Let's not get caught in a B5 vs ST though. I love both shows, but they are very different IMHO.

Besides, wasn't all this resolved in the Spacebattles Alpha Quadrant series?

Does the whitestar have shields? Last time I checked they were so damned proud of that adapting armor but never said anything about a shield...

[Darkage]

A gravitic based shield system will disperse any and all energy fired upon the Whitestar around the ship, leaving only the kinetic impact of the blast which is created by the explosive energy released upon impact against the shields. Little to no energy directed at the Whitestar ever touches the hull; thus any weapon used against the Whitestar must be significantly more powerful than the energy output of the shields, in order to destroy the vessel in a single blow. Multiple impacts from less powerful weapons can of course result in the ships destruction.



edit I was wrong, it wasn't the bio armor. But the Grav tech on the WS.
