When was the Telepath War, and when came the Victory class into service?

Well, the Victory and the Excalibur fought off the Drakh in the year 2267 I believe (5 years after B5's seasons 5 right? ). So the telepath war would have been a little earlier.

Hah, that picture is just pure fan art.
*looks at filename of that pic* Seems like name of that VCD is eXecutor, and mass production of VCD's takes a long time after the Drakh assault on Earth.

Well, they do show a brief segment of the end of the Telepath War in a flashback in Crusade. There's an episode where they pick up an alien that brings up their most emotional moments from the past and forgives them. The first officer (the telepath) remembers back when he was interning at a major Psi Corps base somewhere on Mars. An important resistance leader had been captured, and he was assigned to administering her sleepers. However, she convinced him that what he was doing was wrong, so he stopped giving her the sleepers, and she gave off a telepathic signal which gives the resistance some targetting info. She then tells him to flee the facility when the time comes, and as he is escaping with others in a shuttle, a massive explosion consumes whatever dome the base was in. Since he got into EarthForce, he probably needed some training, so this war probably ended at least a couple years before Crusade started, since he also had some time on Gideon's explorer vessel.

Yeah,
Wasn't the Telepath War supposed to be Byran's people(later Lida's people??) Vs. the Psi-corp, which by Crusade had been disbanded in favor of some new regulations that say Tep's have the same rights as "mundanes"? At least tahats what I understand about the subject from watching Crusade.

The Psi-Corps was disbanded, and telepaths were free to do what they wanted jobwise, which included joining EarthForce obviously. I think they were supposed to be self-regulating, but there were some higher level telepaths who went about checking up to make sure everyone was behaving themselves.

and if u noticed these higher level telepaths (most likely ex psi cops) travel on shuttles with an black omega insignia. just a bit off useless info but interesting non theless:P. it shows that psi corp is still around but in a much smaller version than it was origionally. also the telepath war ended one year previous to ACTA.
