Actually if there isn't already a lurker in the group I'd like to play one as a Brakiri.
Otherwise, I'll just take up the ranger.

Sure!
As Blackrat says, there's Jemals's old ranger character Kevin who could use a player. We're coming to the end of one adventure so there's probably not a place to insert a new character right now, but it might still be a while in real time before the sequence finishes.
You could take up Kevin for now, and if you'd prefer your own character, create one to introduce when the time is right. I won't give you the background fluff here, look to the first posts of this thread and the IC thread (these, plus the rogues gallery are in my sig). The group could predominantly use either muscle or a sneak.
Edit: You posted ^ while I was still writing this. Brakiri lurker is probably okay, if you can fit one into the background. Assuming that the Outrageous Fortune and her crew make it out of this current situation, they'll next be on an Abbai space station to rendezvous for their next assignment. Or, perhaps, they've got a stowaway?

So, a Brakiri lurker would be a shoe in. I'm going to be busy over the weekend, so I'll start work on the character on Monday.
EDIT: Having never played Bab 5 before and wanting minimal headaches, I'll go with a human lurker. She'll be a stowaway.

A couple of extra combat rules that may be of interest in your current situation:
Aiming:
You can take a full round action aiming to get a +2 attack bonus with ranged weapons. You can continue this for up to 3 rounds (for a maximum of +6). You can take your shot at the end of an aiming action, as part of the same action (i.e. minimum is a full round for one attack at +2). You need to make a Concentration check or lose all your accumulated bonus if you suffer anythign that normally requires a Concentration check (damage, movement etc.).
Burst Fire:
If using a weapon with the Automatic or Rapid Fire traits, you can use burst fire. You make three attacks in place of one, against a single target, but each suffers a -6 penalty to the attack roll. (obviously you need 3 charges of ammo or more). For the drazi that tried this against Kevin, I don't think the dice gave me anything over a 7.

Looking over the feats and mulling over my character's background I've decided that at some point in her past she was trained in the ways of the Centauri. She is able to use an Agony Whip (Exotic Wpn Prof), is fluent in Centauri (Fluency: Centauri) and has exposed herself to things that a Centuri would (Great Fortitude - Lurker Downbelow feat [There is little that can be done to a Centauri that they have not already done to themselves.]).
Centauri have the racial trait Born to Intrigue which, to my character has rubbed off on her for her entry into the Lurker class. Perhaps herr birth parents were raiders and their ship destroyed by Centauri,my character survived by geeting into a life pod. She was found by a sensor sweep and Centauri didn't want to kill a child, so they took the orphan back to Centauri prime (or whichever appropriate planet), and was eventually adopted and raised by a Centauri woman.

That would work. I'm not sure how she'd end up teaming with a group of covert ISA operatives working on the fringes of League space, I'll leave that up to you 
. (Edit, reread ^, stowaway, gotcha!) Don't forget that the Centauri also use slaves - perhaps she started life as slave to some noble house.
Also of note, the game takes place during the Crusade era when Emperor Londo Mollari is on the throne, the Centauri are fairly isolationist and Centauri Prime is under a sinister dark cloud.... However, life for the typical Centauri would probably go on as usual, and the affable Vir Cotto is ambassador to B5.

Sorry, increased workload. I have to reduce my games on ENWorld. I fear I will not be able to play Vurk further. Sorry again.
