I have nothing *solid* other than it strongly resembles the gunship-type
vessel we've seen in a scattering of eps here and there. It may be a
troop-transport variant of that. *shrug*  AoG seems to have most of the
canon material on the B5 gaming front ( I know they talk to JMS and
George
Johnsen pretty closely on stuff), and are supposed to be coming out with
a supplement in the near future with a bunch of EA ships (exactly what
form
this will take I don't remember; maybe check their webpage?)

I have not yet seen a SHIP-based weapon do interception fire against
fighters,
but I think we have seen B5 do just that...and B5 is just a really
really BIG
ship...so I can't see why mobile ships cannot intercept fighter weapons
fire.

For what it's worth.
