Babylon 5 Tashkat Class Cruisers

From Episode D6: Star Wars D6 Wiki

Tashkat Class Cruisers
After seeing the results of the Earth-Minbari War and knowing that they would never be able to withstand such an assault, the Brakiri collectively came together into a single ship design and construction project as one entity for the first time since their conception generations earlier. The result was the highly advanced and expensive Tashkat cruiser. Relatively few in service due mostly to their sheer expense, the deployment of the Tashkat has raised eyebrows with fleet spies of nearly every other major race. The focused graviton beams on the prow can match the heavy lasers of Earth in raw destructive capability, while the highly scientific graviton shifters can ruin the combat maneuvers of any enemy fl eet, breaking any momentum before it can launch a concerted attack with their primary weapon systems.

After a decade of the Tashkat’s success, especially during the Shadow War, the Brakiri came together again under the fl ag of the Interstellar Alliance to create another technological marvel – the Takata. Officially classed as an experimental vessel, the Takata was designed to carry new gravitic mine weapon systems into battle to be tested against a new enemy; the Drakh. Hurling tiny gravitic anomalies at one another to create massive energic backlashes at extreme ranges, the Takata also retains the formidable firepower of its parent ship, making it a formidable warship to face at closer ranges as well.
