Before the Narn/Centauri war, the Narn Regime launched the largest and most powerful warships ever developed by any of the younger races... the Bin'Tak class Dreadnought. Conceived as a mobile, strategic base of operations for the Narn fleets, eight of these massive warships were constructed and assigned to each fleet in the Narn navy, their deployment coinciding with the escalation in hostilities that lead to the Narn/Centauri war.

Carrying 48 Frazi heavy fighters and armed with two heavy particle beam cannons of similar yield to those of the Aegis class particle beam cannons found on Earth's G.O.D. defense satellites the massive warships was like a small fleet unto it's self. This lead to the Narn to believe their starfleets to be unbeatable but the Bin'Tak did have weaknesses. Bin'Tak was slow and cumbersome with an extremely low rate of turn and the ship's main guns, though powerful, were a massive drain on the Bin'Tak's resources. Despite these design drawbacks, the Narn government believed that the mere sight of a Bin'Tak lead Narn fleet would be enough to send the Centauri backing... they were wrong. With strategic assistance from the Shadows the Centauri were able to ambush and destroy/disable all eight of the Bin'Tak class warships, dealing a critical and morale crushing blow to the Narn military.

After the fall of the Narn home world it was discovered that the space frame for two Bin'Tak class Dreadnoughts had indeed survived, one in orbit of home world the other left crippled and left for dead out in deep space. Centauri held the first as a prize and left it rotting in a decaying orbit around the Narn home world while the second was scavenged for vital parts and equipment by the resistance. Following the Centauri's retreat from the Narn home world during the height of the Shadow War and, later, defeat by the Interstellar Alliance the Narn towed the two crippled Bin'Tak Dreadnoughts back to stable orbit around home world where they were used as temporary space docks for the repair and reconstruction of the Narn fleet.

Now, eight years after their deployment, the two remaining Bin'Tak class Dreadnoughts are mobile once again, performing the job to which they were intended, control/command ships to the Narn G'Lan and G'Kar naval blattlegroups. Unlike their predecessors these refitted Bin'Tak's have an advantage undreamt of in decades past - a Gravitetic Propulsion System. Though this system is only capable of offsetting the effect of inertia and internally is only set to 3/5 Narn normal gravity, it has made working on the Dreadnoughts easier and the Gravitetic system had greatly improved the Bin'Tak's speed and maneuverability on the battlefield.
