About this converter
Babylon 5 ships have unusually firm lengths because the effects team scaled from one station. Babylon 5 itself is 8064.5 meters long in the Security Manual map, and the Severed Dreams battle lets analysts check every capital ship against it. The Omega destroyer at 1714.3 meters is the best verified figure, signed off by CGI director Tim Earls. The Nova at 1455.6 shares its space frame minus the rotating section. Minbari hulls bracket Earth hulls: Sharlin at 1600, White Star at 475. The Victory at 3020 is the longest warship here, over one and a half Omegas. Fighters close the table at 9.8 and 15.5 meters so the scale jump stays visible.
How to use it
Pick two vessels and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first ship, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the length in the chosen unit. Try 1 Babylon 5 against Omegas to see how many destroyers fit along one station.
Lengths are prime-timeline TV and movie figures. Mongoose RPG and Agents of Gaming stats are used only where they match the TV model scale, and each entry names that. Vorlon and Shadow planet-killers have no fixed meter figure and stay out.
