The EAS Lazarus was built in a hurry when Earth Force learned that the Minbari intended to attack Earth. She was intended to fight the Minbari warships one on one, but was severally damaged at the Battle of the Line, all 120 crewmembers except for two died during the battle. Just like her namesake, the EAS Lazarus was "brought back to life". She joined forces with Captain Sheridan during the Earth Civil War and again took heavy damage in orbit around Earth, and was once again repaired and put back into service. She suffered extreme damage again at the hands of the Drahk, and was repaired the final time, but no longer for military use, but as a space-borne museum. She is now a reminder of all the wars Earth Force has faced in the past several decades.
