Homeworld 3 wiki4/28/2023 ![]() They cannot be conciliated or reasoned with, and are hostile to every other lifeform but their own. ![]() The Vex are capable of great feats of engineering such as reconstructing entire planets like Mercury and Nessus into their Machine Worlds, portal-based space travel, data processing, and timeline manipulation on a scale impossible for humanity, but lack language, thought and sentience in the human sense of those words. While individual Vex units are robotic in appearance, they are merely walking tools for radiolaria, microscopic organisms suspended in Vex milk that contains the species' collective intelligence. The Vex are a cyber-organic species as ancient as the Universe itself. Inside is the same as outside, and the two must be made to correspond." - Clovis Bray I. There is no difference between reality and simulation to them. " When the world does not match their eternal pattern, they alter the world to suit it. Indefinite (possibly thousands of years old or eons) Sparse frame, tails, and long claw-like fingersīiological Mind/Power Core (critical point) Large, fan-like head with a beak-like protrusion It froze the homeworld in time, hiding it from the Younger Races, and reappeared a million years later when the rift closed.Weave their way into the fabric of reality When the Vorlons left the galaxy, they activated the Time Rift defense. They also brought a time rift that the Vorlons discovered to the system, moving it via the use of gravity fields to warp space-time. If activated, it will open a massive vortex, drawing the planet into a specially constructed tunnel in hyperspace and delivering it onto a stable orbit around another star, one deeper within Vorlon space. The Vorlons have also installed a Jump Retreat System on the planet. Which will cause the sun to collapse and go supernova. On command, the device, which was buried at its core, will open up jump points. To prevent the homeworld from falling into the hands of either the Shadows or the Younger Races, the sun has been booby-trapped. Supplementing the fleet is a Jupiter-sized hive within the system, one with a self-replicating swarm fleet, with possibly millions of self-aware ships. ![]() Each ship requires an actual Vorlon to activate, though there are fewer Vorlons than there are ships today, the fraction that is active stands ready to defend the homeworld. It has a Vorlon war fleet, though most of the garrison ships are asleep at the edges of the solar system. An enemy firing on the station must thread this labyrinth of energies to hit the defense station. They are at the heart of special vortices, with weapon systems that are adapted to the chaotic swirl of the surrounding vortex. Vorlon Defence Stations with disruptors that exist simultaneously in hyperspace and realspace defend the homeworld. Not even the Shadows have ever been able to get anything past their defenses. No other species has ever been to the Vorlon homeworld. It's not known if the planet is actually a planet or if it's a computer system the size of a planet, only two known people have ever been to the Vorlon homeworld - Sebastian and Lyta Alexander. It's a world city, from pole to pole, and from the core to the surface. The Vorlon Homeworld is a planet, that lacks a climate and has no weather. (the following is from the Babylon 5 the Roleplaying Game's sourcebook: Darkness and Light) The following is based on The Mongoose Publishing RPG books and contradicts canon sources. ![]() In 1,002,261, having evolved into beings similar to Vorlons, humans took up residence on the Vorlon homeworld, renaming it "New Earth" when Sol was induced to go nova by parties unknown. Lyta Alexander has said that the Vorlon homeworld was "off limits" until the younger races were ready for the technology left on the planet. Įxpeditions were sent to the planet following the Vorlons' departure, none of which survived, destroyed by the automatic defence systems. In 2261, after the Battle of Coriana VI, the Vorlons left the galaxy with all the other First Ones to travel beyond the Galactic Rim. Vorlon medical facilities on the homeworld When it came to the Vorlon Homeworld, virtually nothing was known about the planet, and the only known non-Vorlons known to have been there and returned were Sebastian and Lyta Alexander.
