"That ship has no capacity for troops whatsoever. We offer it to Earthforce for neutral verification that it lacks any cargo capacity, beyond that of it's pilot. If we're in trouble for having pilots on our ships well...I guess Marxis can add it to the list of things we could do and should so be punished for. That ship came last month from the Tulok system, though it our initial data may be wrong, it may have gone through Hurr space. Either way we offer it to Earthforce to verify it has a single crewman, a crewman that is still on the ship and no troop capacity at all. Moreover, the ship didn't even exist when we struck our deal with the Hurr. Claiming it had something to do with the arrangement it preposterous.

We will leave, in three months as the Corporate Sector wishes. No ship of ours will fire on another ship unless fired upon first.

Our war with the Dilgar is over. The only ships remaining in Dilgar space, if it can be called as such, are those that are damaged. We have dismantled our attack fleet. The Vorlon Empire is making plans now to retreat to it's own space indefinitely."

Press Room

"Whew what a day maybe I should stay in this room all evening waiting for messages from the Vorlon ambassador and tearing them apart."

"Alshain's practically in bed with the Vorlons. Earthdome has a stake in this. I'm not sure there's anybody who doesn't."

"And even if the Vorlons don't have ships that can carry troops now, but our shipyards can construct fast courier ships with over fifty sector speed engines and enough room for a troop bay. The Vorlons would have better. They could have been in and out with their invasion fleet before anybody knew anything. That isn't any proof."

"Why wait three months? Why not leave now? Maybe because they're waiting for reinforcements. But we'll oblige and see whether the Vorlons are liars or simply stupid."

Earthdome Press Release #82945c
Vice President Franklin Sherman

"The Corporate Sector's claim that Earth Alliance has reneged on a treaty with the Hurr is quite false. Clearly, Corporate Sector representatives have failed to refresh their memories of the Earth/Hurr treaty, which specifically states that Earth Alliance will protect only the jumppoint between Quadrant 24 and the Nocalo system. The Hurr's other jumpgates were left to their own modest yet capable defense forces, as was agreed by both parties of the treaty. Furthermore, the Earth Alliance never had a blockading force at the Canton jumpgate, and as such could not have removed them at the request of the Vorlons... a request, I will add, which never came through to begin with.

Although EarthDome dislikes being misrepresented by the Corporate Sector - again - we are willing to forget it in the interest of galactic harmony, strained as it is currently."

EarthDome

"Mr. President, what is your response to Marxis' claim that every dead Hurr is on your hands?"

"What you have to understand is that Marxis didn't want a "protection fleet" in Hurr space, he wanted an invasion fleet to remove the legitimately elected Hurr government by military force. I later consulted with several Senators and they all backed my reasoning and conclusions. If we had followed Marxis' advice, we would have been in the same position as he claims the Vorlons are; conquerers, abusing our military might for our personal gain."

"What's EarthDome's next move?"

"I must admit that I find it hard to believe the Hurr would sign away their soveriegnty so willingly. The reports of extremely powerful Vorlon telepathy cannot be discounted either. I am therefore dispatching the Thunderhorse and her destroyer escort group immediately from the Nocalo system to assess the Hurr situation and determine whether or not a military intervention is warranted. Although they are not fully-trained CDT officials, they do possess trained officers capable of making a competent analysis, and their proximity to the Hurr homeworld makes them the best choice."

"Mr. President, is it true that despite the recent completion of a massive Earthforce expansion program, you intend to ask the Senate to procure additional starships?"

"The truth is that the Senate wants those ships just as much as I do."

"And is it true that..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid this conversation is drifting into classified territory. If you'll excuse me, I have an urgent meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

As a protectorate of the Dilgar Confederacy, the Hurr republic ceeded certain priveleges to us upon the completion of that contract.

One such article, article 28, stipulates that the Dilgar Confederacy reserves the right to ratify and /or veto any trade deal that would potentially undermine the Dilgar Confederacy.

As this transaction would give the Vorlons a forward supply planet on the edge of Dilgar space, and because it directly hinders our trade with our brotherly freinds in the Hurr republic we are chosing to exercise this veto.
As such your transaction with the Hurr is now anuled, and you have no buiseness, or responsibilities there. Whatever you gave the Hurr for this planet will be returned.

