Interstellar Alliance Sinclair Class Gunship (Full size pic located at Wolf's Shipyards) Interstellar Alliance Sinclair class cruiser .The Sinclair class Gunship was built in prototype form by the Minbari with Vorlon assitance prior to the Vorlons leaving to go Beyond the Rim. It was built to supplement the White Star fleet with the firepower needed to take out larger threats than a small squadron of Whtie Stars could take out. It wasn't like there were that many like that, but the Vorlons, as usual, seemed to have an agenda that only they knew. Perhaps they were planning for a future threat, perhaps they just said "Let's see what happens" and built an HCV version of the White Star. Whatever the case, they managed to create a powerful and impressive vessel. Upon their leaving, the Minbari were still able to have limited production of these vessels, as well as White Stars and Rath'Dials, but only the second and third versions of the ship. The Vorlons seemed to take the plans for the first version with them. (Note: This ship is the brain child of CanisD, who owns the Wolf's Shipyards site. I asked him if I could submit this to Babcom for their IA issue, but didn't get it finished in time, nor could I really come up with a Babcom caliber fluff for it.)
