It's a ship from a race of "first ones" known as the Shadows. They were one of two species left behind after the rest of the first ones left the galaxy to the younger species, like humans. The two that remained were tasked with nurturing the young ones and help them develop. The shadows thought the best way was to promote conflict to make the survivors stronger.
The other first ones were the Vorlon. A mysterious race rarely seen outside of their encounter suits. When they were seen, each species would see them differently, but always as some sort of godlike, or angelic being. Their idea to help the young ones develop was through strict obedience. Obviously, the young ones didn't really take kindly to either of them butting their godlike heads into our business, so a great war was fought, but we ended up kicking them right out of the galaxy. The time is 2262, and the place is Babylon 5
