The Drazi Sun-Hawk, also referred to as a War Bird, is the primary warship of the Drazi Military. This vessel, as well as many other Drazi vessels, has no independent Jump capability. This lack of Hyperspace technology aboard Drazi ships is not due to a lack of technological knowledge, but the fact that the Drazi economy could not support a Hyperspace military due to their close proximity to the Centauri Republic, who stifled Drazi growth up until the ISA/Centauri war of 2262.

While their main military body is not Jump capable, through the use of Jump Gates the Drazi have been able to use this rugged gun ship to protect their small empire from invasion on several occasions. Indeed, the Drazi have been out in space longer than humanity and their technology is just as advanced, if not slightly more advanced than Earth Alliance and Narn Regime technology. Now with the Centauri Republic having pulled back to lick their own wounds, the Drazi Freehold is rumored to be building larger Jump Capable warships in the hopes of becoming a major power. None of these new ships have been seen as of this date.

The Sun-Hawk is renowned for its versatility and easy maintenance due to its modular fusion reactor and simple plasma drive engines. The Sun-Hawk has actually become a commercial export item of the Drazi, as many races like the Pak'ma'ra' have expressed interest in using them as border patrol ships and transports.


(The Series 1 version of this ship is the Firebird. Series 2-5 showed the Sunhawk Model.)
