I want to introduce the Inter-Galactic Law Enforcement Agency/Military Division's new battle ship called "Shahondradon".

Join the briefing...

I.G.L.E.A. Military Base Manipura 07:00 :

The auditorium is filled with IGLEA military personnel all in military fatigues. Even Ohnmeis's team were issued IGLEA military gear. The auditorium seated 10,000 people. The seats were filled to capacity. Ohnmeis was thinking about when she was an Ajnaese operative, long before IGLEA existed. Her mission was to retrieve an artifact of Ajnaese origin from the Spliftan regime. 

Chief Administrator Konfli approaches the podium. "Good Morning. I'm not a man of a lot of words so let me cut to the chase. We are in a critical situation. We've been in touch with our allies at Roswell and Wright-Patt and the situation is not good on Earth. They are at the end of another Civil War in the U.S. The U.S. may be in another war trying to stop a government from world domination. This sounds like Sarang's M.O., but first things first. Marcus McCaine, please step forward Sir. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Strat~7 Agent Marcus McCaine. He will be heading up our mission. Today I'm commissioning Agent McCaine to the rank of Commander Quad~Star. He is qualified. The Supreme and myself have the highest level of confidence in him." Konfli shakes his hand and presents Marcus with his new badge. Marcus takes to the hovering podium with the IGLEA seal. He shows his new badge. The audience applauds. Marcus looks out into the audience and sees a sea of people cheering him on. The roar of the crowd was over whelming. "I thank you so much and this promotion comes as a surprise and an honor, more applause... We are about to embark on a rescue mission with two objectives. One to arrest and bring Kwarina, General Kiragu Sarang into custody or kill her, which ever comes first. I prefer her alive so that she can be charged with kidnapping and crimes against humanity and also to bring Stevia Ang home safely to her family. This will not be an easy mission. Aside from the intelligence that we have. We don't have a lot of information to go on. So this is what will happen. We will get outside earth's atmosphere cloaked. I will send a small team down to investigate. One team will be briefed at Roswell and another at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The teams will be provided military housing. Those two teams will be selected before we get there. Those of us that don't have human features and can no way pass for human, we have the technology to compensate for that. Your direct commanding officers will give individual instruction on this, as each individual may have unique features.
We will be taking five Alliance SS 52 Gun Ships with a new addition to our fleet. I want to unveil to you our new starship "The Alliance White Star" code name will be "Shahondradon". This ship was custom built for us. Let me tell you about the ship. The White Star class of ships were build by the Minbari to serve as the front line ships for the Army of Light. With the inclusion of the most advanced of their technology, and the addition of standard Vorlon technology, these ships were the most powerful ships built by any of the younger designers until the Interstellar Alliance had the Victory Class Destroyers built. Even so, it is still by far the most powerful ship in the galaxy when the power to size ratio is taken into account.
Although the ship is some 268 meters long, it is powerful and agile enough to combat fighters, and if a skilled pilot of a starfighter is used to pilot Shahondradon, which we have. We can't be beat. Let me tell you, Commander McCaine said with enthusiasm. Its array of weapons is however more than powerful enough to allow the ship to fight capital ships of the line of any of the younger designers. A Single White Star has more firepower than a Spliftan Death Star Destroyer and in the Phase World terms is more powerful than any single ship smaller than a Protector class battleship, not including other ships missile launchers. There is a good chance even with missiles because the missile will be unable to lock onto a target in many cases.
The ship is armed with a Vorlon Quantum Gravitic Discharge Cannon for its primary weapon. This weapon is capable of destroying a CAF Warshield class cruiser with just two shots. Supporting this weapon system, the ship carries four fusion guns and four neutron cannons. If this ship has any weakness, the weakness is that this ship does not carry missile launchers.The hull of the White Star is made up of a special Vorlon organic material and can both repair itself and can adapt to attacks to reduce damage. No attack does full effect on the hull more than once.
The White Star also has shields that consist of alternating gravimetric distortion waves and complex field of energy fields. These shields disburse any and all energy (including Kinetic) fired upon the White Star leaving only a fraction of the blast. A down side is that these shields can be dropped by being hit by powerful weapons or can be dropped by multiple volleys from less powerful weapons.
The ships subspace propulsion is by Vorlon Gravitic propulsion with Mimbari Ion/Fusion Engines as backup. The ship can use the Gravitic propulsion to act as a tractor beam. The ship also has the ability to form its own jumpgate and is presently the smallest ship constructed by the younger designers that can open its own jumpgate. However, if the main quantum discharge cannon is fired on overcharge it means that energy is drawn away from the Hyperdrive, so that it takes another five extra minutes to recharge.This ship has special ECM that makes it very hard to detect and also have a sentient computer that can often complete maneuvers that the crew do not have the skills to do. This is a ship I'm very proud of to have as part of our arsenal. We shall fair well against the Spliftan forces.

Now this is what will happen. A holographic map of the decoy black hole appears. This is a gate, thee gate we will be traveling through to get to earth. This will require three jumps total per ship. When earth is visible this is when we will cloak all ships. Each ship will monitor the four corners of this planet. Captain Antu Vora will take a shuttle to Roswell, New Mexico. Myself and my team will take a team to Wright~Patt, Ohio. Everyone else will remain on alert. All intelligence will be updated from that point on and coordinated by our prospective teams. We leave in six hours.
