Notes

• 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 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).

Description: A non-scout use of the formidable Leshath hull, the Tigara is a focused vessel intended to achieve space superiority in situations that do not call for a larger flagship. Tigara cruisers are quite capable of maintaining control over an area of space with their assortment of advanced weaponry, supplementing its role as a mobile command by carrying its own screen of fighters for defense against a wide variety of possible enemies.

Though few races would seriously consider open warfare with the Minbari, there are many who repeatedly try to gain access to their technologies forcefully. The Federation covers a great deal of space and they have to be inventive to keep their possible enemies on their toes. The Teshlan variant of the Tigara is often used as a long-ranged patrol vessel, where its combination of high speed and aggressive firepower can prove to be a deterrent to any sane enemy. With more traditional weapon technology than that of the standard ship, the Teshlan also proves popular with fleet commanders who prefer a more standardized armament to their ships.
