Omega Class The Omega class is a heavy warship which serves many of the primary functions for the post-Minbari War 'Earth Alliance' military. It is a heavily-armed front line destroyer that also carries several squadrons of Starfuries for fighter support. The class was developed following the Earth-Minbari war and is based heavily on the design of the older Nova class dreadnought. However, the Omega-class destroyers are significantly longer than the dreadnought due to the addition of a central rotating section that provides a 1-g, simulated gravity environment. Built upon a hollow magnetized driveshaft, the rotating central section is used for habitation. It contains the crew quarters, medical bay, main computer systems, and the ship's three control centers. The forward and aft sections are zero-g, and consist of the Hangar (forward) and Engineering (aft) sections.

Omega-Class destroyers are heavily armed with weapons developed during and after the Earth-Minbari War. Their arsenal includes 18 pulse cannon turrets and 18 X-Ray particle/lasers based on technology the Narn stole from the Centauri Republic and sold to the Earth Alliance. The two forward hangar racks have sufficient capacity to carry up to 36 Starfuries of varying types.

The crew complement for an Omega Class destroyer may vary from 360 to more than 1000 (EAS Cerberus crew was 360, and in the episode End Game Franklin states they may be 1000 people on each destroyer.) Also death toll of the Roanake was stated at 547. Those variations may be crew requirements due to mission profile (ie: additional troops).
The Omega-Class was the central combat vessel to both sides of the Earth civil war, in which forces led by John Sheridan attempted to overthrow President Morgan Clark. The Earth Alliance Civil War is an armed conflict in the Babylon 5 series, in which President Clark dissolves the Earth senate and orders martial law throughout the Earth Alliance worlds. ...

Shadow Enhanced Omega Class Ships Referred to as the 'Omega-X' class, these warships were developed to test experimental technology acquired by President Morgan Clark's regime prior to the Earth Civil War of 2261. Excavations of ancient Shadow vessels found on Mars and Ganymede had yielded a few technological advancements far beyond standard Earth Alliance technology, although most aspects of the Shadow vessels were completely beyond the comprehension of every scientist assigned to study them. However, Fusion Beam weapons technology and new stealth technology, based on Minbari designs, as well as reverse-engineered Shadow bio-armor, were slated for testing to be used on the new Warlock class destroyers, which were still under construction.

The arrival of the White Star fleet and the rebel faction's string of victories forced Clark to order his engineers to send the experimental testbed warships into action against Sheridan's forces. These ships were still incomplete, with largely inexperienced crews; however, their weaponry and new armor proved to be nearly a match for the White Stars sent up against them. The twenty White Stars completely destroyed the twenty modified Omegas, but were in turn almost totally destroyed themselves. The White Star is a fictional, medium-sized combat spacecraft type employing a mix of Vorlon and Minbari technology appearing on the TV series Babylon 5. ...

After this engagement, no additional Omega-X destroyers were built. Following their destruction, Earth's methods of producing Shadow bio-armor were lost, but the other advancements were built into the subsequent generation of Warlock class destroyers.

The understanding gained here may have been used to create a powerful bio-warship that was running wild during the exodus of the Technomages. This bio-ship destroyed the EAS Ceberus and later self destructed, the only survivor of the incident was one Ensign, Matthew Gideon later Captain of the IAS Excaliber in Crusade.
Appearance The Omega destroyers, along with their Nova predecessors and the later Warlock Destroyers, bear a varying degrees of resemblance to several other ships seen in science fiction. The rotating section located amidships is reminiscent of the Alexei Leonov from the 1984 film 2010: The Year We Make Contact. Also, the deep bow and blocky stern resemble the Medical Frigate from The Empire Strikes Back. The Leonov was the fictional Russian spaceship in the novel 2010: Odyssey Two, and its film adaptation 2010: The Year We Make Contact. ...

The Omega contains a red-lit docking bay in the bow, a common feature in Earthforce starships, as well as the Babylon Stations. The inward-angled ventral portion of the ship's prow is reminiscent of the cheek-guards of a soldier's helmet of the Greco-Roman era. The advanced Omega destroyers engaged by Ivanova's White Stars were similar to standard Omegas, but had black semi-organic hulls and spines reminiscent of the Shadow warships from which they derived their technical advances.
