Is the Shadow Hunter canon?

[animus]

I don't remember this ship in the series. Where was it? Or is it an original design?

 

[Burger]

Its never seen in the series AFAIK, but it was in B5W which JMS regarded as canon.

 

[JayRaider]

I believe it appeared in Crusade.

 

[Lord David the Denied]

It was in Crusade. So yes, it's "canon."

 

[H]

yup, it makes an amazingly fleeting appearance in crusade

 

[Burger]

Ah guess all you people can't be wrong. I must get round to watching Crusade sometime!

 

[Reaverman]

Yeah, its seen briefly in Crusade

Burger dont watch Crusade, its crap

 

[animus]

Is there a screen capture of the ship anywhere on the web that you know of?

What's the strory of the ship? (I didn't see Crusade, and Christmas is months away)

 

[Twin-Linked Aldades]

Yeah, the episode where Gideon confesses his past and how he got to know Galen as the technomage picked him out of space after the destruction of the Cerberus

 

[Abraxas]

Yeah. It pops out, blows up an Omega in a single shot, flys in front of the sun... and then the scene ends.

Generally, I don't like to use B5tech.com cause they are... well, wrong sometimes. He has the episodes in which it appeared and a video of the Hybrid slicing an Omega into scrap metal.

As for the pics... the only ones I could find could not be put here. Safe to say, the Hybrid IS canon...

The Hunter appears in the Crusade episode, "The Path of Sorrows"

 

[animus]

The model looks very little like these pictures

 

[Lord David the Denied]

Actually the model's very accurate. Look closer at the first picture.

 

[captainsmirk]

Also note that the model pictured on the Mongoose website is facing the wrong way...

The "legs" need to be more splayed, imo.

 

[Reaverman]

The "legs" need to be more splayed, imo.

Yeah I thought that too, infact the mongoose hunter looks more like a cylon resurection ship

 

[Greg Smith]

It was revealed to be a secret EA hybrid ship rather than a shadow ship in the unaired Crusade episodes.

 

[Harmony]

Actually, it's a Shadow vessel that was built by the Earth Alliance...so it's not really a "hybrid" (like the Omega-E) rather it's a license produced copy.

Clarke bought the license....

For those who haven't seen Crusade...give it a go, a couple of the episodes are easily the equal of the best of Babylon 5; the one with the Hunter and "Each Night I Dream of Home" being the obvious examples, and unfortunately; it was going to get a lot better (the scripts that weren’t filmed attest to this).

 

[Locutus9956]

well tbh its not exactly a hard modelling task to bend the legs out a little if you think they need it....

And like it or not the mini is a pretty good replica of the one we see on screen.

As for crusade itself, sure its not up to B5 standards but theres far worse out there (I actually quite enjoyed some of it and felt it was just starting to get interesting when it got canned )

BEHOLD the Nemesis Advanced destroyer as it should have been :lol:
