Welcome back,

So tonight I decided to keep trudging forward and keep thinking Logistically. As of right now, we’ve all just Sean the last 3 Major Models pop up. All very much themed. First, a jump gate builder, then an EF Planetary Bombardment Ship, and then a Planetary stationed Super Dreadnought. The movement thru these models are “Island Hopping” if you will well into the Earth Minbari War. That’s right, almost all models I made are pre Babylon 5 story. This is no exception. However, interesting enough, there storylines all interconnected here. So if your new, please take your time and explore this shoe horned post Dilgar, Pre Earth Minbari War and Earth Minbari War models stories told over the elevolution of both pre coflict and duration.

Now this ship to be specific grapples a not so easy to discuss part of Nautical Naval History. So please, if you’re ready, please give yourself for some room for cognitive dissonance. I don’t condone all of this ships history; with Earth Force being the bunch that they are. But hey, I haven’t changed them to Star Trek at least, This ships service record will really tell the character element deeply. So if you decided to stop reading soon, no hard feelings.

But first let’s cover Design Intent. It’s a remix of Explorer and Earth Force One, no guns. But tons of Star Fury’s. Firstly the Fore Sections really hides its abilities very well. Ventral side (bottom side) in the fore section, you’ll find diagonal slanted surfaces. Those are bay doors that are there to recover shuttles and Starfury. Yes this Model has a central Logistics System as it is Rotational and its 0 G at the center. We’ve talked about the advantages of that before. We have a series of Crew Areas (smaller spheres) & up front and, comms antenna arrays. Midships are dominated with Rotating Habitats with StarFury Hangers adorning it, for defense,

The idea here is that initially these ships would be from the pre Jump gate discovery era, where human life is ready to make the long voyage into the stars. The Engines are aft, but everything along the Stem is extremely reinforced and strong. With multiple layers of truss and alternating corridors.

So every ship sees different parts of history. Not all good.

This ship was intended to colonize uninhabitable planets.

It’s then created Colonies.

And then evacuated civilians under Dilgar invasion. This is where the double spheres in each sphere section is important, the smaller inside sphere again is for ship crew and hospital. The larger, then living quarters (larger spheres), The outer hallways go straight to the next crew area as each sphere is isolated. This is a Military Ship at this point. As civilians and combatants were taken from the Dilgar Planets, the “Trail of Tears began”. Forcing Dilgar out of their homes as Earth Force claimed the Planet. So this ship would carry in troops and supplies and leave with refugees never to return. A ship of tears.

The ship would repeat the sequence of events with both pre Babylon wars. So there you have it. A Naval vessel with some touchy stuff historically in there. Remember, this is Babylon, not real day and not a reflection of human history or current issues we face as a people, I kept the Explorer Engines in back. Yes the centers rotate at speed but are compartmentalized to force egress from stopping. It’s an extremely detailed model. So Take your time and turn that retraction up. I’d say the ships are 50 years old at this point.

Enjoy!
