The White Star is a fictional, medium-sized combat spacecraft type employing a mix of Vorlon and Minbari technology appearing on the TV series Babylon 5. This unique combination made for the most advanced vessels among the younger races. The sleek design intentionally differs from traditional Minbari and Vorlon craft to keep its identity secret, and has unkindly been compared to plucked chickens.

The White Star commanded by John Sheridan was thought to be unique until near the end of the third season, where it was revealed that the first wave of 40-50 White Stars had entered duty. White Stars continued to be built and they were used extensively thereafter.

The original - White Star Prime - was vaporised as Sheridan crashed it into the largest city on Z'ha'dum.
