The Minbari Flyer is a very common Minbari transport, capable of both space and atmospheric flight. Most flyers can carry only one crewman, though larger classes of this vessel can carry several Minbari citizens.

Military issued Flyers are used by the Minbari Military as short-range communications vessels, equipped with tachyon booster equipment that allow Minbari vessels to communicate both directly and instantaneously with their leadership on Minbar, while thousands of light-years from Minbari space and are often used as scout ships.

Military Flyers have two beam weapons, no independent Jump capabilities and have a speed of six BoPrills. Though Flyers do employ a type of gravimetric propulsion system, they lack the power to provide artificial gravity for the crew. This is due to the high power consumption of the gravimetric drive.
