The Zener Empire is for all intent and purpose, wiped out. A battle transcript is available here: Fall of an Empire

March 17, 2264: Key Personnel under Ex-Emperor Sinclair have confessed to helping plan an insurgence against the Earth Alliance with Sinclair at its head that would have involved killing then President Ian Richardson. They have been granted immunity and dismissed from the Military. This piece of evidence along with data crystals obtained at the Residence of Sinclair builds a strong case against Sinclair. The Trial Begins tommorrow.
March 15, 2264: By order of Justice Ian Richardson, Emperor Sinclair was today charged with conspiracy to commit treason and murder and the illegal destruction of th Earth Alliance. Justice Richardson has disbanded the government under Sinclair and has begun a trial in absentia. This is an Historical Irony given the fact that this has occurred on the Ides of March.
February 23, 2263: We've just gotten confirmation that a massive battle is taking place over the Narn colony of Perko. Lets watch :::screen cuts to battle:::
March 9, 2264: The Drakh are again in the news tonight announcing that they have withdrawn from the Zener-TD-Drakh peace treaty. A state of war now exists between the Drakh and the Zener.
March 9, 2264: With the news of multiple Drakh attacks against allies of the Terran Dominion, Terran citizens on multiple worlds began violent protests against the Drakh and the current policy of neutrality by the Terran Dominion. Emperor Sinclair has remained unpopular in the minds of most Terrans since his takeover of the government in early February. Protesters clashed with police and soldiers outside the gates of the Imperial palace and other government buildings. Rumors filtering into ISN report protests on multiple worlds including Narn and Centauri Prime.

February 21, 2263: Today, stunned spectators looked on as a group of Drakh ships attacked and destroyed the ISA space station, Babylon 5. ISN does not believe anyone survived the attack. The Drakh ships later targeted and destroyed several escape ships. ISN received only a gargled message from the station's first officer saying they were under attack. This is truly a sad day for the interstellar community.
March 7, 2264: The ISA has made an announcement welcoming the Narn Empire into its ranks. ISA Warships will now help the Narn defend their borders.
March 3, 2264: Good evening Ladies and Gentleman. Tonight we have the first piece of noteworthy news in almost a month. The Zener Empire, Terran Dominion and Drakh Empire signed a peace treaty today ending the bitter 2 month war that threatened to destroy the Zener Empire. Under the terms of the treaty a small monitoring force composed of Drakh and TD ships will patrol the area complimented by listening posts.
February 7, 2264: A letter from President John Sheridan has just reached ISN. What makes this so amazing is that he is supposedly dead. Apparently after the Drakh attacked Alpha 4 President Sheridan escaped on a stealth capable Hel'Zha class Ranger fighter. He has been gathering his forces and allies during the past few months. And has reformed the Inter Stellar Alliance, announcing that Emperor Sinclair has already committed the TD to this alliance. He also stated that the Zener Empire has committed to the Alliance, which creates an interesting situation now that both the TD and Zener are at war with each other. How he handles this situation could decide the future of the Alliance.
February 4, 2264: In an effort to allay the fears of the citizens of the Terran Dominion and the news media in general, the Emperor today declared that a 'check' so to speak will be placed on his power. A Supreme Court run by a single Chief Justice will have control of the Justice Department and will review all decisions made by the Emperor, he will also enforce the laws of the TD as well a have some other minor powers. The Emperor has appointed Former EA President Ian Richardson to be that Justice. The Emperor has also made clear that all individual freedoms of the people remain intact and will be protected by the Justice.

President Jeffery Sinclair of the Earth Alliance has seized absolute power over the government dismissing the EA Senate and changing our system of government that dates back hundreds of years. He has declared himself Emperor over the former Earth Alliance now known as the Terran Dominion. It is not clear how this will affect the current laws governing the Alliance but a statement addressing this concern can be found here.
January 4, 2263: ISN has just received official confirmation from the Zener government that they have indeed recovered the body of Emperor Zent Alerian. Emperor Zent had been captured by the Drakh during a battle in which the Zener fleet was severely crippled. Details are unclear at this time, but it appears that he was killed with a type of telepathic "mind rape". Likely done by Emperor Heptharg himself after the battle's ending. This is a sad day indeed

A Transmission from the lead ship in this massive armada has been sent into the heart of Thirdspace held territory. We are not sure what it says, but apparently Thirdspace force are destroying everything of their's that cannot be taken with them and going back through the Thirdspace gate. We will keep you posted on this incredible story.
July 4, 2263: Our sources in EarthForce Intelligence have confirmed reports of a massive Thirdspace withdrawl from the warzones. It is not clear what has caused this, but EFI believes it was the massive Vorlon-Walker attack on Thirdspace Weapons Research center C'Hal. Apparently, several primary bases, staging points, and intelligence centers have been left behind relatively under defended because of the withdrawl. The President has ordered the release of these locations so that everyone can take part in the new offensive against Thirdspace. We have those locations here.
July 2, 2263: Today the Third space aliens attacked and decimated a Zener government fleet over the Zener colony Galrah 7. The Third space aliens destroyed the fleet and left the area. But not before destroying the colony on Galrah 7 itself. Early estimates point to casualties near or above 3 million dead.
July 2, 2263: Today the Third space aliens staged a daring attack on several targets on the surface in Minbari.

June 22, 2263: Today telepath Admiral Ivan Slorik lost a Thunderbolt class starfury in the Sol system today while scouting a moon named Charon, now renamed by the Drakh Nertok. The Drakh apparently detected the fighter and intercepted it. This comes at a bad time for the galaxy because of heightened tensions between the two powers over border violations. ISN hopes this will not lead to any unnecessary actions by the Drakh or Earth force.
June 16, 2263: Rumors of a peace agreement between the Drakh Empire and the Earth Alliance were confirmed moments ago when the leaders of the two powers released a statement. The terms of the agreement are unknown, but shortly after it was signed the mine field around Earth shifted to allow access by the Earth Alliance to evacuate the moon colonist. With the Third space aliens tearing through the galaxy, it's nice to have good news for a change.
June 12, 2263: Today the Drakh Emperor, along with Mortis attacked Ethan Di'ugo's fleet at his colony today. His fleet was beaten badly, and was forced to retreat to hyperspace. The Drakh, however didn't destroy the colony. A battle transcript is available here: Attack over Ishyact

June 8, 2263: We have just received information that Earth Alliance Station Babylon 4 under the command of Jeffery Sinclair has been attacked.
