History
Despite the defeat of the Narn, the Centauri military campaigns and expansion began to affect other races that included both the Drazi as well as Pak'ma'ra. Both species territories had been invaded with one of the Drazi's listening posts being 'liberated' though they stated that this was only establishing a presence with rumors stating that they were going to attack other races as well as worlds. These acts threatened to destabilize the entire region though the Centauri Republic claimed that they were creating a buffer zone around their empire in order to decrease the risk of conflict and lessen tensions. Though other races stated that these were invasions the Centauri officially claimed that these were exaggerations by the other species. (Episode: The Fall of Night)
