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.
Information in the three
or double brackets is information I did not come up with
but came from the net. I do not take credit for this information.
Thank you.
