I have looked through all the posts, but I apologize it this has been put forward before:
We know the Warlock has Gravititic Drives, we also know that the Warlock was already constructed before the ISA was proposed. As such, the tech couldn't have been handed over from the ISA at that time.
Now we could conclude that the tech is from the Shadows (we know they had a hybrid ship based on shadow tech) but Tim Earls stated that it is Minbari designs with human tech.
But what if EA Gravititic engines where reversed engineered from tech salvaged from the Earth-Minbari War? This explains why the Warlock still needs conventional engines as well as the Gravititic drives and why Delenn still offered the tech to the EA President. The reverse engineered tech is still not powerful enough to be useful on its own, so receiving tech from the ISA would still be a significant leap forward.
Comments?
