Well, they all could've died.

Neither situation relied on introducing new technology, only on
taking advantage of what's known currently. It's a simple equation:
ship A is more powerful than ship B. In a head-to-head situation, ship
A (shadow) will destroy ship B (white star). If you can't directly
confront a stronger enemy, you have to find some way to work around it,
outsmart it. (And fortunately, this one was flawed, "insane," as
Delenn put it.)

And the minbari know more than they're saying. But then that's
generally true of them.

And yes, the shadow ship arrived with a new "core" for the
buried ship.
