Races There are an almost infinite number of races in the universe. In Babylon 5, a number of them are playable – the major races, so to speak. The following presents the races plus the name of their governmental body.

Abbai (Abbai Matriarchate) The Abbai were the leading force in founding the Leage of NonAligned Worlds. A peaceful, semi-aquatic race, the Abbai are the social glue holding the league together. Abbai found outside their system are usually traders or pilgrims seeking either friendly contact with other races or enlightenment as to the nature of what community means to other sentient races. Racial Abilities Deep Thinkers – Abbai start with a d6 in Smarts (+2) Peaceful – Abbai abhor the use of violence, but recognize the value of a good defence. When taking the Defend maneuver, members of this race gain a +3 bonus instead of +2. (+1) Muscular Underdeveloped – Abbai need to spend 2 points during Character creation to raise Strength and need to spend 2 leveling opportunities to raise it during gameplay. (-3) Semi-Aquatic – Abbai can hold their breath 15 minutes. In water rich with oxygen (like in the seas of their homeplanet), they can stay underwater for a duration equal to their Vigor in hours. (+1) Value Knowledge above all – Abbai start with a d6 in a knowledge skill of their choosing.

Brakiri (Brakiri Syndicracy) The Brakiri have gained a reputation as pack rats who invent nothing, but rather steal or buy technological advances from other races. Still, the Brakiri Syndicate has developed into a major power of the League of Non-Alignes Worlds through their political contacts and trade treaties. Racial Abilities Darkvision – Brakiri are able to see in total darkness due to their thermal vision. (+1) Accustomed to Heat – Brakiri gain a +4 bonus when rolling for Fatigue due to Heat. (+2) Eager to Trade – Brakiri are obsessed with trading, making them predisposed for this profession. They suffer the effects of the minor version of the Greedy Hindrance.

Centauri (Centauri Republic) The Centauri Republic was once a mighty empire which has grown decadent and is in a slow decline. The Centauri, a humanoid race similar in appearance to humans, are a proud and aristocratic people governed by an emperor and a nobility-driven senate called the Centaurum. Centauri males wear their hair in fanlike crests, the height of which displays the male's rank in society; females are traditionally bald except for a long queue or ponytail.

The Centauri were the first alien race to openly contact humanity. The Centauri initially tried to convince the humans that they were a long lost colony of the Republic. This ruse failed once human scientists got access to Centauri DNA, but Centauri-Human trade and contact led to tremendous technological advancement and humanity's eventual rise as a major power. For instance, it was the Centauri who sold jumpgate technology to the Earth Alliance, allowing humanity to start colonizing interstellar space. Racial Abilities Born to Intrigue – Centauri are raised with intrigue, backstabbing and political maneuvering. It’s basically their second nature. This enables them to excel in influencing others, granting them +2 to their Charisma. (+2) Vigorous – Centauri are noted for their personal excesses, especially of food, drink and entertainment. This has, in turn, made them more resilient – there’s little you can do to a Centauri, that he hasn’t already done to himself. Members of this race start with a d6 in Vigor. (+2) Racial Enemies (Narn) – Centauri regard Narns as brutal, mindless savages, who should rightfully be either the subjects of Centauri rule or eradicated from the face of the universe. When dealing with Narns, Centauri are considered to be Bloodthirsty and at -4 Charisma. (-1) Obligations to his House – There are practically no Centauri who are able to travel through the universe and don’t belong to one of the numerous minor or major noble houses. These connections will come to haunt the character from time to time and he will be asked to perform some task for the benefit of his house or for the ones his house is allied with. This works as the minor version of the Vow Hindrance (-1)

Drazi (Drazi Freehold) The Drazi are reptilian in appearance, with green skin and thick skull bones, although they are otherwise humanoid. They are a member of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds. Male Drazi have a pouch in one of their armpits; it is actually used as a reproductive area. The ancient Drazi used to live outdoors, only sleeping inside at night. As a result Drazi houses are constructed with large balconies and a much smaller interior. The streets on the Drazi homeworld are very narrow, reflecting their long history of warfare: armoured Drazi vehicles found it impossible to invade an enemy city without first demolishing its buildings. Every six Earth years, the Drazi have a "civil war" among two rival factions, green Drazi and purple Drazi. A Drazi's allegiance is decided arbitrarily by choosing a coloured sash which is then worn around their torso, either green or purple. There is no inherent motive or reason for the civil war at all. This "civil war" takes the form of a series of non-lethal contests. Racial Abilities Strong race – Drazi start with a d6 in Strength (+2) Slow thinkers – Drazi need to spend 2 points during Character creation to raise Smarts and need to spend 2 leveling opportunities to raise it during gameplay. (-3) Trained Fighters – Drazi are trained from early on for personal combat. Their Parry is raised by +1. (+2) Thick Scales – Their thick reptilian hide gives Drazi a natural armor of +1. (+2)

