Description: Vorlons are the most technologically advanced race yet encountered by the young races in the galaxy as of the 23rd Century. Even their transports, while rarely seen, are beautiful wonders to behold. Like all Vorlon vessels, the transport is a product of highly advanced bio-technology grown in a living matrix deep in the Empire – in a strange way, it is alive and sentient. By all accounts they seem capable of flying themselves without direction from the Vorlon pilot.
Although classified and utilized as a transport, this vessel is very well armed and quite capable of defending itself against almost any attackers, with its superior durability and electromagnetic based weapon systems keeping it and its treasured passenger(s) safe from harm. There has never been a successful attack on a Vorlon transport in which the passenger came to harm. Bred for over protectiveness and unwavering loyalty to its owner, the transport will never allow anything to happen so long as it can help it.
