Narn

Narn is a fictional planet in the science fiction television series Babylon 5. It is the homeworld of the Narn species, a race of reptilian beings known for their physical strength and martial prowess. Narn society is characterized by a strong sense of community and a history marked by oppression and resistance. For many years, the Narn were under the control of the Centauri Republic, a period of subjugation that deeply affected their culture and aspirations.

The Narn homeworld is a harsh and arid planet, which has shaped the resilience and determination of its inhabitants. Their cities are often built underground or within natural rock formations to escape the extreme environmental conditions. Narn society is structured around a hierarchy led by a Prime Minister, who is elected by the people. Their religion is animistic, with a reverence for ancestral spirits and the natural world.

Key figures from Narn include G'Kar, a prominent diplomat and religious leader, and Londo Mollari, a Centauri ambassador who played a significant role in Narn-Centauri relations. The Narn's struggle for independence and their subsequent rise as a major power in the galaxy are central themes in the Babylon 5 narrative. Their history is one of survival, defiance, and the enduring hope for a brighter future. The planet Narn, and its people, represent a complex and compelling element of the Babylon 5 universe.
