"No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power government and tryants and armies canont stand. The Centauri learned this leasson once. We will teach it to them again, Though it will take a thousand years, we will be free."
Citizen G'Kar, December 2259
The Narns are a remarkable sturdy race that was caused by the extreme conditions of the Narn homeworld. Their skin is very think that allows them to live in comfort in both the sweltering heat and chilling cool, because of their skin is an efficient heat exchange and retainer. Snice their skin is so effective as a temperature maintenace, the Narn do not sweat like a human dose, this is due to kept the precious water sealed within their body. Also their body kept energy in a very efficient manner, allowing them to hibernate for a maximum of six days without anytype of nourishment, this is also allows them to only eat twice a day. Snice the sun of the Narn homeworld is red giant, the Narn are very sensitive to that part of the visable light spectrum. The Narn aren't that long lived as the Minbari, early middle age for the Narn is about 50 to 60 years.
While their appearance seems to be reptilian to Humans, the Narn are marsupials, a lower form of a mamual. The Narn female bears the young and then the young is carry by the male of the race in their pouch. The Narn physiclogy can allow physical intercourse with humans, but there can be no offspring unless there is very extenseive genetic engineering. Also the Narn are very good at genetic manipulation because Gills can be grafted into a body to allow breating in non-oxygen atmorsphere.
The Narn have a very high stamina, so it take a very large amount of alcohol to have them be affect by it. In moderate quantites are comsumed, the alcohol simply make a Narn very happy.
The Narn once had telepaths somewhere in their histroy and during that period of time all of the telepaths and their families were all killed. After this the telepathic gene for the Narns wasn't that strong in any of the ones that followed after that to have a nautral one. The only hope for the Narn is the used of Dust.
The Narn admire those who that win and shun the ones that lose, and the Narn have a great pride for those who win. To aviod to be shamed by the other Narns they will used aids from the other races like glasses that have a prescription that is close to them.
The Narns are a naturally paranoid race, and being an enslaved race, this didn't help them one singal bit. So they perceived that any alliance between two or more alien races created to them the possibility that they would become a target of their combine aggresstion. Also due this paranoid that they have is the used of technology that is an insatiable and the only way that they can do that is through shady deels with tech-runners.
The culture of the Narn is almost as old as the race itself, with the exception of the Centuari Occupations. The Narns have a cutlure that is a web of clans, families, domains, circles, organizations, information speres, financial distructs, tribes, and communities. This strict on the webs of socities help weed up people who aren't wellcome, leading the Narn to boast that they have few prisons. Somebody who wasn't born up in this relationships, this series of interlocking relationships is something that they can't deel with. This even more stress with the divisions of socials classes with the Inner Circle being the peak of the Narn society. The Narns also have swords that are used sometimes, one of them is called a ka'tok, which is a sword that is once draw can't be sheathed without drawing blood. Also an individual with a Narn bodyguard is said to be some who will live to be one hundred and fifty.

The Narns unlike many races, have a love on reveage and they gloryfly it in their way of live. The way that they do is with the use of a Shon'Kar, or a blood oath, to this is to fulfillment of that goal in one's life. A Narn would willing sacrifice his or her life to fulfull the goal. There are two version of this blood oath, one is to make it not really expecting to fulfill it or the more serious this is normaly done by bloodletting. This is normaly done by cutting a scar across the forehead, declaring the Shon'Kar to the higgest thing in their life.
The Religion of the Narn is very various competting religions. The two largest ones are those of G'Quon and G'Lon, but this isn't the only religions on the Homeworld of the Narn.
One of them is called The Old Pantheon which was one that was way before the time of the Martyrs and the Prophets, in this time the Narn worshiped a large group of gods and goddness.
The prophets were the successors to the Old Pantheron that inculded G'Quon, G'Lan, and many more. At first when G'Quan started his teaching G'Lan at first belive him. At something G'Lan and his religion separate from G'Quan's.
If a Narn is a follower of G'Quan must celebrate the Holy Days of G'Quan wherever they are. During this period of time the drinking of alcohol is forbidden and the activites such as shopping is also forbidden. One of the rituals to be performed during this holy season require the used of the a plant that is called a G'Quan Eth, which is a very expensive to transport and is illegal to save for religious purposes. They used as a symbol of their fate by buring it as incense. The requirments of this celebration is that the higgest ranking member of the faith must lead the celebration to the rest of the members of the that faith. To it must be done when the Narn star's first light touches the G'Quan mountain on a certain day.
The Martys are a group of those that fought in the first Centuari occupation nd died are honored as a Martyr. Their actions are reguared as holy and are remembered early at the Blood of the Martys ceremony.
The goverment of the Narn is govern by a joit ownership of the Inner Circle and the Kha'Ri. In late many of the Kha'Ri have huted down, tried for War crimes and even killed the Centauri, the only one who escape that was G'Kar. Normaly the advancement in governmental power is normaly throught sponership by another in a higher postion, but there are times when less honorable methouds are used to insured a quick rise to the top. Their system of money is called the mark, but the older system of money called the Bloodstone, is perfectly accepable and also to have this is a sign of this is sign of status.
The Narn military is only answerable to the Kha'Ri, which is divded into three branches, that are Naval Arm, the Air and Space Defense Force, and the Ground Army.
The most perstigious brance out of the military is the Naval Arm, because this group is charged with the defense of the homeworld system and command by the Inner Circle. The Narn Arm is used by the Kha'Ri to enforce its polices but only in the borders of the Narn Regine and to expand the Narn terrories. The Arm and Space part of the military is used to to relegated the colony and system defense space this is also used to help the the Navl Arm even if they are limited to fighters, shuttles, and oceanic vessales. The Ground Army is thought to the lowest out of all of the defense forces, this is used to occupited a planet, while they used some ground vehicles, the sheer manpower is most often applied.
There is a point of interss here, the Narn do have an FLT communications system, but they also used couriers on a weekly basis to guarantee security with the messages that are sent by the Narns.
