When humanity first came here, this was all space. Everyone said we were daft to build a space station way out in space were sabotage would be so easy, but we built in all the same, just to show them. It was sabotaged. So we built a second one. That was sabotaged. So we built a third. That was sabotaged. So we built a fourth. That fell through time, was evacuated, used by another race in another time, and burned up in the atmosphere of the planet it was orbiting. But the fifth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest space station in all of known space.

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

Huge... tracts of hyperspace
That's very good!
That was for very little time.
Most of the time, it was behind its time.
