The Psi Corps, however, had managed to plant a homing beacon inside. Days later, the Shadows sent a second ship to retrieve the first one. When Earthforce crews uncovered it, they reactivated an ancient beacon. One of their ships had been hidden on Mars. They also began to recall some of the ships that they had hidden throughout the galaxy after the War. One thousand years later, during the Babylon Project's early days, the Shadows returned. Some of their race managed to remain, but were in a state of hibernation. The last time the Shadows would be driven from the planet would be at the end of the First Shadow War, in roughly the thirteenth century A.D. This was due to the presence of Lorien, one of the First Ones, who lived in a deep chasm on the planet for over one million years. It is unknown if Z'ha'dum was the home world of the Shadows as a species, but for most of their long history they considered it their home. When they returned at the Dawning of the Third Age, their cities were kept mostly underground. Its surface was marred by the many attacks that drove the Shadows away from the planet eon after eon.
Shadow speech sounds like a dynamic screeching that can be understood by their thralls, such as Morden, Anna Sheridan and Justin, through an implantīy the twenty-third century, Z'ha'dum was a blasted, charred wasteland. Shadows, like Vorlons, have evolved into beings of light, but unlike them prefer to assume material form. They can however sometimes be seen as figures of static in the upper end of the infrared spectrum.
The Shadows are insectoid hexapeds that resemble a cross between an Earth spider and praying mantis with a small triangular head and seven pairs of pinpoint eyes in two stacked rows (3 above, 4 below.) Externally, they're colored in shades of dark purple and black and posses the ability to cloak themselves from most visible wavelengths.
