The following is a list of fictional starships and starship types from the Babylon 5 science fiction television series universe and its spin-offs, Crusade and Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers.
EAS Agamemnon is a fictional starship in the science fiction series Babylon 5. The Agamemnon is an Earth Alliance Omega-class destroyer. She was named after the Greek mythic figure who commanded the Greek forces during the Trojan War.
The Agamemnon was one of the first Omega-class starships to be built by EarthForce following the Earth-Minbari War.
She was commanded for three years by John Sheridan until 2259 when he was named to replace Jeffrey Sinclair as the commander of Babylon 5. At that point, Captain James was named as the next commander of the Agamemnon. A few months after Sheridan's transfer, the Agamemnon took part in his rescue from the Streib. When the Streib ejected those they kidnapped into space, the Agamemnon destroyed the Streib starship.
In 2260, the Agamemnon was patrolling near Jupiter when Sheridan took the White Star to destroy the Shadow cruiser being studied by Earth Alliance forces. The Shadow vessel had been activated when a human was merged with the ship to act as a CPU, but it was done incorrectly, and the ship went insane. The Shadow vessel was lured into Jupiter's atmosphere where it was crushed by the pressure and gravity of Jupiter. The Agamemnon was sent to investigate, and found the White Star in the atmosphere. The crew of the Agamemnon did not realize that Sheridan was in command of the White Star. Agamemnon tried to force Sheridan to surrender, but he was able to escape through establishing a jump point at the edge of Jupiter's atmosphere. President Clark used this incident as an excuse to declare martial law. Clark's actions later provoked Sheridan and a number of others in Earthforce to go to war against Clark.
