Note: The Earth Alliance has yet to perfect artificial gravity technology
and the crew is subjected to a zero gravity enviroment throughout most
of the ship (including the command areas). However, the crew quarters
are located in a rotating section of the ship that creates gravity
through centripical force.
The Earth Alliance Omega-class Destroyers are the most powerful ships in
the current earth-force arsenal. They were the first new ship class to be
designed and built after the disastrous Minbari war, and they incorporated
a lot of new technology. The first Destroyer of the construction line was
the "Agamemnon", captained by John Sheridan. Most of these ships have names
based on greek history and mythology. These ships are about a kilometer long,
and are equipped with beam weapons, other heavy weapons, and interceptors.
Like most capital ships, they are not very manuevarble. There is no
artificial gravity on board any Earth Alliance ship, including these ones.
Instead the middle part of a Destroyer rotates to create gravity for the
crew. They also carry a mixed complement of Starfuries, most of them being
the new Thunderbolts. The Omega-class Destroyers are of course equipped with
jump-point generators. The Earth Alliance has since the war produced almost
200 of these powerful ships in an effort to improve Earth's defense against
alien races.
