I just saw the new ship "Hurr Gunship." Who are the Hurr and what does this mean?

Grrr, another new race before we've fixed the old ones.
 
thats a very good question and if you go to the babylon 5 wikipedia and search for the hurr, it does not find anything

EDIT: theres nothing about the hurr on B5 wars on wikipedia despite a link!

it's ONE ship, not a new race

Okay.... why a race with a single ship? Don't we have enough of these (Technomages, Old Ones, EA)
 
Because someone involved in the game wanted to, simple eh. And it can be used in league fleets.
 
they had several ships with aog, but no actual minis were ever made as aog crashed & burned.

will be interesting to see what their ships and fluff turn out like.
 
The Hurr Republic are a militaristic race from Androma along the Drazi/Grome/Tal'kona-sha borders. Belligerant but without significant military to back it up the Drazi haven't wiped them out only because of their own internal and external conflicts diverting their forces. The Hurr technology is extremely primative. They tend to use simple to maintain particle/plasma/missile weapons. (summary of Militaries of the League 2 entry)

The Hurr seem to be scroungers and a people who don't have the tech to support their aggressive nature which keeps them from conquest.

The Hurr Tech puts his arm round the sad little Drakh man, whistles and shakes his head, "hmm well its the parts you know", scratches his head, "Then theres the labour, hmm can't see it being ready for at least a year mate............" sighs in sympathy...................
 
From what iv read on the Hurr in the aog dilgar invasion, they have had issues with the drazi over the drazi system latig,but when the dilgar juggernaut took latig they joined forces with the drazi to fight the dilgar,had a disasterous first battle and retreated back to there home system.only for the dilgar to pay them a visit two hours later bombing there planet and knocking them out of the war.

Don't the Drakh already have a mothership?
 
There's more...

Due to their lack of decent infrastructure, the Hurr only operate two classes of ship (the model you see is the larger of the 2, the Boroca-class Gunship). To fulfil the various roles and needs of their fleet, they use many variants of these two hulls.

The Hurr believe that they will one day control the galaxy, and that all the wars between the Narn and Centauri, the Drakh war, etc, are all pointless, as all of these races will one day be serving the Hurr.
 
From Adnromeda.... extremely primitive.....

Is it just me or does it strike anyone else that they must have some pretty damn good engine technology or some kind of fancy hyperspace knowledge if theyre from a neighbouring GALAXY.

As for the Drakh mothership, I must admite even I'm starting to get a bit pissed off here at the torrent of new releases when theres still existing products were still waiting on and I don't even WANT any of the products in question, Im just mildly annoyed that this whole thing is going to lose players from the game and hurt Mongooses reputation.

Don't get me wrong, I like new ships and most of the new releases recently I actually like and even intend to buy some of (especially the new ISA stuff, but I fail to see why the devoloment and production time for say, the Hurr or the EA Myrmidon, or the Corumai couldnt have been given over to finishing the Drakh mothership first? Or the other Armageddon ships?
