I recall is seen lower rightof B5, it's a bit cutoff in the scene i remember, kinda a greyish and yellow colouring
 
If we are including variants (which are actually a product of the games rather than the show)

Secondus, Demos, Darkhawk, Pulse Omega, pak'ma'ra Warbird, Strikehawk.
 
There are TLT images and links to images in this thread: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29618&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=balvarin&start=0

You can see the Tashkat in some of the Brakiri fleet shots when they are getting ganked by the Shadows in the series.
