Babylon 5 Vorlon Empire Starships

Vorlon Empire Starships

The guardians of Order and the self-proclaimed watchers over the younger races, the Vorlons are leagues ahead of any other race technologically speaking. Unlike the Shadows – their arch rivals – who achieved their technological mastery centuries ago and hibernated for huge amounts of time between active periods, the Vorlons have been around in many shapes throughout history. Because of this, their ships tend to reflect a more mainstream approach to function.

Growing all of their ships and structures from living biomatrices and nurturing them to have semi-sentience allows for their vessels to be thoroughly reactive and almost instinctual in combat. Living hulls, regenerating skins, bio-electric weaponry and fields – these are the benefits of having hundreds or thousands of years to evolve shipbuilding technologies.

There is little that can stand up to a Vorlon ship for long. Their electromagnetic weaponry is akin to harnessing the raw power of nature itself to destroy their enemies. Bolts of focused energy cascade from tentacle-like weapon-pods that liquefy hull materials like ice when they target a vessel, even the deadly Shadows have a difficult time withstanding their attentions for long. Their hulls learn how to better deal with hazardous attacks, each time ignoring a bit more of the damage.

Combined with their almost eerie ability to repair damage, their ships can be some of the most resilient in the galaxy – and some of the most deadly.