Short Fuse – Drazi are easily enticed to a fight. They suffer -2 when resisting Taunts. (-2) First to Act – Drazi are quick to jump into action. If not surprised, they are always considered to be On Hold during the first round of combat. (+1)

Humans (Earth Alliance) The Earth Alliance was founded at the end of the twenty-first century after the Third World War, first as a loose coalition of nations, then as a tight alliance of nearly every nation on Earth as well as Alliance controlled colonies throughout the Galaxy, though colonial populations have had a history of independence driven rebellion, especially Mars. The Alliance is a unicameral representative democracy under the leadership of an elected President with a strong military. Since the end of the Earth-Minbari War, the Alliance had prospered in interstellar trade, though some influential factions had become increasingly xenophobic and isolationist. Adding to the milieu is the Psi Corps, an increasingly powerful quasi-military organization which regulates and controls human telepaths. Racial Abilities Free Edge – Humans start with a free Edge as per the Savage Worlds Rulebook.

Minbari (Minbari Federation) Already advanced when humanity was young and capable of space travel for well over a thousand years, the Minbari Federation is a caste society, its people divided into the worker, warrior, and religious castes. The Minbari are led by the Grey Council, which contains nine representatives, three from each of the three castes. Minbari are humanoid, usually thin and pale, though considerably stronger than humans of the same size; they are bald, with gray bony crests across the back of their heads. The first encounter between Minbari and Humans was a disaster - a misunderstanding led to Earth ships firing on Minbari ships, killing their leader Dukhat, resulting in the Earth-Minbari War. Shortly before reaching Earth, the Minbari surrendered and retreated. To this day, the reason for this reprieve is unknown. Racial Abilities Strong Race – Minbari start with a d6 in Strength. (+2) Distant and Indifferent – Minbari are said to care only for themselves and regard other races as mere children compared to themselves. They suffer a -2 penalty to their Charisma. (-1) Resilient – Minbari are hard to defeat and are quite stubborn when they have their mind set on a task. They gain +2 to Fatigue rolls. (+1) Caste – Every Minbari is part of a caste. At character generation, the player has to choose the cast: Religious Caste – Members of this caste gain a +2 bonus to Common Knowledge rolls, but suffer the Pacifist Hindrance (Minor). (0) Warrior Caste – Drilled to excellence, Minbari Warriors are told to be almost unstoppable. They gain the effect of the Quick Edge. Characters taking the Quick Edge as well discard any card lower than 8 instead of 5. On the downside of their

training, Warrior caste members feel superior to others (maybe rightly so). They suffer the effect of the Overconfident Hindrance. (0) Worker Caste – Members of this caste gain a free d6 in the repair skill. They also halve all times when constructing or repairing equipment. Workers are hesitant to engage in combat. During combat, they always draw two cards and act on the lower of the two. (0)

Narn (Narn Regime) Another "young race" like humanity, the Narn Regime were previously occupied and enslaved by the Centauri, and bear them deep ill-will because of the brutal methods of control employed. Narns are widely perceived to be primitive and barbaric, a stereotype the Centauri engendered during their occupation. The Narn are led by the Kha'Ri council. Their religion venerates philosopher prophets, and most Narn draw strength from various different holy writings, the most noted being The Book of G'Quan. Narns are tall and have a stocky build; they are bald, with a yellowish complexion, mottled with brown and/or green spots. Although they appear reptilian, they are in fact marsupial and at least presumably mammalian, in nature. Racial Abilities Hardy – Narns are able to take a beating and still keep coming. A second Shaken result never incurs a wound. (+3) Low Light Vision – Narns halve all lighting penalties except in total darkness (+1) Reputation as Savages – Narns are considered to be upstarts among most of the other races, suffering a -2 to their Charisma. (-1) Racial Enemies (Centauri) – Narns regard Centauri as ruthless oppressors, turning the once peaceful and agrarian Narns into a warlike people fighting for indepence. When dealing with Centauri, Narns are considered to be Bloodthirsty and at -4 Charisma. (-1)

