After the great battle at Coriana 6, we only saw their ships phase out into hyperspace... and gone they were. Nobody has ever seen a Shadow since then.
They left their homeworld for their allies, but took most of the technology with them. What became of the Eye? What became of the thousands of battlecrabs and possibly numerous planetkillers? The Drakh were never seen using the worst of Shadow technology (one unfinished planetkiller, simple trinkets like remote control pods).
Have you ever wondered about how the Shadows left, what they did with their technology? Did they take it with them, dismantle or destroy it? Taking everything with them would mean taking thousands of members of the younger races with them. What became of these beings?
Now that I think of it, do we know at all how they travel? Oh yes, they have Shadow vessels. From the technomage books we know that these can carry passengers... but we have never seen a Shadow traveling.
I somehow doubt if they would use a Shadow vessel for personal transport. It seems weak, too simple for them.
Neither do we know if a battlecrab can function without someone wired into it. Would a Shadow going beyond the rim want a Narn, Human or Drazi piloting its ship? I would guess not.
The Shadows doubtlessly needed to travel long before the younger races appeared. A long time before the current version of Shadow vessels existed. How do they do it? Like Lorien, without any ships? Do they simply think themselves away, dive into hyperspace and move with telekinesis?
Or do they have ships? Has anyone heard of such ships? In fan fiction, books or the series itself? I am asking because I'm gathering ideas about the Shadow way of life. I have one of them as a character in a little story I've been writing.
