The EAS Euripides was an Earthforce cruiser. In 2245 it was at the Jericho 3 Station when the Minbari fleet tracked the EAS Prometheus to its base of origin. The Euripides was quickly destroyed by the Minbari forces, despite the Captain issuing a desperate offer of surrender. The destruction of the Euripides and the Jericho 3 station was broadcast live on ISN and marked the beginning of the Earth-Minbari War.
