The White Star Prime was a member of the White Star class and under the command of Marcus Cole. In 2261, the White Star Prime led two other White Star class vessels to Sector 87 to await orders from Captain John Sheridan. Captain Sheridan ordered Cole to fire on some asteroids and return to Babylon 5. The destruction of the asteroids caused controversay for the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, which caused them to allow White Star vessels to patrol their space.
