Biology:
Although their leathery skin leads many people to mistake them for reptiles, Narn are actually marsupials. This is evidenced by references to "pouchlings", "pouch brothers", and the insult, "Kiss my pouch." After Narn females give birth, the males carry the infants in their pouches for three months.

Society:
The Narn ruling body is a parliament called the Kha'Ri, and it is made up of eight circles. The four inner circles are in permanent session in the capital city of G'Kamazad. The four outer circles only assemble periodically. The First Circle is made up of eight Narn who rule the entire Narn Regime. The Second Circle has sixteen members, two advisors for each Councilor in the First Circle. The Third Circle is made up of twelve diplomats and ambassadors. Therefore, several of them are often absent performing their duties. G'Kar, the Narn Ambassador to Babylon 5, was a member of the Third Circle. Military leaders hold the seats of the Fourth Circle. The Fifth and Sixth circles are made up of regional and colonial governors. Most of their duties are performed in their own districts rather than in the capital city. The Seventh and Eighth Circles are filled by scholars and historians. There are both merit-based and hereditary factors involved in selecting the members of the Kha'Ri.

History:
The Narn Regime is inexorably tied to the Centauri Republic. The Centauri occupied Narn for most of the 22nd Century. Their second occupation in 2259 through 2261 was shorter but more devastating due to the use of mass drivers during the invasion. Even during times of relative peace, the Narn are driven by a strong thirst for revenge against the Centauri. They finally got their revenge in 2262 when the Narn fleet bombarded Centauri Prime from space.
