Description
Ported to OBJ from the model included in Firehawk600's supplemental Babylon 5 (B5) pack for the Starfleet Command (SFC) series of video games. Based on the original design as created for and seen in the B5 television series. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD.
The Shadow fighter was the smallest combat vessel used by the Shadows. It was just over 15 meters long but featured the same incredible speed, agility, and effortless phasing in and out of hyperspace as did all Shadow vessels. That last also made it the smallest FTL-capable craft in known space. They were "crewed" the same way as all Shadow vessels - with captured living beings forcibly embedded into and interfaced with their systems - and because of this they gave the same characteristic agonized howl as all Shadow craft when destroyed. They had only one weapon, but it was a scaled-down version of the same antimatter-based quantum bolt cannon used on larger Shadow vessels, and could rip an unshielded target ship to shreds with a single blast. One was dangerous enough, but in sufficient numbers they could make mincemeat of entire squadrons and even some fleets of enemy vessels. In fact the only small combat craft fielded by the Younger Races to ever outclass them in the entire history of the B5 franchise was the original small single-pilot White Star prototype craft, although it was bigger.
This is a straight port with no changes by me.
While I am not making my ports of any of the models from the fan-created SFC B5 model pack available for general download, you can go get the pack and port them yourself. You can still find it on places such as NexusMods and Lone Bullet, and almost all of them (save the B5 station itself, awwwwww!) port quite easily with the SFC model format plug-in for the old Milkshape 3D modeling program. Some of the various free 3D model sites online also have free fan-created B5 CG models of various subjects, so you try searching those too.
