Once a peaceful and agrarian race with a tradition of personal honour, the
Centauri occupation of their homeworld changed the Narn forever. Coming to Narn
over a hundred years ago, the Centauri promised the primitive natives technology,
law and a route to the stars. Instead, they delivered only pain, injustice and
enslavement, strip-mining Narn’s natural resources to support the expansion
of their Republic. During the occupation, the Narn learned to first resist,
then fight in outright revolt that forced the Centauri off their homeworld.
Capturing abandoned Centauri technology, the Narn quickly built their own weapons
and ships, finding a new strength of purpose as they drove the Centauri out
of many nearby systems to form their own great Regime.
Today, the Narn are a people on the
rise, for as the Centauri fail, they grow and expand yet further. A few forests
have been replanted on their homeworld, but its resources still continue to
be exploited at a punishing rate, this time to fuel the expanding Narn Regime.
Spanning seventeen major systems, the Regime is now one of the major powers
in the galaxy and shows no sign of slowing down, though colonies tend to be
military outposts rather than civilian settlements. Its people remain aggressive
and there still exists a bond between all Narn who have been forced to sacrifice
greatly in the past to gain their liberty – most Narn will do almost anything
for another. They covet any new technology or other advantage that can grant
them a position of power over any other government. The initial expansion of
the Narn Regime has slowed in recent years, as they have been forced to engage
in diplomacy and trade rather than outright conquest but few are foolish enough
to completely trust any Narn. Though lacking the more advanced technologies
of the Minbari and Centauri, the Narn managed to steal much from their former
masters and are driven by a thirst for vengeance, backed up by almost limitless
manpower as all feel a sense of destiny propelling them forward into history.
The ships of the Narn Regime can
appear primitive compared to those of the other races but they are brutally
effective. The G'Quan is a common sight over many alien worlds and has proved
both rugged and versatile enough to be respected by many enemy admirals.
