Narn Regime Fact Book
Once, on a lush and verdant world in an isolated
sector of space no one in the galaxy cared about, there lived a race of sentient beings
called the Narn. They lived and toiled to bring in a good harvest every year and gave no
more thought to raising a galactic empire as they did trying to learn to fly or whether
there was life on other worlds. From past experience, they knew the latter to be true, but
it did not concern these peaceful, agrarian people.
Unfortunately, it should have. They should have been
concerned when alien spacecraft made landfall on their primary continent and disgorged
hundreds of pale, strangely furred men called Centauri. They should have known that
creatures from other planets could rarely be trusted, especially when they came in the
guise of friends. They should have been ready to defend themselves when those ships came,
their holds empty in anticipation of returning to Centauri Prime with a hold full of
slaves. They should have been concerned, but they were not.
What followed was more than a century of oppression,
brutality, and enslavement. Families were wiped out for being too aggressive
or not suitable to peaceful service. Cities were burned as an example to other
Narn that would not accept their new masters. Ancient lore was lost and the quiet agrarian
people of the Narn that was became the embittered, hostile Narn that is.
