Stribe are an aggressive race who are only now recovering
from a war they had with the Minbari some 200 years ago. Information
available suggests that the Stribe were present during the
last Great War some 1,000 years ago and are technologically
just a step behind the Minbari.
This cruiser, which was responsible for attacking and destroying
several ships from the Earth Alliance, Narn Regime and several
races in the League of Non-Aligned worlds in 2259.
Stribe are apparently in possession of teleportation technology,
not unlike similar technology used by the Vree. Indeed the
Stribe bare a striking physical similarity to the Vree, save
they have larger heads and vertical red slits in their eyes.
Some have suggested that the Stribe may be a breakaway of
the Ventukie Conglomerate, a point that the Vree adamantly
deny.
Stribe cruiser, which Earth Alliance intelligence had dubbed
an "Aggressor class Cruiser" is some 800 meters in length,
with polycrystalline hull. Despite the organic appearance
of their vessels, Stribe ships are not comprised of bio-armor,
rather this appearances is due in most part to design preference.
Stribe cruiser apparently uses a low level gravimetric drive,
superior to both the Centauri and the Vree, but only just.
Weapons on this class vessel are believed to consist of several
strobed anti-proton beams, enhanced via the use of gravimetric
technology similar to Minbari weapons.
Stribe are definitely one of the most advanced races encountered.
Despite their technological advantage over many races the
Stribe have, fortunately, never been a serious military threat
due to their limited resources. This was a key factor in their
scout mission in 2259, as the Stribe probed for races that
they could potentially conquer.
Following a run-in with the Earth Alliance Omega class Destroyer
Agamemnon where in which the Stribe Cruiser pictured above
was destroyed, the Stribe again retreated back to their own
home world. they have not been seen outside their home system
since.