You may ask why such was not done earlier. Simply put, The Vorlons were engaged in hostilitied with many of our planets and the matter took a second place to the more immediate threat.

Now that we have had pause to brathe, and the immediate threat of extermination has gone, we take the following action.

We expect the Vorlons to return governance of the Hurr Capital immediately. The trade deal negotiated by your government and theres, whatever the cicumstances, is in violation of our protectorate treaty with the Hurr.

Tobor wrote:"But let us somehow suspend disbelief, and take the Minbari at her word. Let us assume, she is telling the truth..."

"The impact from ten light space stations, each weighing something near 500KT, would have nowhere near the force and spread to decimate that number of people."

"Now its possible, that because the Narn regime destroyed every form of building and infrastructure barring small remote vllages that the people, who are reduced to tent cities had no where to hide. No cover from such debris. Let us assume that your ships blasted every station into 500,000 pieces and that every piece killed a family of five narns. That is still only 25 million of the 4 billion deaths accounted for..."

"The space stations our Dilgar representative speaks of... were clearly those captured by their numerous boarding ships upon the first wave of attack, and left in orbit. The Narn will confirm the capture of their orbital assets before the invasion..." Lennier speaks now, reading a report on behalf of Delenn and the Minbari Federation. "And an object of thousands of Earth tons descending from orbit would blow a massive amount of dust into the air and ash from each impact, far outweighing what is produced by even a mass driver attack. Such cannot be denied by any race that has even the most basic knowledge of space travel."

Tobor wrote:He threw a folder at her place. It was filled with pictures of gouges in the earth, where the Neutron lazers had sliced through settlements. Massive disruption where the lightenig cannons had arced through villages. Even impact craters from the cluster bombs that the Sharlins were packing. Scattered throughout were the charred remains of countless bodies. Dead narns. Occasionally there were scenes of ground combat where the Minbari forces were three times repelled from the largest of the shanty towns.

"This claim is dire indeed, that the Minbari Federation bombed the worlds of the Narn. The accuasations of our neutron beams firing on ground targets, and cluster bomb attacks made on civilian settlements are again, a thinly veiled attempt to discredit our peoples. Our own troops were on the surface. One hundred thousand troops, lost to this terrible event. Although such pales in comparison to the Narn deaths, why would we deliberately commit such an act and doom our own soldiers as they fought?"

"Minbari do not lie. But Dilgar do. We will now present evidence to all of you gathered, of this falsehood so that we may proceed with full aid to the Narn people with full haste and cooperation of all governments."

"Behold these photographs. Gouges of when our beam weapons supposedly attacked their settlements, followed by spaceborne bomb attack. But such is not possible. Our Neutron weapons do not penetrate atmosphere and cannot be used in such a task. And we will reveal now why these photographs of 'bomb craters' could not have been done by the forces of the Minbari Federation."

"The claim of our bombardment is thus, a frabrication, based on their intelligence on the armaments of our previous Flight Four War-Cruisers, which carried such a weapon. But as one can see, no Flight Four ships were involved in this attack. Indeed, they have all been either retired from service nearly a year ago, or upgraded with new Flight Five and Six standards."

Lennier turned to pace, with his usual coolness about such manners.

"The only two possible explainations of these explosive-created craters fit with our evidence are both damning for the Dilgar Imperium. The first... is that of an orbital impact, of the debris from the battle. And the second? Why, the fighter missiles aboard Dilgar interceptors. We do not wish to accuse the Dilgar of such, as the evidence of their own involvement is circumstancial... but again, fitting with the reports of Dilgar manipulation of media coverage using changeling nets and other technologies, a trend of deception is clear for all."

Tobor wrote:"The Vorlon empire, has recently given an offer of peace to the Dilgar confederacy. We have accepted. We expect no less than the withdrawal of their forces from Vreetan, Rhagesh, Quadrant 32, Koula, and Markab."

"We expect the same from the Minbari..."

"The treaty offered to the Dilgar is that of the Vorlons. Their grievance has been satisfied. However, we are here on behalf of the Narn Regime and their troubled people. Until the Dilgar surrender and immediately return control of all territories in the Quadrant 32, Mellitra, Oleng and Nakaleen systems back to their lawful owners, the Narn Regime, we will be forced to continue this conflict until the complete destruction of the Dilgar military."

