Description: Any intruder into the Vorlon Empire’s territory is most likely to encounter one of these sleek and deadly vessels. Slim and fast, the destroyer is a close-ranged assaulter, relying on its adaptive armor, shielding and self-repairing hull to ward off the annoyances that the younger races can bring to target it. After well within an enemy fleet’s battle lines, it will use its biodrive’s maneuvering capabilities and hull endurance to bring its weapon to bear.

Unleashing a powerful stream of electromagnetic arcs, it blasts enemies to scrap metal with its powerful discharge gun. Easily confused at first sight for a Vorlon transport – and grown by the Vorlons to specifically give that impression, few captains can ever make the same mistake twice. The Vorlons are an unforgiving people, and while they do not commit their destroyers to combat often they are merciless when the decision is made.
