Earth Alliance Medusa Class Battleship (Note: The Medusa Class Battleship was orgionally going to be featured in AOG's Earth Wars supplement, but was deemed too powerful for the Earth Alliance. I was not involved in the playtesting of this ship, but I have pieced together what it might have been like from discussions on the B5W Mailing List. Presented here is an alternate history for the Medusa, one that doesn't end with her being destroyed in dock.) Medusa Class History The Medusa Class Battleships were to be the most powerful vessels the Earth Alliance ever built. Mounting Earthforce's most powerful weapons, this ship would have been able to single-handedly defeat most Minbari warships. Had it survived longer than the Battle of the Line. The Medusa was to be the epitome of EarthForce technology. Armed with two of EF's largest weapons per side, and other assorted weapons on the fore and aft, it was fully capable of destroying virtually anything short of a First One's vessel. The first and only of her kind was started shortly before the Earth-Minbari War. EAS Medusa left spacedock twelve weeks before the Battle of the Line. She immediately set course for Earth, where it was determined she would be the most use. Seeing as how she was also only two thirds complete, the final fitting out would be completed in Earth orbit. She was completed only three days before the Battle of the Line. During the battle, she was actually deemed a threat by the Minbari and was neutron lasered to death by two Shargottis, seven Sharlins, four Tinashis, and three Tigalins (neutron laser equipped Tigara variants). After her destruction, EarthForce decided to concentrate on the Omega class as their main ship of the line. No more Medusas class were ever built. The name Medusa was later reassigned to an Omega Class Command Destroyer. Medusa Class SCS
