Hello out there,
Can any of you give me any more info on the 'Schwartzkopf' seen in 'Gropos'
(this is Season 2 so should'nt need spoiler notes.)
Mark Siefert calls it a 'Nova' class Dreadnaught in his excellent B5 FT
adaptation, in the B5 Multimedia CD its called a 'Gunship'. Does anybody
have any solid info on this, ie. from Warner bros or Agentsof Gaming. Using
Mike Wikans counters for it and would like some more info if its out there.
Also has anybody seen whilst studying the episodes any example of ship
based 'batteries/interceptors' stopping fighter weapons? I know various
rule adaptations have allowed this.

I have nothing *solid* other than it strongly resembles the gunship-type
vessel we've seen in a scattering of eps here and there. It may be a
troop-transport variant of that. *shrug* AoG seems to have most of the
canon material on the B5 gaming front ( I know they talk to JMS and George
Johnsen pretty closely on stuff), and are supposed to be coming out with a
supplement in the near future with a bunch of EA ships (exactly what form this
will take I don't remember; maybe check their webpage?)

I have not yet seen a SHIP-based weapon do interception fire against
fighters, but I think we have seen B5 do just that...and B5 is just a really
really BIG ship...so I can't see why mobile ships cannot intercept fighter
weapons fire.
For what it's worth.

AFAIK it is a Nova class, which is supposed to be a forerunner of the Omegas
and to also predate the Hyperions; it seems to be much like an Omega without
the rotating section. I think it dates from the Minbari War period, so is an
obsolescent design by 2260s standards. There should be stats for it in the
Babylon Project EF sourcebook.
