I have a problem regardin Drazi fleet.

They have two major warships and one fighter, these are Sun Hawk Mark 1 and 2 and Sky Serpent.

The problem is Sun Hawks fighter carrying capacity which is only 1.

Making missions only in Drazi space can be quite restricted for imagination.

Sun Hawks does not have independent jump capability but they can use jump gates, that's not a big problem.

But what about fighters? They can't come long distances without help, so do we need some kind of carrier for the MOD?

In the show we saw very few fighters outside of Drazi space, but Sun Hawks are not pilotable?

It's not quite nice if the mission needs more than one fighters but only one Sun Hawk is allowed to be in this mission for balance reasons.

And scouting missions are hard to do without a ship with independet jump capability and more than one fighter compliment.

This is problem to me because I am trying to do story for Drazi campaign.

I have so much ideas, maybe they aren't so unique but at least they are ideas, but this problem is severe hit for my story.

What I should do?

contact me about that , we should meet in a chat-room when both online.

Let's have a look at the Drazi.

Their ships have sufficient firepower and thick armor plating.
Obviously Drazi fleets are not very mobile.
So , Drazi design is layouted for solid defense, that's a good reason why the centauro suffered many casualties when they attacked Drazi space.

1. The Skyserpent is the craft Marcus used to fly from Sagross 7 to Babylon 5. He could have flown further if his ship hadn't been damaged.

2. But who says they are only using Skyserpents and Sunhawks ? We know the Drazi have supported the Raiders to increase their sphere of influence in secrecy. I can well imagine that the Drazi have a few Raiders-carrier vessel with Zephyr complement at their disposal. Like this they can spy out regions without even come under the suspect of commiting espionage actions.

3. And we know little about the relationships the Drazi have with other races of the league. Hyperspace capabilitiy is a very common technology, and since the Raiders have it I am sure the Drazi have jump-capable capital ships. When the Narn and the Drazi bombed Centauri Prime they didnt came out the local jumpgate , did they ?

So, the Drazi have lots of "hidden" ressources and I am sure this could make up a great campaign ! So, make it a good one !

Thanks Skullar.

Raiders, hmmm let's think.

Zephyrys isn't very good fighter, I would prefer more Sky Serpent over Zephyrus, except for scouting.

Hmm, I have to think about this more now.

Very cool ship

Is there a list somewhere that says what campaigns are in the making? I think there's the Earth Civil War, Eath-Minbari War, Narn and now Drazi campaigns. Any more?