Lennier packed up his statement, bowing his head curtly. "Now, we wish to coordinate with the Earth Alliance and Centauri Republic to dispatch immediate aid to Mellitra VIII..."

[img=left]http://members.optusnet.com.au/bcarletti/drazi100.jpg[/img]If I may interject... Ambassador Lennier, you have only given us technical readouts of nine of the ships used in this assault, when seventeen Minbari ships are clearly shown in other footage of the attack. If you wish to give proof, it needs to be conclusive. If you could give more thorough evidence it would go a long way to satisfying the League worlds that this was an unintentional catastrophe, and not an intentional campaign of simple-minded genocide.

Having said that, I would like to thank the Earth Ambassador for the generous offer of a PsyCorp telepath.

"I don't know what to do, Londo," Vir said. "Everything seems to be falling apart."

Vir had quietly left the council to go and speak with his emperor over his next step.

"Do you know who commanded that Minbari fleet, Vir?" Londo asked.

"Fleet Commander Nimune Starrider."

Londo scowled. "She was the one who commanded the fleet that was supposed to aid us against the Shadows and then fled."

"What should I do, Londo?" Vir asked.

"Tell them," Londo answered. "This must be known. I know you felt that we had no place to judge before, but even we never did anything like this. Starrider is either criminally incompetent or guilty of genocide, against a supposed ally no less. The galaxy deserves to know which. If the Minbari lash out at us, we can throw our lot in with Marxis. He can't bend over backwards for the Hurr and then leave us to burn; it would be political suicide. I doubt that he'd even want to, he'd probably be overjoyed for an excuse to go to war with the Minbari, too."

Vir shook his head. "I never thought that Marxis would look like the lesser of two evils."

"Neither did I. But the Vorlon/Minbari alliance has killed billions of people." Londo sighed. "I don't think the Minbari will be foolish enough to attack us over this. They've got enough problems already. Tell them, Vir. I'll have construction of aid ships begun."

-----------------------------------------

Vir entered the chamber again just in time to hear the Drazi ambassador's short speech.

"The representative of the League makes a good point," Vir said. "As I said before, the fleet above Spite is composed of ships of both Minbari and Vorlon construction. According to Centauri data, while the Minbari ships are incapable of targeting planets, the lightning cannons which the Vorlon ships are armed with have no such limitations. Clearly, this matter needs to be investigated further."

Nephtys · Post by **Nephtys** » 2006-04-04 12:08pm

Commander Starrider's image appeared upon a portable projector, playing a recording from a datacrystal of her account of the event.

"Esteemed representatives of all races. I am Nimune Starrider, fleet commander of the expeditionary armada." she began, nodding her head gently as she began. "The recent events over Mellitra VIII are laid at my feet, and I will take full responsability for such." she nodded.

"The events are clear and we will provide all information as requested. My fleet's schematics will be provided, revealing Minbari military secrets for transparency in this affair, as a curteousy to the Narn Regime." she said.

"But the case is clear. I'm told you know the generalities, so I will spare you of such. My fleet is composed of both Minbari capital ships and one squadron of Vorlon escorts, which are indeed, able to penetrate atmosphere with their main weapons, which are much more precise than our weapons." she said, head up to the viewer. The image pans about to show displays of the ships in orbit. "As we realized what was happening, we attempted to destroy the hulks as they entered orbit. My heavy fighters chased down the largest peices, but they were unable to destroy all of the fragments, even with the Vorlon escort fire support." she said.

Images showed fighters and Vorlon craft chasing down and blasting fragments frantically, even as far in the distance along the ground blue Minbari landing craft lay.

"The Minbari people are shamed by this affair, and so I will resign upon the conclusion of this immediate crisis and our return to Minbar. Now however, is the time for action in saving what people we can. Political machinations can wait until the safety of the remaining populace of Mellitra VIII can be ensured..." she said, turning as the hologram flickered.

"But be warned. Even now, attempting to capitalize upon such catastrophe is always the forces of the Dilgar. Their demand that we withdraw from the Narn star systems they occupy and are fortifying is no less than an attempt to maintain their illegal conquest. I must bid you farewell now."

