AFAIK it is a Nova class, which is supposed to be a forerunner of the
Omegas and to also predate the Hyperions; it seems to be much like an
Omega
without the rotating section. I think it dates from the Minbari War
period,
so is an obsolescent design by 2260s standards. There should be stats
for
it in the Babylon Project EF sourcebook.
