Description: As of 2262, there were only two of these prized Sharlin variants in service to the Anla’shok. By all accounts, they would have created more but were stymied by the rise of the Minbari Civil War and then the mounting Centauri and Drakh problems that consumed so much of the Rangers’ resources. These floating training camps and resource facilities stayed most of the time traveling in hyperspace from safe point to safe point to keep them out of harm’s way, but occasionally would emerge from their travels to unleash the might of the Anla’shok upon their foes.

Each Tara’Lin is considered to be a fully operational training center and asset stockpile with dozens of vehicles and supplies to deploy with the hundreds of Rangers on board when necessary. As with any Sharlin they are thoroughly protected from outside threats with an array of fusion cannons and potent neutron weaponry. Between the lethal weaponry and the scores of well-trained Rangers, each Tara’Lin is a fleet unto itself – but a resource far too rare and important to simply waste in common engagements or equal battles.
