Omega Class Destroyer - Known Omega-class Vessels

Known Omega-class Vessels

Most Omega class ships appear to be named for entities in Earth mythology. However, some have been seen named for famous figures in history.

  • EAS Acheron - Delivered Captain Elizabeth Lochley to Babylon 5 in 2262 so that she could assume command of the station following Captain John Sheridan's election to the post of President of the Interstellar Alliance.
  • EAS Achilles - First Omega destroyer built.
  • EAS Agamemnon - John Sheridan was the Captain of this ship before being reassigned to the command of Babylon 5. He later commanded the final battle of the Earth Civil War from this ship.
  • EAS Agrippa - Captained by Dexter Smith, one of four ships sent by President Clark to seize Babylon 5 on 4-14-2260 to prevent its secession from the Earth Alliance. Destroyed on 4-15-2260 when the EAS Alexander fires on it point-blank. Sheridan offered to take on survivors, but the Agrippa exploded before this could occur (note that Sheridan incorrectly identifies the Agrippa as the Roanoke in that scene, despite the fact that earlier, the Roanoke had been rammed and destroyed by the Churchill).
  • EAS Alexander - One of the key vessels involved in the Earth civil war of 2260 - 2261. Commanded by General William Hague, then by Major Ed Ryan upon Hague's death in combat.
  • EAS Anubis - Mentioned by General Thompson in 2267.
  • EAS Apollo - General Lefcourt's flagship during the final stages of the Earth Civil War in 2261. Led a fleet of Earth destroyers to oppose Sheridan near Mars. Saved Sheridan by destroying the orbital defense platform he was about to ram.
  • EAS Cadmus - Fought for President Clark in the Earth civil war. Commanded by Captain Leo Frank.
  • EAS Cerberus - destroyed by an Earthforce Shadow Hybrid vessel. Ensign Matthew Gideon was the only survivor.
  • EAS Charon - Captained by Leonard Anderson. Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261. Later, Anderson took over command of the Victory during Babylon 5: A Call to Arms.
  • EAS Churchill - Captained by Sandra Hiroshi. One of the ships on the resistance side of the Earth civil war. Destroyed on 4-15-2260 when her captain rammed her into the EAS Roanoke after taking heavy damage defending Babylon 5 from President Morgan Clark's forces. The Churchill's only appearance was in the Season 3 Episode "Severed Dreams".
  • EAS Damocles - Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261. Disabled in battle near Beta IX.
  • EAS Delphi - Fought for President Clark in the 2261 Earth civil war.
  • EAS Furies - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. She decided to stand down rather than fire on Sheridan's forces. She joined Sheridan's forces following the battle.
  • EAS Heracles - One of two vessels that attacked civilian vessels attempting to leave Proxima III in 2261. Flagship of the Proxima III blockade force. Commanded by Captain Trevor Hall, who was later relieved of command by his executive officer, Commander Sandra Levitt. Taken to Beta IX for repairs following liberation of Proxima by Captain John Sheridan. Commander Levitt kept the Heracles a neutral ship for the rest of the war.
  • EAS Hermes - Flagship of the fleet that fought the Drakh during the Battle of Earth, 2267.
  • EAS Hydra - Fought for President Clark in the 2261 Earth civil war.
  • EAS Juno - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. Withdrew without engaging Sheridan's forces.
  • EAS Medusa - Stationed near the rebellious mining colony at Regula 4 in 2267.
  • EAS Nemesis - Involved in the blockade of Proxima III in 2261, where she was disabled and surrendered to Sheridan’s forces. However, she is seen amongst General Lefcourt's fleet at Mars near the end of the Earth Civil War, so it seems the ship rejoined Clark’s forces following after-action repairs.
  • EAS Nimrod - Sent by President Clark to support the seizure of Babylon 5 on 4-15-2260. Retreated following Delenn's arrival.
  • EAS Olympic - Sent by President Clark to support the seizure of Babylon 5 in 2260. Retreated following Delenn's arrival.
  • EAS Orion - Fought on the side of President Clark during the Earth Civil War in 2261, when she was disabled in battle near Beta IX. In 2267, was stationed with EAS Medusa at Regula 4.
  • EAS Persephone - Lost in action following the Drakh attack on Earth in 2267. Pursued and forced a Drakh ship down on Ceti 4, but was destroyed when battle damage caused the fusion reactors to overload. Only a message drone survived.
  • EAS Pollux - One of two vessels involved in illegal attacks on civilian vessels in 2261. She was destroyed in 2261 when a severely damaged White Star vessel collided with her.
  • EAS Pournelle - On Mars patrol in the 2250s and saw action during the 2258 Mars Rebellion, where she shot down Abel Horn's escape ship. However, it is indicated on screen that this is not a destroyer, but rather a cruiser. It is therefore possible that the Pournelle is a different ship based on the Nova/Omega heritage. However, it should be noted that the ship is mentioned when Talia Winters performs a scan on Abel Horn. Not being an Earth Alliance officer she might not know the ship class.
  • EAS Roanoke - Sent by President Clark On 4-14-2260 to seize Babylon 5. Destroyed by EAS Churchill which, on fire from earlier combat, rammed into the Roanoke broadsides, destroying both vessels. (In a later scene, Captain Sheridan offers to take on survivors from the Roanoke, but it had already been destroyed. Sheridan was actually referring to the Agrippa.)
  • EAS Talos - Supervised decommissioning of Babylon 5 in 2281.
  • EAS Theseus - Part of Sheridan's fleet during the assault on Earth's Planetary Defense Network near the end of the Earth Civil War in 2261.
  • EAS Vesta - Involved in the 2261 blockade of Proxima III. Commanded by Captain Edward MacDougan. Refused to fire on civilian refugees, and stood down rather than fight Sheridan. Following the battle at Proxima III, the Vesta joined Sheridan's fleet and fought in a number of engagements against Clark's forces.
  • EAS Zeus - Part of General Lefcourt's fleet near Mars near the end of the Earth Civil War in 2261. ("Endgame")

Famous quotes containing the word vessels:

    So near along life’s stream are the fountains of innocence and youth making fertile its sandy margin; and the voyageur will do well to replenish his vessels often at these uncontaminated sources.
