Slightly foolhardy in his earlier years, and perhaps a bit n...

Viper Mk 2

A vehicle/ship class from the Battlestar Galactica (2004) universe
The Viper MkII was heavily used in the latter part of the Cylon War and was the fighter variant used by Commander Adama when he was a young fighter pilot.

Above the receiver is mounted a lar...

A vehicle/ship class from the Babylon 5 universe
One of the most numerous vessels in the fleets of the Centauri Republic, the Vorchan is fairly weak on its own when fighting other capital ships, but it should not be underestimated. Fast, maneuverable, (thanks to a gravitic drive system) and carrying a reasonable armament of one Plasma Accelerator, two twin Particle Arrays,...

Vorkosigan

Universe
One of those rare, 'humans only' universes. This series focuses on the adventures of galactic super spy Miles Vorkosigan.

The Betans valu...
