Background Information

The Plot

The Drakh have attacked Earth in the hopes of nuking it to destruction. But when that failed, they went to plan B.

They unleashed a biological plague against the planet. There is no cure for the disease, and if they don't find one in five years, all life on Earth will be destroyed. It's up to the Excalibur led by Captain Gideon to find one in time.

The Ship

The Excalibur is the most advanced ship in the human fleet. A combination of Human and Vorlon technology, this ship was made to kick ass! It's got the fire power of a few white stars, and a weapon so powerful it'll destroy anything with a single blow.

So powerful in fact that it takes a minute to recharge the ships batteries afterward. only gravity and life support still function during that time (how convenient). Its the only ship of its kind since the Drakh destroyed the shipyards on their way back from attacking earth.

This sexy ship is 1.25 miles long and half a mile tall, and sports three sharp rear fins.
