@FireCrack The "Vorchans" depicted in the fight do seem a lot slower than the what we do see of the Vorchans in the B5 seasons. The Vorchans from the series would fly circles around the EA ships.

@SardaukarOne I meant to say that the war between the EA and Centauri is what will happen as long as the Drakh are allowed to dominate the Centauri.

Vintari would make an ideal candidate for the Drakh to mold to their will; the Centauri are clearly the second strongest race left after the Minbari, and with Drakh tech, could eventually end up being no 1.

And we see this in the lost tales. What the Centauri will be like under the Drakh.

@FireCrack How can you tell? I just put it down to the special effects and it being some years after the original series and these were just a newer Vorchan model.

Also, this war is presumably what would have happened if the Drakh had not gotten removed from Cent Prime. And this also prevented them getting their hooks into Vintari.

In the books Galen does help Vir get the Drakh off Cent Prime and the events in this show happen before this.

@verdebusterAP I agree that more needs to be shown.

But the Cent ships are clearly more than a match for the EA ships. As you said, this is a one sided fight. Why is it so one sided is what really needs to be shown.

[FireCrack]

You two may want to not that these vessels are not, in fact, vorchans. These are newer, larger ships that share a similar shape to the vorchan but are not the same vessel.

[verdebusterAP]

@SardaukarOne I think more info is needed , because this just shows a one sided fight, like its needs to be seen from start to finish

[SardaukarOne]

@verdebusterAP Clearly Warlocks do need more armour. They are getting lit up like xmas trees.

The only obvious thing about the battle, apart from the fact that the EA is losing badly, is that the only way the Warlock can easily take a Vorchan out is if the Vorchan happens to be right in front of it.

If the Vorchan isn't right in front of the Warlock, the Warlock loses. Kinda like whats happening in the battle.

[verdebusterAP]

@SardaukarOne warlocks needing more armour is not the issue, the video puts u in in a instense battle with 3 EA ships outnumbered by 5 plus Centurai ships so no idea how long this battle has been raging so the warlock armour may have just finally give out, obviously it shows toe to toe a warlock can easily take a vorchan out but when its outnumbered 3-1 its a different story. then you have consider that earlier models of the vorchan could lay down a pretty devasting volume of fire

@DrMalHarkness

The B5 books, "Legions of Fire", of which there are three volumes, depict the struggle Vir and Londo have in removing the Drakh from Cent Prime.

The Drakh boost the Cent military after the Alliance has alienated them.

The books don't go into any real detail on what these advancements are, other than Cent ships were improved by the Drakh. And the Centauri, with the Alliance, use these ships to hunt the Drakh down.

The books are not very good to be frank, but its canon.

8) The flanking Vorchan took a hit. But if thats a heavy hit, then the hits its delivering to the Warlock are gargantuan hits. And the wing is far from coming off as you claimed in a prior post.

The Warlock is losing that engagement.

#3 is a ludicrous strategy. You yourself talked of how deadly warlocks would be in a 'jump and blast' strategy.

50% of the enemy would be gone you said? Or was it just 25%?

Friendly fire and ramming in b5? With all the dif ship types? Come on!
