The EAS Titans was an Earthforce Warlock class destroyer. One of the first to roll off the production line, the Titans was under the command of Captain Susan Ivanova from December 2261.

Shortly after taking command, Captain Ivanova began to suspect the presence of Shadow technology in the ship's control systems. After a thorough search failed to turn up anything suspicious, Ivanova took the Titans to Babylon 5, without notifying Earthforce Command, to see if President Sheridan would confirm her suspicions. After Sheridan confirmed the presence of Shadow Tech, he devised a plan that would give Ivanova and the Titans an edge if the dormant Shadow-tech was ever used to take control of the ship. With the help of Lyta Alexander, Sheridan moved the Vorlon transport that have previously belonged to Ambassador Ulkesh from Babylon 5's Bay 13 to Bay 7 on-board the Titans, where the Vorlon ship was patched into the control systems of the Titans, allowing Ulkesh's ship to override the hidden Shadow-tech. According to Sheridan the revived ship, which had lain dormant in Bay 13 since the departure of the First Ones, was satisfied with the new arrangement stating "it would like to have something interesting to do."

Captain Ivanova ordered the few crew that knew of the ship's presence to secrecy stating that they were holding it for Earthforce Intelligence until further notice and ordered Bay 7 sealed off until further notice.^[3]
