Narn Regime

Formation of the Narn Regime

Post-Centauri Occupation (2259 – 2260)

• After decades of brutal Centauri occupation, the Narn finally expelled their oppressors in 2259, reclaiming their sovereignty.
• The newly established Narn Regime sought to rebuild their devastated homeworld and restore national pride.
• Leaders like G’Kar and the Kha’Ri (the ruling council) emerged to shape early policies and guide the Narn people forward.

Rebuilding and Expansion

Initial Reconstruction Efforts (2259 – 2262)

• The Narn Regime focused on rapid military expansion and industrial rebuilding to ensure they would never be subjugated again.
• Much of their infrastructure had been devastated, requiring significant reconstruction efforts.
• The Regime sought to expand its influence, reclaim lost territories, and forge alliances to strengthen its position.

Conflicts with the Centauri (2259 – 2262)

• Despite their independence, tensions with the Centauri Republic remained high.
• Skirmishes and political disputes continued, especially over former Narn colonies now controlled by the Centauri.
• The Narn sought revenge for their oppression, leading to aggressive military actions against Centauri forces.
• This cycle of hostilities contributed to ongoing instability between the two powers.

The Second Shadow War Involvement

Alliances and Battles (2259 – 2261)

• The Narn aligned themselves with those opposing the Shadows, recognizing the threat they posed.
• They provided military support to allies, including Babylon 5, in the fight against the Shadows and their influence.
• However, in 2260, the Centauri — under the Shadows’ guidance — launched a devastating attack on Narn, reducing its cities to rubble and reoccupying the planet.
• The Kha’Ri was disbanded, and the Narn were once again under Centauri rule, though resistance movements fought back fiercely.

Post-Shadow War Period

Reconstruction and Diplomacy (2261 Onward)

• With the fall of Emperor Cartagia and the withdrawal of Centauri forces in 2261, the Narn regained their independence once more.
• The remnants of the Kha’Ri reestablished leadership, focusing on rebuilding their shattered world.
• Economic and military recovery became top priorities, as the Narn sought to ensure their self-sufficiency and security.
• Diplomatic efforts aimed at securing alliances and preventing further Centauri aggression gained momentum.

Challenges and Achievements

Ongoing Struggles and Resilience

• Despite regaining independence, the Narn faced severe economic hardship and political instability.
• Internal struggles within the Kha’Ri tested their ability to maintain a unified government.
• The scars of war left many Narn deeply resentful of the Centauri, complicating diplomatic relations.
• However, their resilience and determination allowed them to endure and rebuild.

Emerging as a Key Galactic Power

• The Narn Regime sought to establish itself as a major player in the galactic community.
• They leveraged their history of resistance and survival to form new alliances and expand their influence.
