Omega Class Destroyer
The Omega-class destroyer is a fictional vessel used by Earthforce, the military branch of the Earth Alliance, in the science fiction television series Babylon 5. The CGI model of the ship created through an early version of Lightwave made its first appearance during the opening scene of the opening episode of the second season, "Points Of Departure", which was initially aired in the United states on 2 November 1994.
It also appears in the later, and short lived, Crusade television series, the TV movies A Call to Arms and In the Beginning as well as the The Lost Tales (the first in an anthology series which were to be released on DVD, now aborted due to funding issues) plus a number of written short stories and novels based in the same Fictional universe.
The Omega Class destroyer is the main capital ship of the Earth-Alliance military. The Omega class destroyer is arguably the strongest capital ship of any of the younger races (the other of course being the Minbari Sharlin). The Omega class destroyer is the only capital ship of any of the races that is seen in the seasons actually being able to destroy the Minbari/Vorlon hybrid, the Whitestar. This shows that Earth heavily upgraded it's weapons for the Omega class destroyer if it had the ability to destroy even a Whitestar that uses Vorlon based tech for it's hull and armor. If the Earth Omega can take out a Whitestar then it is very likely to assume it is one of the strongest capital ships of the younger races.
