Ah yes, the Nova Class, basically guns that someone strapped a starship on.

Hadn't you stated (using Deathwalker, waaay back during the middle of the War when she discovered the whole "Valen's Battlestation had too many points in common with Earth Alliance's design philosophy, it could be Time Travel") that even if 'this iteration' does not send back in time...

Speaking of Vir Cotto, will he gain here like in the OTL the dubious honor of being a "Cause of Death: Understimating Vir Cotto"?

As far as I remember/understand it, the Earth Alliance was the sole space power that had a whole sector of its Space Corps solely dedicated to explore and make new Hyperspace routes plus relative gates.

To be precise, the nBSG FTL is precise (with the right calculations, granted) to Jump a ship DIRECTLY IN-ATMOSPHERE (Adama Manoeuvre) and/or so near to an opposing ship that in any other Sci-Fy Setting collisions alarms would start to blare full volume and using Eyeball: Mark 1 for the turret...

Well, at least the Minbari do not *force* you to convert to worshipping the Vorlons as Gods with genetical sterilization of your population of the telepathic/telekinetic genes (see Orieni for more infos) hidden in the package.

Remember that, for all their evilness made in the name of "A race grows when it faces strife and conflict, we shall provide it for their own good!", the Shadow never decimated the Milky Way Galaxy in an arrogant tentative to 'ascend'/'reach a higher place', that are the Vorlons.

Hard to happen, not with the 'belligerent' faction having been hammered by the War so badly that the command had to re-given to Brammer and Brammer having on hand the card 'Oh look, one of the most ardent supporter of the war got caught dead with a Drakh, could it be that this whole mess has...

The problem is that said coup, like Clark's following one, were born from the military curbstomp plus threat of annihilation the Earth Alliance suffered in canon (plus the supposed alien powers allied to Earth being either unwilling or unable to meaningfully help Humanity) at the hands of the...

*seeks images of Nova B5 ships* ... is that a ship with guns or guns with a ship added as a last minute option?

Or Brammer could say "This war happened and ended like it did because we refused to talk with other races as equals, whereas our foes' connections with others helped them do something that only the Shadows and their thralls had managed to do before: nearly defeating us." to justify a joint...

Or hell, there could be not a Drakh war, period. The Shadows could take a look at the current situation of the Galaxy and say "Naaa, this time let's stay calm and enjoy the show. Pass me the [beer] and [popocorn] please."

My general impression was that Clark was a pure-breed career politician whose goal (reaching power/position of power and staying there as much as possible, the higher and longer the better) was masked under a Xenophobic political agenda.

If (note the IF) I remember it correctly Clark's political agenda worked because the Earth/Minbari War was a clusterfrak that saw Humanity in danger of going the way of the dinosaurs with all the other powers (barring a 'disappeared' assistance from the Brakiri and token smuggled Centauri...

Sweeto! When it is done, linkage, I will gladly comment in it!

Plus any coup that wants to exist form more than a day needs military support, or it will find itself bombed into oblivion. And, as I said before, as of now the ones with the biggest stick around (read: space fleets' crews) are Brammer-only supporters. And He Who Controls the Orbitals is God.

And I repeat, for the Brammer-trained crews of the late stage of this version of the War Brammer is a god in all but name. Under him and his leadership, they started to get victories against the EA that was making the Old Guard looking like a bunch of fools. If it had not been for Jah'dur's...

And Brammer can play the framing that Jah'dur did on a link Sineval/Shadows' pawn as a card to say "how can be we sure that the connection was not older and that our ancient foes' agents did not organize Dukhat's demise at humans' hands because they wanted a war to cover himself in glory?" to...

Nitpick: the old Warrior/Religious Civil War came to be for both long term cultural problems and the facts that 1) the Warriors wanted more glory and 2) a large part of the space forces were their exclusive domain (yes, I know that both Workers and Religious had fleets of their own, but how...

So barely above 0? Sometimes I would like to see a repeat of Lucilla's "Stability is relative" scene where the barely-sane PSI-Corp telekinetic ask Kosh on the effects of what substances he was when he designed his suit and the answer was "Drugs.", it would not surprise me if it could be...
