Notes:

  • Lightning Cannon: This weapon can only be fired once a minute, after which the ship is defenseless for one minute as firing this weapon requires all available power.
  • Active Chaff: A refillable deployment system for positively-charged chaff particles (energized pieces of matter that are refractive in design) the active chaff dispenser showers a large area of space whenever triggered. The chaff particles are too light and flimsy to do much at all to solid matter or particle weapons but their crystalline shape and internal sensors baffle, bend and diffuse energy better than anything else.

Description: Designed by request of President John Sheridan, the Victory-Class destroyer was commissioned for the Interstellar Alliance in recognition of their need for a heavy capital ship. They needed something with a bit more staying power when they were forced to engage any threat too large for the White Star fleet – should one exist. Headed by Edgars Industries in co-operation with the Earth Alliance and Minbari Federation, the ship was created in two prototypes; the Victory and the Excalibur. Used to successfully defend against a Drakh operated planet killer, the ships were a great success. However, as it was the sacrifice of the Victory who actually destroyed the super weapon, the rest of the line would forever be titled in its honor.

The Victory has the finest technological systems of both designing races, along with additional technological advancements reverse engineered from leftover Vorlon parts scattered around the galaxy. Most (in) famous for its lightning cannon – said to be the most powerful weapon in space – the Victory can obliterate entire capital vessels in one devastating volley if necessary. Firing the enormous weapon system is only a checkmate-style tactic, as it requires all available power on the ship to fire, leaving the vessel vulnerable to attack should anything survive the stream of electromagnetic force.

Even without firing the lightning cannon even once the Victory is a powerful combatant and the primary battle flagship for the Interstellar Alliance. With advanced armor and chaff dispensers at its disposal, the ship can absorb heavy amounts of firepower while punishing any foe that draws too near to its vast array of deadly weapon systems.
