Centauri Names

TheEXoneTheEXone Ranger
in Babylon 5
I am making an independent campaign of the Narn -Centauri war for freespace2 and I was wondering if anyone could come up with some good names for the main characters. Basicly Pilots, admirals, captains etc.. Also names for capships and stations.

Oh, and What do you guys think is better, to play from the Narn or from the Centauri side?

    No problem. In case you need them, the other major B5 races have sections located off:
    [url="http://www.pcnet.com/~jdutka/b5/rp/"]http://www.pcnet.com/~jdutka/b5/rp/[/url]

    Just click on the race's logo and you'll be all set (this was data I gathered for an online B5 RPG on which I helped as an administrator).

    Where'd you get all this from? I've actually come across the page before, when I was researching for my own GURPS-based RPG.

    I was one of the head admins on a Babylon 5 RPG that some of us coded. It was text-based, but was good at its prime. The IC news section off [url="http://www.pcnet.com/~jdutka/b5/rp/"]http://www.pcnet.com/~jdutka/b5/rp/[/url] lists some events we held...some of which were to lighten things up and some which were downright serious. We set the game just before Coming of Shadows and split from the series after that. It's amazing how different things went from the series, while still remaining reasonably true to the B5 universe.

    Unfortunately, the coders went AWOL and bugs started building up. I couldn't run things by myself, so shut it down. Plus, there just wasn't much of a market any more for text-based B5 role-playing games/sessions, especially compared to original themes, Star Trek, hack and slash or Matrix.

    I'd spent about six years gathering the info on that page from a variety of sources - the series, books, TV movies, magazines, etc.

    My campaign started off just after the Earth-Minbari war. Currently, I have seven different players to keep track of, though typically only five out of that group will show up at any one session. It is now approaching mid-2253, and my, has the timeline diverged. A lot. To put it simply: Babylon 3 just went operational.

    How much of the info on your page comes from canon sources, and how much did you come up with yourself?
