*'''EM Shield '''(See Notes)
*'''EM Shield''': Found only on the White Star, this Vorlon device disrupts the ability of enemy vessels to target the ship but disrupts the ship’s own targeting sensors. The EM shield may be fired as part of any defensive action. However, it also suffers a –1D+1 penalty to any attempts to use its own targeting computer to attempt or hold on to a weapons lock on another craft.

*'''Adaptive Armor''': Found only on the most advanced spacecraft that use bio-technology, adaptive armor is a layer on the hull that can intelligently and automatically react to any incoming fire. By moderating its surface, conductive properties and introducing reflective enhancements within a fraction of a second, the energy of any attack may be dissipated, leaving just the actual force of the blast to strike the hull. Adaptive armor will automatically quarter the Total Offense of any barrage that hits it.
*'''Living Ship''': The Vorlons and Shadows are masters of bio-technology, to the extent that they are able to construct (or perhaps grow) spacecraft that are actually sentient and aware. It is able to make intelligent decisions for itself. It is able to execute up to five orders per turn. It has a skill rating of 14D+1 for all skills. If this special ship trait is ever neutralized, the craft must have its command functions taken over; else it becomes merely a drifting hulk.

When a flight group of these fighters focuses its attention – and its weapons – on even a larger capital ship, they find it easy to carve off large chunks in seconds. Their discharge arrays pour fire into a target while their multi-directional bio-drives allow them to dance around it, never letting it out of their sight, or line of fire.

Description: The only defense the relatively slow-moving Vorlons have against enemy fighters and fast-attack cutters, the Vorlon fighter is more a very small ship than it is an actual fighter.

Fast and maneuverable in comparison to their bigger brethren, the Vorlon fighter is a powerful combatant that can absorb a great deal of damage that would otherwise cripple other races’ fighters. Using these natural defenses, they can get in close to an enemy and unleash a very powerful stream of electromagnetic discharges not unlike those that come from the weapons of a destroyer, just on a smaller scale.

When a flight group of these fighters focuses its attention – and its weapons – on even a larger capital ship, they find it easy to carve off large chunks in seconds. Their discharge arrays pour fire into a target while their multi-directional bio-drives allow them to dance around it, never letting it out of their sight, or line of fire.
