rereleased AoG by the looks of it. And may I just say, about damn time too
(though I do agree it would be nice to have the CURRENT releases available before working on new ones.... still if it doesnt affect the others...)
Anyway this is going off AoG fluff (which is according to JMS canon though...)
The Pak'Ma'Ra operate under a true democracy where everyone is truly equal (they are in fact probably the 'nicest' race in the B5 universe
) and are not really warlike. Indeed when the Centauri annexed their world the Pak'Ma'Ra simply didnt UNDERSTAND the concept of being conquered and carried on as normal, and couldnt understand why the Centauri got angry and killed them all the time, they just ignored it and carried on, eventually the Centauri just gave up and left!
They did eventaully decide that this whole 'conquest' thing was generally bad thouh and thus voted to defend themselves in future. Hence their ships. But their democratic system has its drawbacks where commanding ships in combat is concerned as their command structures are to say the least, rather vague. Their ships are quite tough and have ALOT of plasma weaponry though and are actually not bad. Theyre slow and unmaneuverable but theyre very solid and pack a hell of a punch at mid to short range.
Im expecting them if theyre anything like their AoG counterparts to be slow, tough, with good fire arcs and excellent firepower but at limited ranges. Sort of like slower dilager with better arcs. Oh and probably even worse initiative than the Abbai (they were the only race that actually had a PENALTY to all initiative related things in B5Wars!)
