Lighthorse Thanks

Actually it's me wanting the info. I also want to know if there is any detail on races in either of the following, if anyone has read them? Especially the more obscure races?

Babylon 5 Security Manual Jim Mortimore et al / Paperback / Published 1998

The A-Z Guide to Babylon 5 David Bassom / Paperback / Published 1997

I'll try and find the book you refer to, it may help to flesh out the current crop.

Thanks, the Security Manual is hard to come by this side of the pond. However I think it only covers the main players and not the lesser races?

From what I was able to read the The A-Z Guide to Babylon 5 actually mentions listing all the races from the series, even the incidental ones, but how detailed is another matter. I'm still researching it.

If you get a chance to look at the book you mentioned seeing in the hobby shop @ $35 could you check it to see if it gives detail that can be used to create more description docs for races? I think that this might be the book I'm after. Then Val and others can come up with the ship-sets etc. I hope

Thanks Killer.

Do you know if it goes into detail on the B5 races? Enough to flesh out a history for this mod so that we can have more races in the game. Oops... See below!

Me probably heading to Charlottesville, Va tommorow (closest spot that AGOG mentions being an affiliate). They have 3 manuals for their minatures game that should give at least the bulk of the races information (background and ships) including "incidental" ones.

That's great pathfinder...if you can note down the ISBN number of any that cover relevant info and post them I can then see if I can obtain them from Amazon et al.
