Re: A small request. (Babylon 4)
The canon story of B4 is shown in a comic book.

Sheridan, Ivanova discover B4 ( plays after the shadow war ) orbiting a planet. It,s heavily damaged, while they board the station, ships ( iirc Drakh ) attack the Whitestar and the station. They manage to escape with shuttles, but the Whitestar and B4 crashing onto the planet.

IIRC, it was actually an unknown alien race that attacked the station in the comic.  When the crew went abord, they discovered some race that was squatting in the station.  They were hostile, and during the fight, the station was damaged further and pushed into the atmosphere.

As to the request in this thread, it would be great if someone could finish the B4 model by adding turrets to it.  I have a campaign design that I've been working on for the last couple years that would include the B4 station as a central component.  Basically, B4 would be the central base of operations in my campaign.  I love the station, but I hate the idea of making it only a "backdrop" or only using it in non-combat missions.  Especially when, according to what tech info I can find, B4 was supposed to be more of a "battle station" with far heavier weapons and armor.

Heck, from what I have heard, the model for B4 was supposed to be the original model for the series, but their computers could not handel rendering the station on a routine basis.

Strange b4 was used in the previous Shadow encounter, and we know the grey council had records of this, yet only Dalenn (daleenn ? sp ?) recognised the Earth ship markings during the first Terran-Mimbari encounter.

Would the unknown alien race be the Tak'Cha?

The last war against the Shadows was 1000 years ago. And during "War without End" part I and II it' mentioned that the Minbari didn't know where B4 was coming from or that Valen ( Sinclair ) is a Human by Origin - A Minbari not born of Minbari..., they learned that later.

Dukhat knew that she is 'different' ( she has Sinclairs DNA ), and maybe he 'encouraged' her to learn more about that time period, which could explain why she recognised the markings on the Vessels.

    Delenn explicitly states she's been studying the Terrans when they're in the council chambers. At least in iTB.
