Minbari

The Minbari are regarded with a great deal of respect by the
other races, for they have been travelling the dark reaches
of space for many centuries and have access to incredible
technologies. Their ships are all but invincible in battle,
their weapons capable of penetrating any defensive measure
known. It is rumoured that they also have access to limited
bio- and temporal technologies, though this has never been
confirmed, for the Minbari are a secretive and spiritual people
who have only recently begun to mix with other races. No
one is quite sure why they have decided to openly emerge into
the galaxy at this time but their actions in the Earth-Minbari
War a decade ago have ensured most will tread lightly when
dealing with them.
