The Minbari built the White Star, borrowing some Vorlon tech, so
it's primarily Minbari, and built with their sensibilities, all the
controls are in Minbari, and so on. They allow Sheridan to command it
because Delenn said to do so, and in battle an unpredictable human
might have options that a more regimented Minbari might not.
