Interstellar Alliance White Star Class Attack Ships (Command White Star 57, pictured with a squad of normal White Stars) White Star Class History The White Stars were the primary attack ship for the Army of Light during the Final Shadow War, and were the basis for the new Interstellar Alliance's new fleet.. (This Class does not differ in any way from AOG's White Star. I just waned to show off my White Star minis.) White Star Variants Color variantions Before the Vorlons went insane (from the prespective of everyone but them) and eventually left left the Galaxy, they helped the Minbari develop the White Star class attack ship. Hoping to keep thier allies on a higher technological plateau than the Shadows' allies, they gave limited bio-organic hull technology to the Minbari. The standard White Star isn't really sentient, but rather is alive like an animal. It can heal itself, and learn, but is not on the same level of evolution as the average Vorlon transport. The Vorlons decided to help the Minbari begin to develop newer, more powerful White Stars, on a limited basis. They applied the concept of "Skin Coloring" to the hulls of some White Stars under construction. The first variant, an Amethyst colored one, gained the same increases in abilities as ships in the Vorlon fleet with the same enhancement. The four White Stars of this type were followed by three Blue skinned types, which took the Azure coloring's abilities and enhanced them, and three Crimson skinned types, which actually grew small capacitors. This is where the Vorlons really began to experiment with the White Stars. The two Green skinned variants were developed to be "Smarter" than the average White Star, ie, they could self-repair more damage, had no power shortage, enhanced shields, and had a better instinct as to what an opponent would do. They could also accelerate faster than the average White Star. The single Yellow variant was a total departure for the program. It was armed with nothing but Vorlon weapons, had adaptable armor that was on par with Vorlon ships, grew a decent sized capacitor, enhanced shields, and had no power shortage. The Minbari had little control over the development of the White Star variants until just before the massive, race-wide insanity gripped the Vorlons. They designed a White Star variant to provide not only a heavy attack element, but also pay homage to the Vorlons. The single Crystal Variant (named because the skin coloring was a mix of Pearly White, Silver, and Luminous Light Grey) was actually blinding to look at, due to the power that surged through its skin. It was armed with mostly Minbari Weapons, except for the one Vorlon weapon in the nose. When the Vorlons withdrew support, the Minbari were no longer able to produce White Stars with skin color variation. These were the only examples of these ships. (The inspirsation for these ships came to me while I was reading some of the Wars of the Ancients stuff. I know these are so far fetched that they'd never, EVER exist, but I thought it was a neat concept.)
