Summary
At the end of the third book of the Psi Corps Trilogy (a 100% canon series according to JMS), Bester faces a war crimes trial in The Hague, and is convicted. This project stands as Bester's defense: legally, socially and historically. By providing readers with the "rest of the story," with a nuanced (and not "one-sided") presentation of facts and events, I demonstrate that canon is misleading, and the truth is not as it seems.
Readers who are interested in world-building may especially appreciate this project.
Knowledge of the (canon) Psi Corps Trilogy is not necessary to understand this project, but it's helpful because I refer to the books often, and do some major fix-it work. (Face it, they need it, especially that mess called Dark Genesis.)

Summary
The second half of Deadly Relations told you part of the story. The Shadow Within told you part of the story. The Passing of the Technomages told you part of the story. Phoenix Rising told you part of the story. And part of the story was missing entirely.
Here is the ENTIRE story about what Bester, Byron, Donne and even Morden were doing in 2256, about a year before the show began - everything in one place and explained, with nothing omitted.
* What Bester did in the Earth-Minbari War
* Donne's backstory
* What Morden was up to before the Shadows got him
* Captain Hidalgo's backstory
* What really happened between Bester and ByronJMS definitely does not want you to read this book.
This work is rated M for mature/dark themes, grittiness, language, and because lots of characters die (but given the subject matter you probably knew that). No canon characters die in this work unless they also die here in canon (e.g. on the Icarus).
This work contains no smut or sexual interactions between characters, and the depictions of violence are no more graphic than in canon. There is mild nudity.
(I cannot stop the kudos bots.)

Canon Reference List of All the Times Normals Kill Telepaths by pallasite

Summary
I've compiled the Big Ass List of Examples of canon abuse of telepaths, by normals, over 150 years. This list only includes what is directly mentioned or shown, and does not include the Telepath War itself.
The same list can be found in my prior post here, where I dissect a JMS Usenet post and respond with a discussion of the canon history and the legal framework by which telepaths are "regulated".
I am presently working on a novella focusing on just the events of 2156 - the year the Centauri arrived and made first contact, and the year the Corps (as such) was formed. This is one of the most eventful six-month periods in canon, but it somehow only gets a few pages and some indirect references later on. You deserve the full book.
