The most common Minbari spacecraft seen outside of heavily traveled space lanes, the combat flyer is a small but extremely potent vessel. Like a fighter craft, it is armed with a fusion cannon system for defense. In the hands of a skilled pilot, the flyer can easily be a match for many of the frontline fighters used by other races. It is designed primarily to ensure the safe passage of individuals through space and its highly intelligent computer system allows a completely unskilled passenger to simply inform the flyer of the destination and all navigational, docking procedures and even combat maneuvers – if desired – are performed for them.

For those that do not expect to face combat, or simply wish to move larger numbers of passengers from ship to ship or planet to orbit, the older and more luxurious Halan’vir passenger flyer is better suited. Designed for up to a few dozen passengers and piloted either manually or by computer, it is rarely seen outside of Minbari space – as it would be easily destroyed by the simplest of fighters.
