Babylon 5 Xorr Saucers
Xorr Saucers
Among the oldest ships in the Vree military forces, the simple ‘war saucer’ is outclassed by most modern capital ships but remains a fantastic basis on which the Vree can modify and test new design ideas without spending too much in refits and design costs. The dodging motions and flat saucer shape of the Xorr often confuses enemies in battle without impairing the adaptable firing arcs of the saucer itself – as it can quickly change direction and momentum to face new threats without trouble. This, combined with its main weaponry mounted on two lateral turrets, can remind captains of far larger vessels why the venerable basic model is still around.
Using similar component-style weapon layouts, the Xorr can be transformed into a number of varied brethren and back again in any of the dozens of Vree spacedocks hidden away in League territory. For instance, stripping the larger turret weaponry off in favor of a number of fighter-seeking antiproton guns creates the inexpensive and utterly expendable Ximm escort. While Vree fighters are nothing to ignore, they are often outnumbered and require the Ximm’s backup to stay in the battle and complete missions they were deployed for. A rare and unusually static version of the Xorr, the Xixx ‘torpedo saucer’ is little more than a firing platform. Even the menacing Xirr, an experimental vessel that abandons antiproton technology altogether in favor of an impossibly large-bored antimatter cannon, is based on the old hull, making the Xorr the most used hull in Conglomerate space in one form or another.
