REDEFINING THE FUTURE
REDEFINING
THE FUTURE
Following my last
posting, explaining the revisions to the chronology, the 23rd
Century section is where there are the most visible changes to
date. Here certain events linked to the Minbari have been
recalculated based on the Minbari cycle ( 1 cycle to 1.3 standard
Earth years) and events linked to the Narn have also been
recalculated, based on the Narn year (1 Narn year to 1.22
standard Earth years)
Some notable changes
are involving Delenn.
From the comments in
The Deconstruction of Falling Stars, it is stated that Minbari
live longer than humans, one commentator expresses his opinion
that Delenn couldn’t be alive after 140 years, it is not
implicit whether he means human or Minbari years. If it were
human years Delenn would be 105 cycles old. If it were Minbari
cycles then Delenn would be 186 Earth years old. In the light of
Joe’s postings regarding her involvment with the Grey
Council for 20 cycles, I chose to go with her chronological
apearance during the series and plummed for her age as 120 cycles
in 2362 (a date also mentioned) or 160 Earth years.
The next major change
comes with G’Kar and events around the Narn.
G’Kar established
in 2259 that the Centauri invaded Narn 150 Earth years ago, in
2109. He also stated the occupation lasted 100 years. In the
original chronology, Sinclair’s mention of the 100 year
occupation also led me to believe it ended in 2209. It has been
noted that G’Kar was a prominent resistance leader during
the war of liberation not only by G’Kar, but also
Jha’dur and Londo. By expressing the occupation as 100 Narn
years, gives scope for G’Kar to reach this position. Based
on this information the occupation began in 2109 and ended in
2231.
