You only ever saw 3 crew. That doesn't in any way mean there weren't more. It
just wasn't important to the story that he show more.

I jusr remember (but memory like sieve!) someone quoting JMS as saying
Centauri didn't have artigrav.
OTOH their ship designs make a lot more sense if they _do_

Agree there. Have seen several SSDs for White Stars in FT/EFSB format -
can't remember seeing any sign of atmospheric capability on them though.
