Vorlons



The Vorlons were villains from the 1994 Science Fiction series Baylon 5.

History
The Vorlons were one of the older races of teh galaxy, and, along with the Shadows, were one of the last to become associated with an organization known as the First Ones. When teh rest of the First ones left, the Vorlons and the Shadows remained as the only Sentient beings in the galaxy. WHen they saw new sentience evolving, the Vorlons desired to put that life under a strict code of order. The Chaotic Shadows disagreed, and the two races went to war. After seeing a stalemate at hand, the Vorlons and SHadows agreed to go to war once every thousand years. Knowing that Shadows were weak to telepaths, the Vorlons went from planet to planet engineering life topossess telepathy, often meeting those species in their visits. The Vorlons were seen and immediately recognized as gods for so long that they started to beleive that they truly were gods.

Babylon 5
In the TV series Babylon 5, the Vorlons communicate mainly through their ambassador, Kosh. They did appear in other instances, such as when they killed Deathwalker when they felt that the lesser races were not ready for immortality.

In Seaon 4, the Vorlons finally revealed themselves as a devine military force, killing Shadows in a war that raged across the galaxy. The Vorlons realeased a weapon known as the "planet Killer" in order to rid the galaxy of the Shadows. SUch was their devotion that the Vorlons would destroy any planet with even a trace remaining of Shadow influence, no matter how many sentient beings were present when the planet was destroyed.

During a decisive battle, First One Lorien, with help from Jeffrey SInclair and Delenn, managed to convince the two races to cease their pointless fighting. They then left the Galaxy with Lorien, on a quest to find the other First Ones. In the final Episode of the series, it is heavily implied that the Vorlons had reached the afterlife itself in their quest to explore.
