Minbari
The Minbari are a fictional alien race featured in the television show ''Babylon 5''. The Minbari characters of Delenn and Lennier figure prominently throughout the series; Neroon, Draal, and Dukhat are less prominent Minbari characters.
The fictional planet of Minbar is the homeworld of the Minbari race. The planet and race were named by ''Babylon 5'' creator J. Michael Straczynski after the Islamic pulpit known as a minbar.
They use base-eleven mathematics〔"The Quality of Mercy", ''Babylon 5'', orig. airdate 17 August 1994〕〔(Minbari base eleven includes fingers... )〕 but also place a great emphasis on the number three. They are arguably the most enigmatic of the "younger races" and generally prefer a more isolationist way of life, in fact, in the made-for-TV film ''In The Beginning'' the Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari warns the Humans against trying to make contact with them for that very reason (a warning they ignored, ultimately leading Earth to almost complete annihilation in the Earth–Minbari War). Although the Minbari are considerably younger than the ancient First Ones, they are among the oldest of the "younger races". The Minbari are more advanced in terms of technology than the humans. During the time-frame in which most ''Babylon 5'' episodes are set, Earth warships and fighters (such as the Omega destroyers) are shown to be inferior in speed, maneuverability, and firepower to Minbari warcruisers and fighters.
==Homeworld==
In the Babylon 5 universe, Minbar is a planet in the system of Chi Draconis — a binary star system just over 26 light years from Earth. It is the seventh planet in orbit around the local suns and has two moons. Its day is shorter than Earth's, at 20 hours and 47 minutes, and its year is about 1.5 Earth years. Like Earth, Minbar has an oxygen—nitrogen atmosphere. The polar caps are larger than those on Earth; the northern cap covers 23% of the planet's surface and, on the whole, Minbar's climate is colder than that of Earth - more like the climate on Earth during the last Ice Age. The planet is noted for vast crystalline structures; many cities are carved directly from crystal. The population of the planet is about 4 billion, and the capital city is located at Yedor.
