There is no info on anything about them except their biological ships. The producers probably declared them a dead end, buddies with Starfleet after their second encounter. From "This galaxy will be cleansed" to "Here, have a rose" in two episodes...

Someone's just hit upon the true identity of series V.

Star Trek: Emeril.

Leave it someone to ruin a good villian to the peac loving race. They also ruin the best villian Trek has, the Borg. From unstoppable force to the Villian of the Week.

Species 8472 could have been a whole lot better but no we got peace loving freak of nature.

They could've been the Vorlons of Trek! And I didn't imply their ships look vorlon, I meant their superior , wordless and decisive attitude. That too was ruined by "In The Flesh".
"Boothby" should've stopped trying to impress the humans with typical human expressions the minute their cover was blown.
Yeah, like 8472 really appreciates roses. And he gives one to Katie, aww, what a polite squid!

Yeah, but these Vorlons would've been a tad bit too powerful, don't you think? (but of course, changing them into peace-loving flowerpower bugs (BIG bugs) over night was ridiculous to say the least.)

Well the vorlons and the shadows were the two most dangerous races in B5, as are 8472 and the borg.

But I agree that the invulnerability of the bio-ships was a bit too good, although the borg needed that motivation to join Voyager...

Out of curiosity, what the hell are you talking about? Studying ways in which to better destroy the Federation and then deciding to maybe not destroy them until all the facts are in equals pacifism? Yeah, ok, and I'm Edward R. Murrow.