The hologram flickers, and fades from view. Delenn moves to pick up the projector. "Our transports have been mobilized with relief workers to the Narn Systems, from across all our space. The Narn govenor of our sanctuary world to them, Far'mill, will be able to confirm their launch."

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-04 12:25pm

"I would like to offer an unbaised view of the event," said Vera.

"The fleet was composed of Minbari and Vorlon ships. We know the Minbari ships don't have the weapons for orbital bombardment. We only have the Minbari's word for their explanation of events."

"From eyewitness accounts and computer simulations the Corporate Sector has pieced together the real events. The Minbari accepted the ships on good faith from the Vorlons. Then--" Vera twirled around pointing her finger at the Vorlon Ambassador. "--You, attempted to implicate the Minbari in your scheme of extermination! The Vorlon ship computers disobeyed the Minbari Commander's orders. In a frantic effort to save face, the Minbari have made up this story about crashing starbases!"

Vera turned to Lennier.

"The Minbari of course will never admit that they were played like puppets by the Vorlons, given weapons that they were never in full control of in the first place."

She turns to Kosh.

"And the Vorlons will never admit it. But we know the truth. The galaxy's growing up to your antics, and I doubt even the Minbari will fall for your tricks again."

"The Narn chairman will be in Milletra soon with his one hundred and sixty eight state of the art warships provided by the Corporate Sector. If I were him I'd be pretty angry at your warships right now." Vera pauses. "I'd actually blow your fucking ships out of the sky for slaughtering four billion innocent people, but that's just me. To avoid an interstellar war the Corporate Sector suggests that the Minbari immediately pull back their vessels away from the Narn worlds. If I was a Narn I would not be too happy with the Minbari right now. I would be out for blood."

Lyta rose from her seat.

"The vorlon ambassador tells me this is not entirely the Minbari's fault. Vorlon ships are designed to be crewed by vorlons, or at the least telepaths. They are semi intelligent beings, though not fully self aware.

The Minbari haven't lied, the fault lies with the unmanned ships. These ships simply fought to the best of their limited capacity. They are easliy mislead when unmanned, and their desire was certainly to attack Dilgar targets.

While we're unclear on what orders exactly the Minbari gave them, the Minbari clearly did not intend this to happen. At worst they should be considered attack animals that slipped their leash, at best they are simple creatures trying to do what they believe is right.

Either way I'm certain the Minbari government, along with the aid it has sent would condone the destruction of these vessles as the first step in addressing the grievance done to the Narn.

Our offer to the Narn remains open."

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-04 12:37pm

"The Narns aren't here right now. Their civilization is in ruins and their Chairman is trying to save their people. That you presume to speak for them after killing four billion civilians is low even for you Lyta. The Corporate Sector have been the only interstellar power to actively support the Narns through their troubled times."

"As well we've received reports from a people known as the Brakiri. Because of distance the Brakiri are unable to send their own representative, but through long range hyperspace communication we've determined that the Brakiri were recently attacked by a massive armada of Vorlon ships and commandeered Minbari vessels."

Vera turns to Lennier.

"Shocking isn't it? They gave you those ships and you gave them your ships in a fair exchange, and they're using your ships to invade a neutral power while the ships they gave you killed four billion civilians."

She turns back to the front.

"The Brakiri have amassed a powerful fleet the galaxy has never seen the likes of to remove Vorlon threat forever. I can't say I blame them--it's time somebody brought the Vorlons to justice. I'm telling you all this now so when the Vorlons come begging to this council for military aid, you'll know why. Because of their own arrogance they'll be annihilated. There's a human saying--don't bite off more than you can chew. Our scouts have determined the Brakiri have a vast empire and many powerful ships. In all likelihood the Vorlons will request military aid."

"The Corporate Sector will not be providing this aid. The Vorlons fend for themselves, and I recommend to the Council that none of you support the Vorlons when the Brakiri wipe them from the face of the galaxy."

Brian

Kojiro · Post by **Kojiro** » 2006-04-04 12:48pm

"I never spoke for the Narns, merely suggested that destroying the clearly out of control animals would be a good first move.

Yes, we know of the Brakiri. Yes, we initiated a lesser strike against them for their aid to the Dilgar. We learned some time ago that the Brakiri were building a doomsday fleet. It's enough to wipe everyone off the map. This isn't something they've just begun, it's something they've had going for years.