Pak’Ma’Ra (Pak’Ma’Ra) The Pak'ma'ra are members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds. For religious reasons, they are dedicated carrion eaters, partly because the Pak'ma'ra consider themselves superior to other races. The pak'ma'ra are generally considered stupid and lazy by members of other races, who are also generally disgusted by their eating habits. They have the reputation for scavenging not only their foods but also technologies. Broadly humanoid in form, the Pak'ma'ra have tentacles around a mouth cavity containing an inflexible beak, somewhat reminiscent of the mind flayers or Cthulhu. As this combination renders their mouths incapable of forming words in most other species' languages, they rely on machine translation for interspecific communication.

Racial Abilities Carrion Eaters – The Pak'ma'ra subsist on corpses. Most other races find this repulsive, resulting in a -2 to Charisma when dealing with them. (-2) See No Evil – Because of this, said races will subliminally ignore the presence of any Pak'ma'ra in the area. This results in a +2 to any Stealth rolls which the player can convince the GM are relevant to this trait. (+2) Strong Stomach – Corpses are a prime location for the development of all sorts of vomitinducing nastiness and Pak'ma'ra physiology has adapted accordingly. Starting Vigor is d6 instead of d4. (+2)

New Stat Every character has a P-Rating (normally 0), which can be influenced by Edges and Hindrances. For mundanes, this rarely comes into play. But for Telepaths, it can make all the difference: Whenever a Telepath has to engage in an opposed Telepathy roll, he or she can add his P-Rating to the roll. This makes it easy for a Psi-Cop to scan a mundane even without the latter noticing it. A trained Telepath has a much better chance of blocking telepathic contact.

Eges & Hindrances All Hindrances from the Core Rulebook are allowed. The following Edges are not suitable: Champion, Gadgeteer, Holy/Unholy Warrior, Soul Drain, Wizard, The following edges are either re-named or work slighty different: Arcane Background (Psionics): This also raises the P-Rating of a Character by +1. Arcane Background (Weird Science): This is renamed to Technomancy. Mentalist: This Edge is renamed to Telepath. In Babylon 5, this is also a Background Edge instead of a Professional Edge. It raises the P-Rating of a character by +2. (Improved) Arcane Resistance: This is re-named to Latent Telepath. While not giving the characters any powers, it raises your P-Rating by +1 or +2 respectively.

New Edges Background Edges Family Ka’Toc Prerequisite: Narn only, Novice The character starts with a valued piece of heirloom – a ka’toc, a ceremonial sword. It is similar in most respects to a katana carried by the samurai of feudal Japan, but with a longer hilt, wider hand guard, and slightly shorter blade. Narn warriors carry these over their shoulders. The Ka'tok must be kept in its sheath, for if it is removed, it must shed blood before being sheathed. If it cannot shed the blood of its enemy, it will shed the blood of its wielder. Use the statistics for a Katana (see SWRB). Among Narn, a wielder of such a blade gains +2 to his charisma. Prehensile Tentacles

Prerequisite: Centauri (males) only, Novice Some Centauri males train to grasp small objects with their tentacle-like appendages. This takes a great deal of practice to be of any use beyond sexual activity. On taking this edge, the character can extend two of his tentacles up to 5 feet from his torso. (If the clothes are loose enough, that is.) The tentacles can be used to pick up small objects up to a weight of 1 pound. Fine manipulation, like pulling a trigger, is not possible. Should the character gain a reputation for his dexterity, he gains +2 Charisma among female Centauri as well… Professional Edges Ranger (Anla’shok) Prerequisite: Investigation d6, Spirit d8, Agility d8, Piloting d6, Stealth d6, Notice d6, Fighting d6 The Rangers are an old organization, founded a thousand years ago by Valen, the great leader of the Minbari. Only recently were their ranks opened for members of other races. Today, Minbari and Humans make up the bulk of the rangers, but slowly, the other races join them. Every ranger undergoes a rigorous training on Minbar. Ready to lay down their life for the cause of watching the ever-growing darkness in the galaxy, they are basically fanatics, but not foolish. They are well-trained for most tasks and work just as well alone as in teams. Often, they are employed as couriers or scouts but they are great and disciplined soldiers as well. Every ranger receives, upon completion of his training, the traditional weapon of the ranger, the denn’bok, also known as the Minbari Fighting Pike. This weapon can be collapsed into a small cylinder as a free action which can be easily hidden. It can just as quickly be expanded again – it might even knock out an unsuspecting enemy! If used in such a situation, the pike does 2d6 damage. In normal melee combat, the pike can be used for two attacks at -2, both rolled at the same time (two Fighting dice, one wild die). The Frenzy and Improved Frenzy edges change the modifier to 0 and +2, respectively. Also, this edge gives the character ranger’s robes.

