Shadow Battleship These resemble huge scary spiders with ten spines protruding from each side. They are as powerful as the Vorlon fighters and can also shoot a deadly slicer beam. they also have something called a Hyperwave Disrupter (according to Voltaire). They measure approximately one kilometer from spine tip to spine tip and are extremely maneuverable. They’re black of course, not just any old black, but deep black. The pilot is in there permanently, I’m not sure if he/she is a volunteer, but they are not Shadows. Like the Vorlon ships, they are made of an organic material. If damaged the ship can act like a wounded animal; depending on it’s personality, it could retreat to lick it’s wounds (unlikely) or get angry. To augment the main weapon, there is a complement of grubby little fighters. Instead of relying on jumpgates, Shadow vessels can phase into and out of normal space. The Shadow propulsion system can be detected since it leaves a tell-tale trail of neutrino emissions. This is a really nice spaceship, a gangly, but very graceful looking and smooth. By the way, if you touch this skin of a Shadow Battlecruiser you will die.
