- "They are a mystery. And I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the universe."
- – G'Kar on the Walkers of Sigma-957
The Walkers of Sigma-957 are a race of First Ones who inhabited the region of space surrounding the planet known as Sigma 957 for reasons never fully understood. For many years, they would completely ignore any of the younger races who tried to contact them (including the Narn Regime), sometimes even oblivious to their presence.
In 2260, as the Army of Light began to form against the upcoming war against the Shadows, Cmdr. Susan Ivanova sought them out aboard the White Star, using information learned from the Great Machine on how to contact them. She manages to convince them to join the allies, even though the Walkers indicated they had no love of the Vorlons.
They participated in the final battle of the Second Shadow war by helping destroy the Vorlon planetkiller. They then departed the galaxy with the rest of the First Ones after the Battle of Coriana VI.
[edit] Notes
- The names "Walkers" is never explicitly mentioned in the series, nor is is the real "name" of the species. However, J. Michael Straczynski has stated that the species' name is 15,000 letters long. [1]
