The Lurker's guide to the Pak'ma'ra - Bryan Steele

One of the most infamous races of the Babylon 5 universe, the Pak'ma'ra are known as widespread lurkers, carrion eaters, foul-smelling yet consistently present everywhere in the galaxy. They are despised by many races due to others' views on their eating habits and hygiene, with millions of people from dozens of races refusing to know anything but their own stereotypes about the Pak'ma'ra. With this book, we hope to change that image. The Pak'ma'ra may be carrion eaters and religiously-driven invaders of privacy on a galactic scale, but they have a very in depth society and government that this book delves into. Showing the many unique processes found in the hierarchy of the Pak'ma'ra Civility, readers learn the true tenets of the Great Library of Melat and exactly why there is a massive defence fleet waiting in orbit around the Pak'ma'ra homeworld. New feats, prestige classes, and equipment that is focussed on the Pak'ma'ra's mastery of plasma technology can be found within these pages, not to mention a small collection of new starships that gives these otherwise ignored drifters an interesting new role in the Babylon 5 universe. You might just be surprised what you find. That is, if you can get past the smell.