Perhaps Marxis believes their armada, as powerful as he calls it, is merely for use against the Vorlons? Oddly, that's what a captured Dilgar told us months ago. Given their refusal to form any sort of non aggression alliance with us and the fact we know the Dilgar wasn't lying we do not shirk from the responsibility though.

Odd though Marxis, you're so hard on the Vorlon military for it's actions but you're more than willing to let the entire populace die. Do you always condone xenocide when it suits your purpose? Or perhaps you'll simply claim they're the galaxys new butchers and annex their territory too."

Tobor · Post by **Tobor** » 2006-04-04 12:48pm

Rai'Jal practically leapt from his seat. For the first time since his appointment to the council his visage cracked from the serene to that of fury. He verily snarled as he shouted towards the Minbari ambassador

"SPARE US THIS MOCKERY OF JUSTICE!!"

"How long will we have to sit through this charade. IF the Minbari continue to perpetraste some myth that SPACE STATIONS crashing into Spite devestaed four billion people then we shall have to insist that they be ejected from this council."

Perhaps the new and improved Sharlins cannot target planets. We are, however, well versed in the damage inflicted by the zealot class vessel. Do not insult me, not to mention the Narn by trying to say they and thusly you were not responsible.
Anyone who watches the recordings of the combat will also notice Minbari vessels targeting and firing upon the planet. Perhaps not the larger fleet ships but the Nial Heavy fighters are more than capable of targetting planets as you well know ambassador..."

Fusion cannon, Neutron lazer one or the other. All that matters is that ALL fire origionated from your vessels.

"Once more. One last time so that everyone here, is completely aware of the fact. THERE WERE NO SPACE STATIONS ORBITTING SPITE WHEN THE MINBARI INVADED!"

"That means 0, none, complete absence there of."

"To continue pretending just makes you look foolish and further ruins what little credibility Alyt Nimune has."

As for moving upon the Narn. We never mentioned Mellitra, Nakoleen, or oleng in our statement for your immediate withdrawal.
Everything to the east of Quadrant 32 we arein the process of ceeding back to the Narn.

Your fleets mindless obliteration of civilians from all races has cost us considerably. Unless the Minbari federation is prepared to give us full control of a world to compensate for the 5 billion civilians laid at their feet then they have no place in this conflict...

Your presence here has only furhter destabilised the region. Your thirst for blood and destrurtion can not be tolerated!

"The Centauri Republic finds it offensive that the Corporate Sector would claim to be the only nation to have offered aid to the Narns," Vir said. "As the Dilgar ambassador has been quick to point out at every possible opportunity, the Centauri also supported the Narns, and the Narn's government in exile is currently in Centauri space."

An aid rushed up to him and handed him a small data pad. Vir knew that only a matter of extreme importance would cause his aids to interrupt during a speech, and he quickly scanned the pad.

"I have just recieved word that the remaining survivors of the attack on Spite are now all dead," he said quietly. "Four billion Narns have been wiped out in two months. Certainly, some deaths were to be expected due to the collapse of infrastructure, but all of them? Ambassador Delenn, does your military have any control over those Vorlon ships?"

Tobor · Post by **Tobor** » 2006-04-04 12:56pm

We further move that Nimune Starrider be extradited to spite, and her command cruiser be scuttled.

Upon landing a joint judiciary of Narn and DIlgar officials will try her for the war crimes perpetrated against both of our governments.

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-04 12:56pm

"Wipe off the map? Perhaps you have been playing too many holovids or cybergames Lyta, but there is no map. There is only a galaxy, and the sentient beings that inhabit it. What proof do you have that the Brakiri intended to destroy the galaxy? None at all. They were intent to leave the galaxy alone. When the Brakiri ambassador arrives I'm sure he'll produce evidence of more Vorlon atrocities--we have unconfirmed reports of the Vorlon ships destroying unarmed mining vessels."

"Lie all you want Vorlons, but the Brakiri are justified. I have also received assurances through hyperspace that the Brakiri, unlike the Vorlons, will bring massive numbers of troops. So the Brakiri will be fully justified in a military response to this unprovoked preemptive attack, and the Vorlons should not expect any support from any League or independent world, certainly not the Corporate Sector."

