When the Centauri reconquered the Narn, the Narn lost their seat on the council. Additionally, since the League was fairly fractious and noncommittal it's doubtful they could have chosen a single ambassador to represent all of them on the council. | |

That said, the League were also a diverse and not-terribly-unified lot, or they would have held more sway. | |

| Jan 31, 2018 at 2:03 | comment | added | Radhil | @HorusKol - everyone there (save the obvious exception) was there due to their ties to Earth, so I didn't really feel that was good evidence one way or the other. | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 1:50 | comment | added | HorusKol | The Narn had also supplied weapons and ships to the Humans during the Human-Minbari war, so were on reasonably good terms when the Council was established | |
| Jan 31, 2018 at 1:31 | comment | added | Radhil | @Randal'Thor - at that point Earth had already had a "change of heart". Via assassination of the leader that actually did care about keeping peace and B5's mission. Or put it another way, I am assuming the pre-B5 Earth government actually gave a crap. | |
