    Blue star fighter?

    Well, the Starfury is the spacegoing equivalent of a Bulldozer or Semi truck engine with a cockpit for the driver. Everything else is a strap on package. Weapons systems, for instance. JMS said in one post that More Starfuries are used in Construction than as fighters. The trick is that...

    Blue star fighter?

    The Blue Star was as much (maybe more) a Courier Boat as a fighter. It was a small, extremely fast ship that could be used to carry important messages that no one wanted to risk over the Stellarcom where someone might tap the lines. Sheridan was using his Blue Star as a personal runabout...

    Jerry Doyle in Rangers ???

    Garibaldi is one of the Least Likely characters to have much to do in Rangers. He's now the head of a Major Multiplanetary corporation. That's a 36 hour a day job. He's not going to have a lot of Time to be running around the galaxy playing Ranger. JMS said Rangers is a New Story. All the...
