The Markab and Dilgar are not very compatible it should be remembered. The Markab, in effect, declared Jihad upon the Dilgar. However, the Markab are a race with a grudge - effectively wiped out by the Drafa plague, and no sooner were their bodies cold then their former allies within the...

Not really - they were Shadow Tech equivalents of the Ikaran Warriors we saw in "Infection" - no self will or the like, just drones with a mission. Though their main purpose in the script was for the shock value as Galen gains himself Shadow Bio Armour like theirs in order to fight them...

Just knowing the Drakh are still alive would be reason enough for the Orieni to go after them - these are the guys who decimated the Drakh homeworld after they'd posed as Vorlons...

I'll have to look again (not got the book to hand), but the EA fact book has that either as a typo on the number of shuttles, or some overzealous editorial type changed Bruce's description of a Tantalus Assault Ship (from B5 Wars...) to a name they recognised from the show, which given the...

The show indicates otherwise...

If you check the archive footage Sheriden reviews on the Icarus, you see it depart (this is departing Station Prime), apparently, from the central hanger of a EA Orion type starbase. You'll also note that this gives one of the glaring continuity errors of "The Shadow Within". Station Prime is...

Indeed, and as these are Hyperspace Jump Route maps, and Hyperspace has a non linear relationship to Realspace then all bets are off :) I don't think this has been absorbed into the Mongoose canon (but I also don't think it has been contradicted either) but AOG had the Sol system placed in a...

The reason AOG lost the license was that Mongoose had been sniffing around the RPG license. WB found it easier/better (for WB...) to keep all the gaming licenses in one place - this wasn't Mongoose's intention by all accounts, as from what Matt has said in the past, they never intended to...

That was just G'Kar trying it on - look at the bedroom company he keeps over the first two seasons...

The answer is all of them. Oh wait, you meant with each other :) Then the answer is none of them. This isn't Star Trek. You might point to Delenn and Sheriden's offspring but this is because she is half human due to having her DNA rewritten by the Chrysalis. There might be other...

PCs only need the illusion of free will. Yes, they could shoot and kill Sheriden, but it's not going to happen. What would they be doing armed around Sheriden in the first place? If they are station personel then they wouldn't be shooting Sheriden now would they? If they are not station...

I was using "nuking" in its generic sense (not actual nukes necessarily). There are plenty of ways to "clense" a planet from orbit with standard ship weapons - Molecular Disruptors being particularly adept at this role I seem to recall, just not very discriminating which ground forces have a...

Er no - it was humanity's perception that that was the goal. Imporant difference. If "simple" genocide was their aim, they'd have nuked the colonies rather than pacify them. The very fact that they fought ground actions means they were trying to remove the ability to fight.

Genocide is actually a stronger term than what the Minbari were trying to achieve. They were not out to kill every single human - they clearly did not do that on the colony worlds they came across on the way to Earth - they removed their ability to fight, and kept moving forwards. Earth wasn't...

I think the crucial difference is that the Minbari aren't overtly agressive. The war is waged, and once won - that's it. The Dilgar would likley size up another target and go for it as well... Also, there's the whole "attrocity" thing...
