In this video, we will be reviewing the Walkers of Sigma-957 history, technology, and ships. How old are the Walkers compared to the other first ones? Are their ships more powerful than their brethren? We will also be reviewing the traveler, Waymaker, and the Pathfinder.

The Walkers are the most fascinating to me. The fact that they seem that far ahead of the other first ones is crazy, not to mention that they discovered "third space" before hyperspace. No wonder they hated the Vorlons (with their experimentation leading to a potential invasion and destruction of the galaxy). Other races must seem like blundering idiots to them.

ZOOOOG! The Krishiach went to war with the Walkers to secure Hyperspace Technology. The Walkers responded by taking one of the three moons of the Krishiach home world away. The resulting gravimetruc, seismic and Climatic effects wreaked havoc for 6 hours...before the Walkers brought it back in a better orbit than it was in before. The Krishiach sued for peace immediately

Ivanova and delenn back then is how you did female characters justice imo 👍

[descendinguniverse]

Walkers are somewhat romantics, whereas Vorlons and Shadows are focused on domination over each other, Walkers are just about travelling😀
However when they appeared in the final battle, that was the most badass thing ever, well, along with other First ones, of course

Great video again! I like that we know very little about the first ones, it keeps them mysterious. But in a new B5 show i wouldnt mind alittle nudge about these guys!

[sylph]

My left ear enjoyed that. Jokes aside, great video and series

[shanenolan]

Thanks. I didn't know about the third space thing . Probably explains why they were pissed at the vorlons.

[krzosu]

I kinda liked how Marcus teased them with the phrase "Who would have thought them to be French" ;]
I kinda like that they don't use conventional weapons but their science equipment can be used as weapons - that is very weird aproach to combat - aka imagine using your sensors as weapons xD

Very interesting, it turns out that the Walkers are not only orbiting Sigma-957, but simply returning to "update data".

On their planet there is an somekind of library, which they replace with statistical data, maybe as a tribute to tradition - perhaps this library appears in them even before going into space.

Yes, and the ship in orbit does not the same one all the time - just the same class, or we simply cannot understand their markings.

And they themselves still walking between the worlds and higher spheres, as if these millions of years did not pased - of all the First Ones, they are probably the only ones, except for Lorien, who have survived unchanged to this day.



And no, you should definitely NOT land on Sigma-957.
The fact that the planet is in ruins, there are no protective satellites, and the Walkers are not always found, only means that they have protected their property enough to be able to "Walk without worry".








P.S.

By the way, an interesting fact is that the image that Susan saw at the negotiations is not their appearance, and not a spacesuit - just an icon, a conventional symbol.

The true form of their race is still a mystery.





P.P.S.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LAND ON SIGMA-957.

[shanenolan]

Great idea. For a series Walker hyperspace tech is similar to shadow . Method.

[sargoth]

They had the most awesome ship I've ever seen. I love it. Hope they get into much more history of the first ones. Would love to see what the travelers look like.

First Lesson of B5 Space - You don't mess with the Walkers, only Lorian can get their attention.

[aliservan]

Daaaamn, this tickled my geek bone soooo well

[alanmike]

Ub.

I just remember Ivanas speech about the vorlons carry the Weight and the walkers going HELL NO 😂😂😂😂

[krakendragonslayer]

Babylon 5 is no shit the best Sci-Fi serie I watched, and I watched many.

[saliston]

What I don't get is all the first ones seemed to stop progressing millennia ago.

[allisonrich]

Thank you for another great video. Thank you for continuing your coverage of B5.

[jacara]

I hope the other First Ones get more back story in the reboot

[Toshiro_Mifune]

man i started rewatching b5 this weekend, and sigma 957 is one of the early episodes. coincidence? yeah probably but who cares.

Now get the Hell out of our Galaxy.

[eprohoda]
