Ooops sorry about this, bit lax here (naughty me).
*ahem* yes, I'll also be using ships/events/entities etc.... *things* to be precise :D Basically anything you can stick a solid name to.
And yes it was empire strikes back (to my undying shame)
Bit of real life sci-fi trivia now.... The sixth form of matter was confirmed last week. Fermionic Condensate.
back to the quiz
Clue two: mascot was a vegetable

My memories of it are fading rapidly with each passing year but this sounds like something right up its alley so my guess is Red Dwarf. Seriously I can't remember much about the show it's been at least 3-4 years since they stopped showing it on PBS here so I'm just guessing.

A vegetable mascot certainly sounds like the boyz from the Dwarf, but I don't remember anything like that.
I do, however, have a fairly good idea now...
Dark Star.

Is no-one else trying anymore?
My guess is...
The Cylons.

/emotecurses as he forgot to check this before going to work.
darn, two BSG questions.
For those who didn't know: It's in the scene where the Cylons attack Caprica. Look in the lights of the city as the Cylon fighters fly over it. There, clear as day, are the words f*** off (in all CAPS). It was aired (and still is), but on TV, you cannot see it because it moves way too fast. However, in the FotoNovel, it is DEFINITELY there. As I understand it, there was some sort of dispute between the FX house and the producers. The FX folks were disgruntled and wanted to "send a message." It was largely unnoticed.

It's probably the cylons, but as that's already been said, I'm going to hazard a guess with the Daleks

Congratulations AtoningUnifex, it was the Cylons.
And thank you Celebon for explaining the first clue  . Amazingly this wasn't the reason for the war, though I'm sure it didn't help
Seventh Round:
First clue: Classed (possibly wrongly) as only semi-sentient

I had to look into the dictionary for that word. Be proud, not many things interest me enough to do that
Star Control III the little microscopic thingies that infested that warlike race (haven't played in ages and can't geting it working on any comp  ) so pardon the description

The doods in Star Wars Episode IV who sell C3P0 and R2D2 to Luke.
I think they were called the Jawa or something

The Pakleds from Star Trek. Although I'm not sure if they were classed as semi-sentient, or whether they're particularly diminutive

Congratulations Rodj Blake, the answer was the Jawa's. I'm not sure why they were classed as semi-sentient. They operate huge great sandcrawlers - if thats isn't evidence of tool use I dunno what is.
Going to give you another one now because I'm feeling kind.
Round Eight:
Clue One: It is not a Starship, though it can operate in vaccum.

As being a big Star Wars fan, I would like to know where did you see them clasified as semi-sentient??
As for the new one I will say: Battle suits from the book Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein
Even if that is not the anwser, read the book ppl, it's great :)

I can't remember exactly where, though I'll have a skim through a book or two. The problem with the large space operas (star trek/star wars etc..) is that sometimes they contradict themselves.
Jawa's are indeed Sentient. I believe the semi-sentient state was a classification given by the empire and backed up by non-natives. The thing is, unless you go to the deep desert the only jawa's you see are rooting through trash, as they never bring thier sandcrawlers into town.
It is still debatable as to just how much of their surroundings they do understand. They are very much into routine, and it takes them a while to learn a new idea.
Therefore they are classified (possibly wrongly) as semi-sentient.
p.s (damn you, so soon)

Ok, because I'm feeling generous and bored
Darkii kior wins with the Battle Suits from Starship Troopers, which are, of course, the Mobile Infantry suits (no doubt they have a military designation - like the helmet does in the GOD AWFUL film version).
I was hoping that one would last longer, the description is missing from the begining of some versions of the book (especially the e-book version).
Ninth Round:
Clue One: Used as a battlestation (and no its not that one :P)

Well the obvious answers have already been given, so here's a less obvious one:
The Ticonderoga (Fleet Battlestation in Starship Trooper - the awful film 8-))

Congratulations ThreeD, the answer was Babylon 4.
round ten:
first clue: Fighter Pilot Ace
(this should be a harder one )
*edit* pay closer attention to the clues, sometimes they have multiple meanings. For instance, Babylon 4 wasn't a battlestation, but is was USED as one when it was sequestered.
