With a loss of 70% of the original 60,000, the Earth Alliance probably had a total of 18,000 ships. Of the 18,000 strong fleet of the Earth Alliance, at least half of these are support vessels for the fleet - cutting us down to 9,000 vessels.
B5tech.org - The Babylon 5 Tech-Manual. 1.8 meter armored hull - 4 Mk. I Defense Grid Energy Projectors. One of the older ships in service at the time of the Earth/Minbari war, the Earth Alliance's Olympus class Corvette was the primary convoy escort ships used by the Earth Alliance Navy. At a length of some 444.25 meters.

Be the last best hope for peace with this Babylon 5 Earth Alliance ship set for your Eclipse Board Game. Jump into a new system with Cronos Interceptors, Hyperion Cruisers, and Omega Dreadnoughts along with B5 like Star Bases. These Items are made to order please add 2 to 3 days build time for. Earth Alliance Ships. To ease the clutter that was consuming the Earth Force page, I've split them into seperate pages based on the origin of the design. A couple links are repeated on different pages, since a ship may have both canon designs, and custom variants shown on the same picture.

The Ships of Babylon 5 Ships

Babylon 5 may well have been our last, best hope for intelligent space opera. Everything about this show was different - including the starships. The spacecraft of the Babylon 5 universe were some of the most exotic and imaginative found on any screen. There's amazing variety - from the icy elegance of the Minbari, to the gritty realism of the Earth Alliance, to the pure menace of the Shadows.

Alas, models of these ships have been extremely hard to come by - most of what's out there is unlicensed, expensive, and (usually) inaccurate. Revell/Monogram was the first to get an official license from the show to produce kits. Hopefully they will continue to grow their line of subjects. If you'd like to see more kits, write them and let them know what you'd like to see.

Earth Alliance

The star of the show.

Babylon 5 - Five miles long, inhabited by over 250,000 humans and aliens, the Babylon5 station was intended as a place where differing races could meet, trade, and work out their differences peacefully. Revell-Monogram's kit is the only licensed one available - though AoG will have a white metal mini out soon (before the end of '99).

R/M Starfury.

Starfury - The Mitchell/Hyundane SA-43 Starfury has been the backbone of EarthForce's fighter strength since the Dilgar War. Agile and dependable, it is a match for most other race's fighters. Though slowly being replaced by the Thunderbolt Mk3, Starfuries are still widely in service.

Image: PTEN - 1996	*Thunderbolt Mk3* - the Starfury's big brother. This craft is the first EA fighter designed to operate inside an atmosphere and in space. It's also faster and more heavily armed than the venerable Starfury. The Spacemam kit is the only one presently available.

Omega-class Destroyer - The pride of the Earth Force fleet. The first new construction after the war with the Minbari, these ships combined the technological strengths of the Hyperion-class with the frame and firepower of the Nova-class - and with a rotating section to simulate gravity, got the endurance to free them for long-duration patrols. No kits are currently made of these ships, though Spacemam is rumoured to have designs in the works.

Hyperion-class Cruiser - The first Earth Force capital ship seen in the series ( Voice in the Wilderness). The Hyperions were the main capital ships used in the Minbari War, and are still in service as escorts 15 years later. No kits are currently made of these ships, though AoG makes an acceptable while metal miniature.
