On-screen ships?

eek

Mongoose
Hey folks, I'm a bit of a lurker but I've come out of hiding because I need a wee bit of help, and this place is the best for it. Been playing ACTA since the start of summer, and currently trying to scrape up some cash for all that new stuff just around the corner. :lol:

Anyway, I'll get straight to the point, just a small question:

What are all the ships that appear on-screen in Babylon 5 the series, plus spin-offs (but not LotR)? This is partly because I'm a bit "obsessive" (seems slightly too strong a word, but it'll do) about theming my fleets around those on-screen, and partly for another little project of mine. No matter how insignificant a part they played, I need to know of as many as possible. Now I don't expect to sit back and let you do all the work, so here's what I found so far:

Earth:
Babylon 5 (duh!)
Babylon 4
Omega
Nova
Hyperion
Warlock
Omega-X
Starfury
Thunderbolt

Vorchan
Sentri
Shuttles
Balvarin
Space Station

G'Quon/G'Quan (which one is it anyway? :? )
T'Loth
Frazi
Freighter
Space Stations

Minbari:
Sharlin
Nial
Flyer
Tinashi

League:
Drazi Sunhawk
Drazi Sky Serpent
Brakiri Avioki
Vree Xorr
Vree Xill
Drazi Warbird
Drazi Strikehawk

ISA/IA:
Victory
White Star
Blue Star
Valen

Vorlon:
Planet Killer
Dreadnaught
Transport
Fighter
Destroyer
(Light Cruiser?)

Shadows:

Hunter

Drakh:

Raider
Cruiser
Carrier

Other:

Ship of the Lumati]
First Ones
Thirdspace Fighter
Thirdspace Cruiser
Thirdspace Gate
(Ipsharian Warglobe?)


So, have I missed any? Oh, and one more thing, any idea where I can find good pictures of ships? With top/front/side views, all to scale. I've found some already, but if there's any more out there that'd be great. Can't have too many! :lol:

Thanks for your time. :)
 
I saw a pair of Centauri Maximus either side of a Vorchan in a shot of their homeworld. Could be Sentri's but they were almost the same size as the Vorchan. So I figured they'd have to be maximus.

they were sentris


just closer to the camera


There appears to be a shot of a Balvarin in the Lost Tales however.....
 
What about the red hats ships? Any info on those?I am curious if anyone has any fluff or info on who or what they are as well.
 
IIRC there are some Tinashis shown in the episode where they brin B4 back in Time. They appear in the recording from the last great war that Delenn shows the others

Then there is the Ship of the Lumati, and the ship of the race of the previous keeper of the great machine.

The shadow/Psi-Corps hunter is shown in an episode of crusade.

The Thirdspace Alien Fighter and Cruiser and the Vorlon Thirdspace gate.

2 kinds of Jumpgates, one with only 3 pylons. I believe its a Narn one.

multiple Spacestations, one big Narn one with a docked G'quan and one that looks like 4 T'loth wings connected around a central ring and by pylons between them. then The Minbari spacestation that was destroyed in the last great war and the centauri staion over Ragesh 3

In the episode deathwalker there is also an Ipsharian Warglobe. (at least I *think* thats what the this odd thing with the green central sphere is called)

//EDIT: Vorlon Destroyers are definitely shown also. and I *think* Light Cruisers also
 
If you count lost tales, the Centauri Balvarin and Kutai were on screen. Briefly and in the background, but definitely there! And the Minbari Tinashi was seen 1000 years in the past when Valen was giving Babylon 4 to the Minbari. The Drazi Warbird and Strikehawk were also on screen, the Warbird in various battle scenes and the Strikehawk when it launches Marcus in a Sky Serpent.

I saw the Balvarin but where was the Kutai?! :o

EDIT: JUST REWATCHED THE SCENE AND I SAW IT TOO! :D :shock:

How cool that the guys at B5 added in 2 ships from the game! :D
 
and don't forget the tashkat/takata was in the lost tales too, also, I believe it "may" have been in a few background shots in the series. I may watch it again, as I "think" I might have seen a Chronos too. and their is always rumours ofa chronos in "A Call to arms"
 
Minbari-wise, you also see some funky Minbari shuttles in In the Beginning (flying to leader of the rangers) and also G'kars shuttle which he buys to fly himself and Lyta around looks distinctly Minboish.
Of course you have the Tinashi-progenitor in the WWE flashback.

Then of course you have the White Star and Liandra, which were Minbari ships.

Other races: Ipsha warglobe, Lumati, and so on and so on (the three part ship from the end of 1st season). Lorien's wibbly ship. Technomage ship (in Crusade).
 
We also see a Markab ship, and a couple of battleships of this race which burned all their books and art in Crusade (forgot their name, but watched the episode early this week).

Regardless of what you think of the movie, you should really include the Liandra and Valen (mk I?). You can forget about that Hand of God ship though...

There´s Catherine Sakai´s Explorer from season 1, and we also see a Vorlon destroyer (the red one) in season 3, and a couple of older Vorlon ships (broader; looking a bit pregnant) in Thirdspace.

The last thing I can think of atm are the Centauri blockade mines, and the Centauri minefield.

I´ve seen the Balvarin in the TLT sequence, but where is the Kutai?
 
The Badger starfury, from A Voice in the Wilderness.

The Icarus.

Don't we seen an Orion starbase in flashback? Maybe in In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum?

Psi Corps Mothership

There is an unnamed Minbari shuttle in In the Beginning.

There is a Raiders command ship/base in Midnight on the Firing Line.

The ships that arrived with the Earth fleet in Severed Dreams, that look remarkably like the gunships seen in Gropos.

The bulk lifters seen in In the Beginning.

A Markab transport, Confessions and Lamentations
 
We see quite a few freighters and transports.

EA shuttles - aero and non-aero.

Civilian freighters - the 8 pod freigher, the trader with 3 parallel cylinders, the Skylark seen in Mind War, and one which looks like a crew shuttle with 4 cylindrical pods on the sides.

There is the Copernicus, from The Long Dark. And there is the Marie Celeste, seen in Grail.


There is a Centauri freighter, And Now for a Word.

There are two designes of Narn transport (By Any Means Neccesary and And Now for a Word)
