Two I can think of right now are the one where a freighter is attacked by
Raiders: "We'll send some warships...", whereupon two 'Furies are launched;
and the one where Sinclair's girlfriend is crashing and G'Kar
requests some "warships" to be sent to her aid - but the ships that do
turn up are Frazis, not War Cruisers.

Or hyper travel is very fast. Furies have been used to transport people
from Earth to B5 on occasion (Bester, IIRC) :/

Good points; forgot about those two.

The Bester deal is unclear as to where his origins came in that ep. I always
believed he was dropped off by a transport ship of some sort. Earth is kinda
a long ways off - 2 or 3 days in hyperspace if I remember right (this
using
White Stars). I don't have the role-playing game with me right now, but
there is a hyperspace travel map that details the distance 'tween Earth and
B5/Epsilon 3. I'll have to try and remember to look it up when I get
home.
