EXPLORER-CLASS STARSHIP
The Explorer-class starship is one of the largest mobile vessels the Earth Alliance produces (with the exception of Babylon 4). Central to the ship is a hollow cargo cavity used to store jumpgate components.
Known Explorer-class Vessels:
- Cortez (Earth Force) - under the command of Captain Jack Maynard. The Cortez' prior mission was to map sector 900 (2254 - 2259 C.E.). After repairing the Euphrates jumpgate, the Cortez restocked at Babylon 5 before returning to the deep.
- Eratosthenes (Wells Fargo) - commanded by Captain Ellasai Ferdinand VI; destroyed in Sector 913 by the Shadows (Dec. 24, 2259).
