    Ohh yeah, To dream in the City of Sorrows is my fabourtite book out of all the B5 books. Fantasitcally written and has the most reliable source of information. [her husband basically ] Out of Darkness is also a good at tying all the loose ends of B5. ------------------ May the...

    earth ships

    People, bear in mind that 10 years ago, Earth was left with little more than 200 ships [capital I think] before the Minbari surrendered. They had 2 years to fight the Minbari before being downed to little more than 20000 ships in the Battle of the Line. Now, I know there has to be more ships...

    EA Rep for the ISA?

    The possibility that Captain Lochley is a representative of Earth is not unacceptable. Remember the whole point of choosing her in the first place for commanding B5 was that she was basically on the other side of the war, yet avoided direct combat with the Rebel fleet. And as Commanding officer...

    Rangers=Sardaukar=Fremen Fredaykin=Imperial Stormtroopers=Section 31?

    Anyways, I still think Rangers are better trained at least in space combat than standard military. Particularly when they're now more or less diversified by the numerous races of ISA. ------------------ May the light of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha protect you. May you all be well and happy...

    Rangers=Sardaukar=Fremen Fredaykin=Imperial Stormtroopers=Section 31?

    That's exactly the point. I read the Jedi Academy series too. By the time of "Champions of the Force", it was pretty clear to everyone that Exar Kun was exacting his influence on their most promising members. This included Gantoris, Kyp Durron, Streen and even Corran. Corran was harder because...

    Rangers=Sardaukar=Fremen Fredaykin=Imperial Stormtroopers=Section 31?

    I stand corrected then. By the way, X-Wing series sucked in my opinion. It was too centered on Corran Horn. I, Jedi was ridiculous, as it attempted to inject Corran Horn into the Jedi Academy series. And he had the arrogance to presume that he was smarter and worthier than his master Skywalker...

    Rangers=Sardaukar=Fremen Fredaykin=Imperial Stormtroopers=Section 31?

    As far as Star Wars novelisation goes, I never really accepted anything after the Thrawn Thrilogy: Heir of the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command. This was the first novelisation of Star Wars. Why? As someone said, they can be contradicted by George Lucas. And George Lucas is not JMS...

    Worker Caste

    Dulann or Firell could be worker caste. Have their caste been mentioned in the movie? As I understand, the Rangers are mainly Worker and Religious when they are Minbari at all. Though I expect after the Minbari Civil War, Warrior Caste once again took up membership in the Rangers...

    Myriam's the Birthday Girl!!!

    Re: Myriam\'s the Birthday Girl!!! Why are you all bothering about such a useless thing called age? Sooner or later, everybody grows old. So what if you're 30? Or 40? Or 50? Nothing is permanent. The only important thing is deciding how to live. That being said, allow me to congratulate you...

    Rangers=Sardaukar=Fremen Fredaykin=Imperial Stormtroopers=Section 31?

    OK, enough said about Section 31. Shouldn't have compared them to the Rangers on grounds of brute strength. The only thing in common with the Ranges is their intelligence gathering capabilities. Like it or not, Rangers excel at that job. And so do Section 31, base on their capturing Doctor...

    Rangers=Sardaukar=Fremen Fredaykin=Imperial Stormtroopers=Section 31?

    I'm not talking about code of conduct here. We all know that the rest of the elite forces of various universes [including our real life SAS] are esentially bad guys, with the explicit purpose of maintaining tyranies that have no right to restrain freedom. Stormtroopers are feared for their...

    How powerful is B5?

    The only thing clear was that the upgrade mentioned in "Gropos" made Babylon 5 armed with heavy weapons. Remember before that we only saw anti-fighter batteries. Now we see a bunch of cool and mean looking cannons sticking out of Babylon 5. It wasn't upgraded to take on a Minbari Warcruiser. It...

    The Telepath War...

    It was a war between teleptahs. The result was a greater freedom for telepaths, though old prejudices die hard. Unless we hear more from JMS, we can assume the better change lasted and Bester's predictions did not come true. Only problem was that some old P-Cops managed to slip through the...

    OK Listen Up...

    The rest of you better remember the rest of us living elsewhere, and be thankful your born on the American continent. ------------------ May the light of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha protect you. May you all be well and happy, free from suffering, free from sickness.
