The Kra'vak seem to be surround the entire human sphere!!  Bad news
indeed.
Where xactly would the Sa'vasku be located?  I had the impression they
were
somewhere between human and kra'vak space.

Good job in any case.

***I'm afraid I'm of the opinion that this is one case where the 2D map
doesn't do the 'real' world justice. Kra'vak could be around a major
part
of the circumference
of 'known space' without surrounding it. Ditto Sa'vasku. I would have
only
put a set of 'contact areas' on the map.

I always assumed that the 'new guys' were mysterious: home space for
each
unknown, forces currently faced merely scouting/probes.

Where did you hear that the new B5 Wars supplement is out? I would have
thought it would have showed at GenCon, and I was looking for it.
