And you know what? Who aside from those Protectorate races and the Yolu, are old enough to care. The Hyach are one of the oldest League races and they have been in space for only 800 years, 200 years short of the last Shadow War. That’s the issue with the idea that the Minbari have good will...

Considering that only the Yolu and various Minbari protectorate races are old enough to care about that, said goodwill doesn’t amount to much. Other than the Yolu, the various League races are simply too young to have been space faring at that time.

I can’t even blame Clark for ignoring diplomacy. The Minbari War showed just how little that stuff was worth. What’s the point of cultivating ties and friendships and even alliances if all your so called “friends” leave you in the lurch when crunch time calls?

Everyone has an interceptor grid equivalent, the EA’s is just better than what you’d expect from them because they based theirs on recovered alien technology they were lucky enough to find. And while yes, things like starfurys and their brutally simple and militaristic style of ship design do...

I put up a list of League races and their technology back on pg 22(minus a few I couldn't find at the time like the Yolu and Iksha, or the Drazi which weren't relevant to why I made the list), here's the Brakiri section. [/SPOILER] [/SPOILER] But yeah, the Brakiri are generally well...

Hahaha no. They admittedly haven’t been in space that long, they were actually one of the Centauri’s former slave races. But between what Centauri tech they retained, and what they’ve manage to buy or acquire from others and their overall level of technology has risen crazy fast. And the area...

Weren't they also supposed to have a giant missile armament along the sides too? I thought the gravitic drives were from reverse engineering Brakiri technology? Why would they need to get them from the Drahk?

Bit of a derail, but no, the relays don’t constrict travel anywhere near as much the realities of hyperspace in B5. Citadel level ME ftl is on its own faster then voyager era warp drive and the static build up problem was already easily accounted for by planning your travel routes even before...

The LONAW will try but unfortunately will have several problems doing so. First, they are still recovering from the Dilgar War. Second, they are the League of None Aligned Worlds, not the League of Worlds(no matter how much the Abbai wish otherwise). That's a fact that had always screwed over...

The Centauri already have the jammer beating sensors, they traded artificial gravity tech to earth for it. And as for wreckage... while they might be able to get ahold of some stuff, all the battles were either in Earth space or Minbari space. Meaning that either the Minbari are recovering it...

So for the benefit of those without access to any of the rpg sourcebooks, here's a "shopping list" of technology possessed by various League races ranging from personal scale to starship. I'm also leaving out the Yolu(not that I could find anything on the Yolu, even the Hyach gave me more then...

Yeah but I don’t expect them to crack said shield technology at least until they’ve had a chance to fully digest Minbari science and technology. If it was anything else sure, but the new sensors are a literal game changer for whoever has them. For centuries Minbari jammer technology made them...

I’m surprised the EA, Narn and even Drazi aren’t trading the new sensors tech for choice bits of League tech. It’s the one item that everyone would want and be willing to trade for. And the Dilgar have shown just how effective hybrid ships can be. The E-web(and earth force interceptors) is...

Depends on if the EA manages to trade the new sensors for them or if the Narn beat the to it. Either way it doesn’t matter because the Brakiri also have gravitic shield technology and would be just as open to trade for the new sensors.

5 years ahead is why I mentioned the Delphi Scout and Cronos Attack Frigate. You might want to go and take a look at when the EA started unveiling it's next gen class of ships. Outside of the Warlock class, which first entered service with the EAS Titans in December 2261, with the rest following...

What? No reference to the Cronos class as a replacement for the Olympus and Artemis class ships, or the Delphi class to replace the Oracle?

So, I've recently read Babylon 5: A shipbuilder's manual, and it had a lot of very nice descriptions over how certain technologies work in B5 and many of the weapons and systems used by individual races. Gravitic Shields for instance, Are strikingly similar to the kinetic barriers of Mass...

So it's one of the weapons they bought from the Narn? Because like I said, the smallest EarthForce ever got magnetic projectile weaponry on their own is a tank's main gun. Where as this thing sounds like one of the Narn's light Gauss cannons. And while it's possible that with their larger...

Since when did Earth Force have infantry grade gauss weapons? Have they been buying from the Drazi? Because as far as I'm aware they are the only ones to have miniaturized magnetic projectile weapons to that degree(Earth Force can only miniaturize them to the point of being a tank's main gun...

I suppose Brakiri graviton weapons just weren't competitive enough for the Dilgar to adopt, shame sense they are such a unique weapon amongst the younger races. And no Vree technology? I suppose it would be hard to acquire still intact samples considering how much they love antimatter. Does the...
