As the chaos consumed all about them, the Abbai watched in dispair from behind their ramparts of stations and mine fields. Conscious that the storm could crash upon them they continued to preapare to defend themselves and accepted what refuges they could. Occassional Convoys of medical and aid ships made their way from the fortress and they required war ships to safeguard them. Balosian mercenaries formed much of their fighting force, although once they found out the true nature of the Vorlon pawns several brutal encounters occured between Dilgar raiders and Balosian ships nominally under Abbai Command.
Lusara Class Carrier (Lakara Variant) Battle
As fighter technology developed, the Abbia were ever conscious of the disparity behind thier own home spun designs and the rest of the galaxy. They solved the problem with money, employing stalwart Balosian mercanaries in Faloski interceptors and modifying several Lakara to carry and maintain them. Command and Control was also enhanced on these ships to try and co-ordinate with hired Balosian Cruisers.

Falkosi InterceptorsSeveral hunded fighters were sold by the Brakiri to the Abbai to replace their ageing and inadequate Kotha designs. Piloted almost exclusively by Balosian Mercanries, they fulfilled a crucil role until the the Abbai could field their own heavier design.
An Abbai fleet of ISD X- Y may replace Kotha Medium fighters with Falkosi interceptors and can purchase independant Wings of Six flights for a Patrol point.
Masara System Defense Monitor (Lakara Variant)
As the Abbai withdrew into their own space, a considerable number of their Lakara cruiser were modified into system defence monitors. With massive amounts of power needd for a Jump Engine redirected to defensive and offensive systems they were a powerful and deadily vessels for any invader to face. The older Assault Laser was re-introduced and crew levels were also able to be reduced - helping safeguard Abbai lives.
