Ship Complement:
Description: Designed to be the primary carrier in the Minbari Federation, a Morshin holds over four dozen fighters for combat situations, a veritable fleet of small craft that can easily turn the tide of any battle they are deployed into. At the Battle of the Line, it was the Nial heavy fighters brought to the battle by Morshin carriers that did more damage to the defenders than any other kind of ship in the fleet.
This is not to say that the Morshin’s sole role is to bring fighters to an engagement. While Morshin carriers are not as heavily armed as many other Minbari vessels, they do possess enough firepower to deal with most vessels light enough to evade their fighter screens. Even heavier vessels may find their fusion cannon barrages debilitating over a few volleys – leaving them as carcasses in the void to be picked apart by Nials.
