The Nial has been the main front-line fighter of the Minbari Federation for centuries and is an utterly lethal craft. Benefiting from the same jamming technology common to all Minbari vessels, the Nial is exceptionally maneuverable and is armed with tri-linked light fusion cannon powerful enough to utterly destroy any craft of similar size before the enemy craft can manage to get a lock-on.

Though short-ranged, the Nial’s advanced flight control system allows its pilot to plot and complete many actions without effort, leaving him to concentrate on the most important tasks – a vital advantage in combat.

Devised by the Anla’shok, a more streamlined version of the lethal Nial – the Va’Nial – is a slightly less powerful fighter capable of reaching hard-to-follow speeds and tightly compacted turns and maneuvers that allow it to make pass after pass unafraid of enemy dog-fighters. The warrior caste dislikes them overall, but the Rangers seem happy to have something as fast and as agile at their disposal.
