It's never been exactly revealed. The Centauri claim they gave them interstellar travel but on the other hand Delenn recognised the Regime's claim on Ragesh III as pre-dating the occupation. There's also the fact that G'Quan knew about aliens, the Shadow War outside of Narn and the vague location of Z'ha'dum. Blind Wolf 12:12, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Narn having spaceships during the first Shadow war?[]

In the article it says: "At that time, the Narn were primarily an agrarian society; although they had small interstellar-capable explorer vessels, they were mostly ignored by the Shadows. When G’Quan suspected the Shadows were fighting a war off-world, Narn pilots began tracking their ship movements, confirming that they were engaged in a war that threatened to overwhelm the very stars themselves. These pilots also found the homeworld of the Shadows in a system located at the edge of known space"

What's the source for this? It seems very unlikely. All other evidence indicates that the Narn have had space travel for a shorter time.

In Ship of Tears G'kar specifically says that they didn't have space travel during the last shadow war, and speaks of G'Quan's fight as happening on the Narn home world. In Revelations it only says "G'Quan spoke of a great war long ago against an enemy so terrible, it nearly overwhelmed the stars themselves... before the enemy was thrown down, it dwelled in a system at the rim of known space".

It seems like someone has interpreted the mention of the Shadow's home world to mean the Narn had space travel and followed them to find it which is some very heavy editorializing. We know G'Quan was assisted by Vorlons, they could have simply told him this information. 118.102.85.182 05:26, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
