    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    The Poseidon class supercarrier is from the Babylon 5 Wars tabletop wargame by Agents of Gaming. I don't know where it ranks in canon these days, but when it was being produced B5Wars was an official Babylon 5 product. That being said, I don't think the Poseidon ever got an actual size figure...

    Presumably he's talking about the XM274 ARES 75mm gun which was intended for the Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank (RDF/LT). Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank by AAI Corp?

    Series set in Majority-Transhuman Futures

    Earth doesn't show up too often in the main books as most of them are focused on either the Skolians or the Eubians. The Allied Worlds of Earth do have diplomatic relations with both nations that change over the course of the series, but they generally distrust both sides and consider them...

    Invading Hell, Heaven, Supernatural Realms and/or Eldritch Locations

    The Salvation War by Stuart Slade certainly qualifies. It's being reposted at this forum, although it looks like it's on hold at the moment.

    Napkinwaffe (all the world's most ridiculous[ly amazing] never-built airplanes)

    I had a strong interest in World War II aircraft for some time, and I developed a liking for Italian planes. This is the Aeronautica Umbra MB.902, a large single seat twin-engine fighter project. The odd thing was that the two DB 601 or 605 engines (sources vary) were buried in the fuselage with...

    Sexy Starships

    Almost all of the Minbari War Cruiser's forward-facing antennas and a few of the rear-facing ones have been shown firing beams at various points throughout B5, so they are indeed well-armed. They've never fired everything at once, though - given the computers available when the show was being...

    All very true. It's too bad the show only got two seasons.

    Why Did You Choose To Register & Enter This Thread?

    I saw an announcement thread on another forum a few months ago, decided to join after a lot of lurking and reading. Normally I'm a dedicated lurker, but the increased sci-fi focus around here means that I might post a little more often than usual.

    What If? Gender Mixed Armies in Fantasy

    The cranequin was in use during the 15th and 16th centuries and could be used to span a crossbow while on horse back. Tod of Todsstuff shoots a medieval 450lb cranequin hunting crossbow (he starts loading the crossbow at around 0:57)
