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.

-'''Notes'''
+'''Ship Complement''':
-*'''Minbari Jamming Suite''': The countermeasure and stealth-enhancing technology of Minbari vessels is the most advanced of the Younger Races. While active, the Minbari jamming suite makes it incredibly difficult for enemy ships to pin down the location of the Minbari craft. Note that a craft equipped with a Minbari jamming suite does not suffer any of these problems when targeting another craft (even if that craft also has a Minbari jamming suite).
+*[[Minbari Federation Flyer Class Combat Fighter|Flyer Class Combat Fighter]]: 4
-*'''Minbari Flight Computer''': The computer systems built into most Minbari spacecraft are incredibly advanced, to the point where an authorized passenger simply need state where he wants to go and the vessel will simply take him there by the most expedient route, avoiding any dangers and hazards automatically. The flight computer is so advanced that it can even fulfill most combat operations successfully, with minimal input from its passengers. The Minbari flight computer may be activated during any order, though most Minbari vessels with one installed will have it permanently active. As long as it is activated, the craft may ignore any impaired penalties due to damaged control or crew areas. In addition, any Operations checks, Pilot checks or attack rolls may be made by the flight computer (4D+2).
