Actually going on the B5Wars fluff there is another posibility that occured to me for the In the Beginning incident:
It wasnt a Vorchan at all, it was a Dargan using its chameleon field to LOOK like one

well not the Royal Liner, the thing is almost unarmed! The turrets are replaced by living quarters or something

Seconded, though it was just possible for the Demos to do it in B5 Wars, especailly if the Narn vessel was not at battle-stations.
Thirded? :?
of course it might have got a 6-6 ....... several times!

definitely wasn't me, I've never seen proof that a Primus was intended to come through the jump point. The show wasn't based on a wargame so to JMS there is no reason why a Vorchan cannot destroy a G'Quan in one shot if plot requires :wink:

it never fired ballistic torpedoes so it was the twin array! :lol:

1) The G'Quan may have been badly damaged already. Thus it would be possible for a Vorchan or Demos to finish it off especially if it is trying to take hits so it can shield fleeing transports.
2) What appeared to be a G'Quan may instead have been a G'Koth.

The G'Koth was the most blatant piece of ret-conning ever done...mkII !!

I was just going to say, more damn ret-conning...
If the G'Quan was damaged it would be visible. Clutching at straws is worse than ret-conning! :wink:

what about a babylon 4? Dont forget it had engines, so whilst it would only move about a 1/2 " each turn you could say it counts as a ship (ie not an immobile space station)
I would like to see personality on a shadow ship in the form of a Narn telepath being in there from the last shadow war. I just think that since each ship is unique from the others some type of differences should be there as well. Not major ones mind you but there. Narn Shadow ship= takes damage more than others :wink:
Just a thought

Damage will not necessarily be apparent to the naked eye at range. That is why navies do full engineering surveys of their ships to determine if they are undamaged rather than just looking undamaged
If it doesn't have gaping, unrepaired holes, isn't on fire or isn't leaking atmosphere, damage may not be apparent or even visible to the naked eye. Also, at no point was there ever a close-up 360 degree view of the entire ship.
Remember, USS Yorktown looked undamaged to the Japanese at Midway.

yeah, the g'quan attacked by the secundus outside B5 didnt look very damage from outside, but we all knew it was cos they said it was.
although to lose to B5 (was it pre refit?) and a damage g'quan that cant even fire its beam is poor going, perhaps the secundus was damaged.
