Social tip:

If you see a Narn and a Centauri in the pub together run. You only have 30 seconds to leave before the pub is demolished.

The Narns

What can I say about the Narns, Well they hate the Centauri, and I mean they really do. From what they have done to there world, you would probably understand.

From what the Narns look like you would spot them a mile off and they look like people that you don't want to mess with. But from what I have seen they seem OK. But they have a burning desire to kill every Centauri alive. G-Kar even hasseled the Minbari so they can join forces, But the Minbari know what the Narns are up to.

I also the Narns are cunning in getting allies, when earth was at war, the Narns stepped in to help us buy supplying weapons, but the Centauri found out and messed things up.

When there homeward was taken over by the Centauri, they praised them self's as the master race, but the Narns took back there world which took them 100 years. Before then the Narns were used as slaves and there world was stripped of all it's recourses.

((Following the first Centauri occupation, the Narn learned how to do a little conquering themselves. They tooled up, shipped out, and conquered most of the neighboring worlds behaving just as badly as the Centauri. Then, in 2259, the Centauri wound-up the Narn when Londo asked his friends, the Shadows, if they fancied a quick trip down the spaceway to smash up a Narn listening post in quadrant 14. After that, the Narn felt obliged to declare war on the Centauri.))

From time to time the Narns do things well, but they do something stupid and everything goes down hill for them. (Well there is no such thing as a perfect race.)

((During the occupation, Londo became pissed off with his crazy Emperor, Catagia. The Narn G'Kar had been captured and was being toyed with by Catagia (during which he lost an eye). Londo saw an opportunity to get rid of Catagia and made a deal with G'Kar to distract the Emperor long enough for an assassination. This was done, Catagia died, and G'Kar saw his part of the bargain, the Centauri evacuation of Narn, fulfilled. ))

How long will it last though?

(((The Narn Society is divided into different "Circles" with the First/Inner Circle and the Kha'Ri at it's summet. (What goes on here? you may say? Yes I don;t know!)

Lets sort this out.

The First/Inner Circle are the 8 Royal Families of Narn The Second Circle are the Holy Prophets and Priests.

The Third Circle are the highest a commoner can get and are usually chosen to be the Ambassadors. ((Ambassadors are the voice of the Kha'Ri and almost like the local government for all the Narn in their area. Therefore they must be high up in the Narn hierarchy.))

The executive council of Narn is called the Kha'Ri, sometimes referred to as the Council. It is composed primarily of the first three Circles, but all Narn from the Eighth Circle up can be a member. The first 3 Circles of the Kha'Ri are permanently in session at the Palace of the Kha'Ri. The rest of the Kha'Ri gathers at the capital city G'Kammazad for full assembly times and emergency situations.

Now you go from the Fourth through the Eighth Circle; the Warleaders (Narn generals), landholders and other rich and powerful Narn folk and other members of the Kha'Ri. (Warleaders are usually part of the Fourth Circle.)

Next you get the Pleabians, Narn and working to become part of the upper hierarchy.

After the Pleabians you get to the Outer Circle. The Outer Circle is basically like the working class Narn. The majority of Narn are here as well as the alien population.

At the last you have the Outcasts. They are the super poor and homless. The criminals and traitors.

The Narn police forces are called the rangers, not to be confused with the Alliance An'la'shok.

The Narn have no single leader. The Council is the executive, legislative, and judicial all in one. While the Inner Circle has more voice and a little more authority in the Kha'Ri (they are royalty of course *wink*), they do not solely control the Regime.

The Narn Military!

The Narn armed forces is just called the Narn Military. No finess...straight to the point. Well, sometimes Narn like to call it the "Great" Narn Military, but you get the idea. It has the Planetary Arm and the Space Arm.

The Planetary Arm are the ground forces and planetary defense stations; the Army, Navy, and Air Forces.

The Space Arm consists of the Picket Fleet; the Colonial Fleet; the three primary Battlefleets; the Main Fleet; and the Golden Order.

The Picket Fleet is the deep range attack, exploration, and support fleet of the Space Arm.

The Colonial Fleet (sometimes called the outer sector fighter unit) is responsible for the defense of the Colonies, the outer sectors, and the boarders of the Regime.

The First, Second, and Third Battlefleets are the main armadas of the Narn Regime. They can be broken down further into smaller fleets, depending on the situation.

The Main Fleet is the offical title for the combined forces of all Battlefleets and the Golden Order. A very powerful force. Over 1,500 capital ships.

The Golden Order is the personal fleet of the First Circle and the last defense of Homeworld. It consists of top of the line capital ships and fighters and never leaves the Home System unless for an emergency.

The Seal of the Narn Regime is the elongated "C" that is seen on every Narn ship. The Warleaders also wear the "C" on their chests.

Back in time.

Over a 1000 years ago the Army of Light fought the Shadows. Some say that Narn wasn't just some bronze tech world when the Shadows conquered it. Some say that Narn was an early space faring society that joined the Army of Light against the Shadows. If so, they obviously lost big time. They were reduced to the Stone Age again and their telepath population was slaughtered. (The Narn have this thing with genocide). It would be ironic if the Centauri first got their tech from the Narn, only to give it back to them centuries later. Makes you wonder. Ok, the Shadows were driven back. The Centauri come along and invade Narn. Centuries of slavery. Narn rebel, form the Kha'Ri and destory the occuping Centauri army. The Centauri leave behind most of their tech and an orbital factory to boot. The Narn rebuild their society, reinsituting the hierarchy of Circles.)))

From then on things from near go down hill and up to. You need to watch the series to find out what happens.
