In the
Babylon 5 universe, a prototype ship constructed in 2260 with elements from both
Minbari and
Vorlon technology. The first White Star was commanded by Captain
Sheridan. More ships of this class were later built.
White Star vessels are well-armed, and employ a Vorlon defense system in their hulls. Unlike most ships their size, they can make their own jump points. They are crewed by either Rangers or Minbari religious caste.
