Vorlon Planet Killer  WADDA SHIPVorlon Planet Killer  WADDA SHIP!!  Now were are getting to the real mothers! This ship is absolutely useless except for firing one shot at some poor planet and blowing it to kingdom come!  It is approximately five (erm.. thousand) kilometers in diameter and is the only ship of the babylonia saga to look like a flying saucer (with dangly bits at the end).  It's single armament is really just a very powerful laser beam.  The bulk of the ship is required to generate enough energy to fire the laser.  It can ONLY be destroyed by one of the other 'First One' races.  The Planet Killer is heavily defended by battle ships and fighters.

Important note from Councilor G'Xan.   "The Vorlon Planet Killer.......Now I don't know WHY several people on the Net continue to say that this ship is only 5 kilometers long as you say... This ship is at LEAST a THOUSAND kilometers across! The Vorlon Starcruisers are the ones that are 5 miles long. If you remember in the early episodes of the Fourth Season, the 5 mile long Starcruisers are seen as tiny marks in front of the huge Mothership.  I think people misunderstood Marcus when he said that he and Lyta saw that some Vorlon ships were "four of five miles across", that he meant the Planet Killers. Not true. He was talking about the capital ships, NOT the Mothership. The Vorlon Planet Killer is as big as the Death Star. And I wouldn't assume that the Mothership has no other weapons than the Main Gun."