Skills All of the skills from the SWRB are available in this setting. There are a few additional or changed ones as well: Telepathy: replaces Psionics. Ship Operations (Smarts): When using a ship’s sensors or trying to fire a ship’s guns, this skill comes into play.

Telepathy Any character with the Arcane Background (Telepath) has a number of powers at his disposal. This variant of the Arcane Background works just like the example “Telepathy” from page 48 (and following) from the SciFi Worldbuilder Toolkit. A Telepath who rolls a ‘1’ on his skill die, is Shaken. The Mind Probe from the section works a little different here: Probing that deep into a mind might damage it, if the attempt is resisted. Whenever the target of a mind probe tries to resist a probe, this incurs an opposed roll. If he target rolls a ‘1’ on his roll (either Spirit or

Telepathy for Telepaths), he takes damage from the probe. For every success and raise that the winner of the opposed roll scored, the loser takes one wound. No information is gathered during such an attempt, as the mind is overcome with pain. Probing too deep is therefore dangerous to the winner of such an opposed roll as well – if the mind he’s searching is the only source for the information he’s looking for. Additionally to the powers listed in the descriptions, the following new powers from the SciFi Worldbuilder Toolkit are available to Telepaths as well: Anger/Peace, Block, Confuse the Mind, Forget, Mind Rape

Telepath Edges Psi Cop Prerequisite: AB (Psionics), Telepathy d8, Investigation d6, Persuasion d6, Intimidation d6 Humans only The Corps Is Mother, The Corps Is Father – this mantra holds for nobody truer than for one of those dedicated hunters of rogue telepaths. This edge gives an additional +2 bonus to the Prating. Plus, it allows a character to draw on the resources of the Psi Corps – depending on the rank of the character and the nature of the request.

Technomagery Technomages first appeared a thousand years ago. Mysterious figures, they are a rare sight these days, almost passed into the realm of legend and fairy tales. Before playing one of these scholars, any player has to get the consent of his GM. A technomage can easily force a campaign into a different direction – which may directly interfere with the GM’s plan! Technomages use the Arcane Background (Weird Science) as per the SWRB. Through their cybernetic implants and through their suits they are able to establish a connection with their ships, staffs, places of power or other compatible technology. This is called Associating and Disassociating. The following powers (with the mentioned trappings) are available to them: Armor: With practice a Technomage can cast a shield around their bodies to absorb damage or contain atmosphere in hostile environments. This power is renamed Shield. Blast: This power is renamed Fireball Fly: This ability generates an invisible platform that can suspend items above the ground. With further abilities, mages can move and even ride on these platforms. This power is renamed Platform. Hologram: Technomages can generate holograms like Alwynn's famous red-eyed, golden dragon or more complex holodemons, which can actually interact physically with their environment. This power uses the stats of the Elemental Manipulation spell. Electron Incantation: Through this technique, Technomages can establish real-time communication with another Technomage regardless of distance. While under the effect of this ability, the speakers consciousness is manifest within a sort of dreamscape in which time moves quickly enough for the participants to have whole conversations in the span of seconds. This power uses the stats of the Speak Language spell. Invisibility: This power is renamed Cloak

Bolt: This power is renamed Plasma Beam

Starships Starships and space combat play an important role in the B5 universe. Following are a number of starships of the various races. But first, a few notes.

Shipsizes Every ship on the following list has a size stat, ranking from Tiny to Gargantuan. This has the following effect: In combat, very often ships of different sizes will engage. A ship trying to hit a ship of a different size gains a bonus of +2 or penalty of -2 for each level of difference. The table below shows the modifiers for a medium ship against the other ships. Note that a tiny spacecraft would be at +10 to hit a Gargantuan ship. While this is certainly impressive, a tiny or small fighter will have a hard time to penetrate the armor of one of the massive capital ships. To Hit
