Dureena Nafeel?

[munnp001]

if memory serves Dureena's people were wiped out by the shadows during the war. Does anyone remember the name of her people and their home-world?

<checks the Crusade Writer's Bible and scripts for "A Call to Arms" and "Patterns of the Soul"> As far as I know, there was never any name given to her race or her planet.

Any idea what part? I mainly checked when she arrived on the Station and Zack makes her hand in her weapons. The first appearance of a character is usually where details like that are, even if they don't mention it onscreen. In this case, the scene starts off:

INT. BABYLON 5 - CUSTOMS

A line of new Arrivals weaves its way through the scanners, there is someone new in the line, an exotic but baguely dangerous looking alien woman named DUREENA. Golden-eyed and raven haired, he clothing leans toward dark leathers and metal, but on outragously so...just a sense of strength to her. She also has an "I could give a shit" attitude, the result of a lot of hidden anger.

In one of the dream sequences, Dureena thinks that she's back on her world but Galen says that it's not, it's another that shared the same fate.

EDIT to add: I just reread the original post. I'm quite sure that it was the Drakh who killed Dureena's people, not the Shadows.

From the Lurkers Guide

Dureena blames Sheridan for the destruction of Zander Prime. For attracting the Shadows, and not being there to help despite requests. But Sheridan explains they didn't know about the attack until it was too late; and even if they had heard, they didn't have anything to stand up to the Shadow's planetkiller. He's asked himself over and over, since the war, if there was anything he could do to save more people. But there wasn't. He also points out it was the Drakh and the Shadows who destroyed her planet, and the Drakh are still around. She then recalls Sheridan's transformation in her dream. Sheridan offers her the chance to strike at them. Dureena relents. Perhaps this is what the dream meant.
