Babylon 5 Skin Dancing. Whitestars battle against the Drakh - Extended Cut

Such a fun scene I wanted a second shot at clipping. Higher encode quality, a little brighter, and Delenn's lines added back in.

Drakh capital ships other than their basic attack craft are comically and disproportionally huge compared to nearly all other spacecraft seen in the series. The capital ship in this scene is over 3 kilometers long and the Drakh "mothership" seen in Crusade is over 60km long. That's three times the size of the Executor. It's one of the reasons I found the Drakh ships to never quite gel with the rest of the ship designs in the series. Even the elder races didn't have regular ships that huge.

Quoting JMS from the back of my head: "How fast is the White Star? As fast as the plot requires."
Come on, we are talking early CGI here created on computers so slow you would not believe.

@@stefans.8672 You are most likely watching this on a device that has orders of magnitude more power then those computers.

Word to the wise, when Delenn is mad, BE SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!....... Sadly for the Drakh they learned this lesson the hard way

[@tspencer227]

Except, as we learned later, it really wasn't.

@@tspencer227 yea l know but they attacked earth not minbari they never took on Delenn again

[@pendarpr]

Delenn: END THIS AWESOME!

[@victorolvera6482]

🤔 lol - It just dawn on me, that was glorified genocide. But the Drakh did ask for it. Go figure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@dwrdwlsn5]

There is a reason no one sane angered the Minbari.
This!

[@shdowreaver200]

Never, ever, upset Satai Delenn!
Never forget who she is, was & what she can do!
Earth Alliance fled before her
The Drakh underestimated her
Even the warrior caste thought she was weak and it ended badly for them.

I think the Whitestars are the best ship design of the show.

[@Lightescape1]

Better - but this sequence in particular needs a bit more dialogue for context and so it isnt just clips of ships... but still - one of my favourite battle sequences... thank you!

The shapes of those ships doesn't make sense. I would want the surface area to volume to be minimized so there is less surfacer area to protect. Also, the rotational inertia would be lower so turning would be faster or take less energy.
