The Minbari Federation Fact Book

What little is known to other races about the Minbari is a tantalizing assortment of minor facts that hint at something deeper but reveal very little of it. The Minbari are physically strong and quite languid in their movements. They have no hair on their heads or bodies, though facial hair sometimes occurs in older males. The back part of their skulls extends through their epidermis into a bone crest that adorns and protects the back of their heads. Patterns of color, generally a pale blue, cover the scalp and usually run from the brow all the way back to this skeletal ridge. As with human fingerprints, no two skull crests or scalp patterns are exactly alike and seem to be as identifying a mark among Minbari as their own faces.

From what the Minbari will tell openly about their culture, they are separated racially into three castes. These divisions are the Warrior, Worker, and Religious Castes, and all Minbari belong to one of them as far as outsiders can tell. Most contact between the Minbari and other races occurs through the most open of these castes, the Religious. The Worker Caste is primarily concerned with building and maintaining the planets of the Minbari Federation, while the Warrior Caste is unapproachable in their role as the race’s elite soldiers and guardians.