Kullenbrach tapped his lips. The Vorlon fleet hadn't emerged from Quadrant 15. Perhaps they had brought in reinforcements. These anceint ones had the ability to open and close hyperspace points. Not good. How could he hope to launch a counter-attack when the enemy could shut off his travel route?

Sometimes Kullenbrach wished he was a player in the galactic game of politics he knew was going on this very moment. All too often something like this Vorlon invasion would happen and he had no idea why. Still, he had made his own bed and he was going to lie in it. He may be stumbling blindfolded into the rest of the galaxy, but at least he knew who his friends were, and who they weren't.

"Ambassador Rai'Jal, didn't you hear me? Spite is now an empty, dead world," Vir said, irritated.

Kojiro · Post by **Kojiro** » 2006-04-04 01:07pm

"They have been amassing a terrifyingly large fleet for years. Our intelligence indicates it is intended to be used on us at the very least.

Those 'unarmed ships' are, as we speak, being retrofitted to mount guns. These are 1250kt vessels, larger than most dreadnoughts. They are the supply line that will fuel the warmachine.

And if you thing the loss of a few ships, ships we know were going to be used against us warrants the extermination of a race the Corporate Sector is indeed under poor leadership.

We ask for no help from the Corporate Sector, why would we? Deaths of vorlons by the billons suits you so of course you would not only not move to prevent a slaughter by actively support it."

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-04 01:13pm

Vera snorted.

"One-two-five-zero kiloton ships? I am not impressed by your jargon nor do I think the other League or independent worlds. In any case we know that the Vorlons for certain have a vessel larger than anything the Brakiri fields. The Corporate Sector has vessels nearly twice as large. Earthforce has similar technology and the Centauri most likely have the same. Not only that but our scientists assure us we could if we wanted to build ships nearly four times the size of Brakiri vessels."

"So the Brakiri threat is highly exagerrated. Face it Vorlons, you attacked first and you're going to get what you deserve. The Brakiri won't sink to your level and burn planets--and why should they? They'll seize your worlds and use your resources. I can't say I blame them."

Rai'Jal was momentarily interupted as an aide aprehensively approached him.

Whispering he pressed the aide

"What is it?"

"..."

"WHAT. THe planet has been completely sacked.."

He turned to the assmbled council.

"Due to this latest development. We will have to insist that she is instead apprehended upon resolve. Where we hope the Narn Regime will do no less than try her with extreme predjudice."

"On another note. The Vorlon forces continue to linger within the designated no fly zone. As prescribed earlier in these proceedings. In an effort to maintain the non interaction treaty we request the immediate removal of these ships. Surely they must know that a single vessel hidin on a jump point is no deterance. All it will achieve is to start another incident while they attempt to prevent us from recolonising the planets they razed."

Looking briefly to the Centauri delegate then back to the assemblage.

"Perhaps other governments are in league, trying to use this pause to move in upon our systems. We would not tolerate such an insult in light of the recent wounds we have sustained."

"Suffice to say. If we see 'ANY" colony ships moving in upon our recently devestated systems we will respond with extreme predjudice..."

"Take that however you choose. But it is there for all to see."

"As previously stated Ambassador those ships are damaged. As soon as they can leave they will.

We note also the Dilgar have gained control of a planet in the Berlin sector. A sector buried in Minbari space and next door to us.

I assume of course that they are simply renting the shipyard facilities, and the the Corporate Sector has no issue with this whatsoever."

We acknoweledge your statement Ms. Alexander. We are more imediately concerned with the Hunter class Vessel on the Vreetan Regula warp gate. This is on the other side of the system to the haven in Centauri space. We can only assume therefore that it is quite operational. If you cannot move it, we would be happy to assist you in its passage to freindlier space.

As to the matter of Berlin 1. We were commisioned by the Lorkan government to provide the planet with essential infrastructure. A project that will take approximately five years to conclude. Until such a time the planet, populated by Lorkan civilians, will be sub-governed by the Dilgar confederacy.

Kojiro · Post by **Kojiro** » 2006-04-04 01:49pm

"The Hunter class vessel has been recalled, as per your request. The Vorlon Empire also offers the Dilgar a goodwill gift. The Future class vessel is to be, shortly, gifted to the Centauri for their support show to the Narn and Vorlon Empires."
