 Having played as a Young race in the first Bab5 (I became a Shadow Minion and the Shadows won). I was keen to play in the second version of Bab5 (the second game was run by Steve who was the Shadow player in the first game).

For game rules see here http://starsautohost.org/sahforum/index.php?t=msg&th=324 7&start=0&rid=256&S=6e76572e5382265eaa3fa7e7a641 9090

I took the Vorlons (one of the 2 Elder Races - Vorlons and Shadows).

This is what happened from my point of view (note a fair amount of this I am writing well after it happened - so it may not be exactly what happened, but it is what I think happened).

Early Years
Stage 1 – For this I extensively test bedded. We had 30 years in 4 year multi gen jumps and we were not allowed to remove any population from our homeworld. I built several waves of scouts and joined them with fuel transports. This meant when the next phase started I had scouted a fair amount of the galaxy and although there were a few blank patches they would be scouted in the next few years and my scouting wave could then travel up the Galaxy to Shadow space.
Stage 2 – I found a number of potential yellow worlds, sadly no green (Vorlon and Shadow were both 1WW right shifted) and I sent out fair sized colony fleets as fast as I could. In the first couple of years I contacted 3 young races (one a CA! – who I practically guaranteed a place in my alliance) and offered them my help. I had planned to support about 5 and choose the best 3 at the end of the second phase.
I started tech transfers straight away – boosting their construction so that they could colonize quicker.
Unfortunately for my plans the next few races contacted were not that receptive to offers of help, or didn’t really seem to be good at selling me what it was I would get out of helping them.
My colony fleets hit the worlds and started building fac/mines – with overpoping this was swift growth and the OAs from one of my allies allowed me to terraform them while I was building the industry. Sadly there were only 2 worlds that were green with TT10.
After about 10 turns my most northern colonizer was shot down just as it tried to colonize a world about in the middle “Oshun” (this would have been a 3rd world I could have turned green). This was a blow particularly as my northern scouts were reporting back that the number of habitable/eventually habitable worlds in the northern half of the Galaxy were significantly greater.
