Centauri status is based upon family history, and political and personal power must be built up over generations. It is a very indulgent society, with jewelry and ornimentation being very popular. It is legal for Centauri to own other Centauri as slaves. Allegedly powerlessness and slavery are the fates of those Centauri who do not participate in the political games of backstabbing, extortion, and double dealing. There are some Centauri who are growing dissatisfied with the hollowness and superficiality of this existance. Centauri seem to posses a proleptic ability, and are generally able to "see" thier own deaths. Some "Seers" are even more Proleptic. The Centauri are known to have telepaths. The Centauri male genitals consist of at least one (and more likely six) prehensile tenticle(s) over a meter and a half long. The Centauri have no arteries in their wrists.

They are seemingly the oldest species that humanity has come across, and it would appear that they are the most advanced species that humanity has yet encountered with regard to technology, although they view technology merely as transitory, a means to an end. There interests are primarily the attainment of perfection: physical , mental, spiritual, emotional. On a superficial level, the Minbari culturally resemble the Japanese, with their warrior faction, as well as a contemplative, spiritual side to them. From cradle to grave, the Minbari are taught that there is no greater goal, no nobler thing than to serve. They are raised to be totally self- sacrificing. The only exception is when someone in the religious caste believes he or she has received a calling, which if sincerely felt cannot be contravened (since usually this too involves serving). So for a Minbari telepath, this is their means by which they may serve, and they are given great respect. It never even occurs to them to do otherwise. Lately, there has been a bit of a change brewing; "a self-involvement above the needs of others" (as someone notes in "Voice") that has begun creeping into the Minbari race. And they're not happy about it. They are divided at least into the Warrior Caste and Priestly Castes. Caste membership is decided by heritage with a certain precedence (although it is currently unclear whether it is that the Priestly caste, or the Mother's Caste, which is of the higher priority). Minbari of the worker class can generally be identified by the orange-ish smock-thingie they wear. Ruled by an Emperor and the Gray Council, whose members are given the title of "Satai" At some point in history, an outside influence with the Mimbari religion. Boney horns or crest-structure on back of the head. It grows from thw back of the skull structure, and gradually comes forward with age. Ears are below the bone section and behind the manidble, lower than where they are on humans. Minbari have no tolerance for alcohol, and a little bit can drive them into psychotic inpulses and violent rages. Minbari have Telepaths. Some appear to have other powers as well, such as being able to identify when they are being scanned telepathically, to see something that might be the Soul, and so forth. na'ka'leen "Feeders" Length/Height: meters [130-200cm/120-195cm] Mass: kg [69/60 kg] Preferred Habitat: / / Max Velocity (M/S): [9] Body Points: [28/26] Armor Value: [0] Speed: [10] Strength: [10] Dexterity: [10] Constitution: [10] Intelligence: [10] Willpower: [10] Bravado: [10] Perception: [10] Appearance: [10] Stamina: [10] Power: [7] Size Variation: x.5 - x1.5 Food Value: Armor Material: Special Attacks: Skills: na'ka'leen Feeder Horrible creature indigenous to the Centauri Sector, where it is kept under heavy quarantine. It feeds on the neural activity of the brain associated with memory and personality, consuming mental patterns. Their head and body are not separate, and they have 6 tentacles, 2 1.5 meter long "hands" with suckers, four 2 meter long, bifurcating "legs". The body is a yellow/orange, while the tentacles are a brownish pink. The tentacles are totally prehensile, and they can move very quickly and leap surprising distances. They have high pitched voices and can mimic human voices, and seem reasonably sentient.

A race that may well have been very peaceful and spiritual initially, but after a century of Centauri domination and exploitation, they are now intense warriors and nationalists. They keep aliens as slaves. They maintain an "assassin's guild". They appear essentially reptillian, however they are are mammals. *Marupials, the newborn Narns live in a pouch in the father's body. and often have red-glowing eyes. They have two genders, male and female, which seem relatively egalitarian. The Narn pride themselves on their physical perfection. However: "RE: the glasses...it's not something I've been able to figure out how to mention, but the Narn pride themselves on their physical perfection. Hence there is no market for physical aides; it's something to be ashamed of. So they have to crib stuff from other species, like glasses that have a prescription close enough to be useful." 50-60 (Earth) years old is Early Middle Aged for Narn. They will sell weapons and technology to anyone who can afford them. When they do, they are willing to send along Narn to train the buyers to use the material. The Narn sold weapons technology to the Earth Alliance during the Earth-Mimbari war. pak'ma'ra Length/Height: meters [130-200cm/120-195cm] Mass: kg [69/60 kg] Preferred Habitat: / / Max Velocity (M/S): [9] Body Points: [28/26] Armor Value: [0] Speed: [10] Strength: [10] Dexterity: [10] Constitution: [10] Intelligence: [10] Willpower: [10] Bravado: [10] Perception: [10] Appearance: [10] Stamina: [10] Power: [7] Size Variation: x.5 - x1.5 Food Value: Armor Material: Special Attacks: Skills: pak'ma'ra Members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds.

They have avoided all contact with other races. Those few scout ships that were sent out to contact them met with unfortunate accidents upon entering Vorlon Space. The Vorlons tenedered their most sincere apologies and suggested no more such missions. There are legends that people who look upon the Vorlon are turned to stone. It is obvious that the Vorlon are desirous of maintaining an aura of mystery and fear surrounding themselves. To the best of anyone's knowledge, the Vorlons have never fought a war with any other species or race. The Vorlons are the great unknown. They occupy a *huge* sector of space. Their technology is vastly superior to just about everyone else's.orlons Apparently methane and CO2 breathers. It would seem that in their culture, Art and Science are closely allied. They seem to be able to move very quickly, particularly when dressing. Vorlons seem to have a strong distrust of telepaths, although they allegedly have them. Some appear to have other powers as well, such as being able to identify when they are being scanned telepathically, and so forth. Some part of them glows, or otherwise emits light. They use tight beam emissions as opposed to general area broadcast communications.

(pd) The Xon did evolve into fair amount of intelligence. There are a very few land masses on Centauri Prime, separated by huge oceans. The two species evolved pretty much separately, on different continents that were absolutely unreachable until one or both sides developed sufficient technology for extended sea travel...and that's when all hell broke loose. "The Xon weren't any more evil or good than the race that survived; two equally sentient species emerged on the Centauri homeworld over the course of evolution. They were more or less separated by distance and land masses and oceans, so there was little contact until either side developed the technology required to find the other. It was the next best thing to a first contact situation, except it's on their own world; they were very much alien to one another. Somewhere along the line, it was decided that this world wasn't big enough for both of them, so they began a campaign of slaughter against each other. Londo's people won."
