Subject: 2. The Setting of Babylon 5
|
|
|
|
A hundred years ago, humanity made contact with its first alien civilization
|
|
-- or more to the point, they made contact with us. Before the arrival of the
|
|
Centauri, we were confined to our own solar system, forced to use slow sleeper
|
|
ships to explore the universe. The Centauri gave us the stars, offered us the
|
|
use of their "jumpgates" -- portals into hyperspace -- and later, taught us to
|
|
make our own. In exchange for this and other technologies, they asked only
|
|
for trinkets, novelties to sell back home.
|
|
|
|
In the eighty years that followed, humanity flexed its muscles, expanding
|
|
outward at a rapid pace. When a group of less powerful races was attacked by
|
|
an invading army, Earth came to their aid, cementing its role as a major
|
|
galactic power, if a young, brash one.
|
|
|
|
The wave of euphoria came crashing down when humanity made contact with a
|
|
mysterious race called the Minbari. The Earth-Minbari War began with a
|
|
misunderstanding, a human captain and a Minbari commander too quick on the
|
|
trigger. Thanks to bad luck or something darker, our first meeting with the
|
|
Minbari resulted in the death of their supreme religious and political leader.
|
|
To the Minbari, what followed was a holy war, vengeance for the murder of
|
|
their spiritual leader. Earth was no match for the technologically superior
|
|
Minbari, and they easily beat us back to our home planet.
|
|
|
|
Then, without explanation, as their ships closed in on Earth and wiped out our
|
|
last desperate defenses, the Minbari halted their advance and surrendered.
|
|
Only an elite few knew why.
|
|
|
|
The Babylon Project was conceived in the aftermath of the war. Modeled after
|
|
the United Nations, it would be a meeting place, neutral ground where the
|
|
powers could meet and work out their differences peacefully.
|
|
|
|
The first three Babylon stations were sabotaged in mid-construction. The
|
|
fourth was completed, but just as it was about to go online, it vanished
|
|
without a trace. The Earth government would have stopped there, but some of
|
|
the alien governments, seeing the value of a meeting ground, offered financial
|
|
assistance for the construction of a fifth station. Naturally, there were
|
|
strings attached.
|
|
|
|
Babylon 5 is the story of the last of the Babylon stations, the last hope for
|
|
a galaxy without war. It begins in the year 2257 with the opening of the
|
|
Babylon 5 station.
|
|
|
|
+ + + + +
|
|
|
|
Babylon 5 has failed in its original mission, yet has it done much more than
|
|
was intended. It was built to keep the peace, yet a great war erupted which
|
|
treated the races on Babylon 5 as pawns -- yet, with Sheridan and Delenn's
|
|
leadership, they drove the aggressors away. Not long after, the station served
|
|
as a base for taking back Earth from a totalitarian regime. And now, the
|
|
station serves as the base of a nascent Interstellar Alliance -- one which
|
|
will undergo many growing pains in the next year.

Subject: 3. The Major Players
|
|
|
|
======== a. Babylon 5 (an independent state)
|
|
|
|
Babylon 5 was an outpost operated by the Earth Allance, built with the aid of
|
|
a few alien governments. Captain Sheridan had declared independence in
|
|
mid-2260 to break away from a totalitarian Earth, but now that Earth has been
|
|
restored as a democracy, it serves as the base for a new interstellar
|
|
alliance. Its status is in limbo, but is planned to be purchased from Earth
|
|
to maintain autonomy.
|
|
|
|
======== b. The Earth Alliance
|
|
|
|
The Earth Alliance, headquartered in Geneva, has just been liberated from
|
|
martial law. Most citizens are happy to see democracy restored, but there
|
|
will likely be those loyal to the old guard who will have trouble adjusting
|
|
to the new rules. A particular hotspot is the Psi Corps, a government agency
|
|
in charge of overseeing humans with telepathic abilities. The influence of
|
|
the Psi Corps has risen tremendously in the last few years, and it is clear
|
|
to many that a conflict between telepaths and non-telepathic "mundanes" is
|
|
imminent.
|
|
|
|
======== c. The Minbari Federation
|
|
|
|
An old, highly spiritual race, the Minbari are humanoid with exterior bone
|
|
crests on their heads. Once an adversary of Earth, the Minbari Federation
|
|
sided with Babylon 5 and a coalition of many other races to fight an ancient
|
|
enemy from a thousand years ago, the Shadows.
|
|
|
|
Only a few know that Minbar and Earth have linked histories: a human,
|
|
Sinclair, the first commander of Babylon 5, traveled back in time to the
|
|
previous war against the Shadows and delivered a new base of operations,
|
|
Babylon 4, to the Minbari. Sinclair became Valen, the great Minbari spiritual
|
|
leader, builder of modern Minbari society and a prophet thanks to his knowledge
|
|
of future events. Sinclair's journey opened a doorway between Minbari and
|
|
humans, and since the last war a thousand years ago, Minbari souls have been
|
|
slowly reincarnating in human bodies. Upon discovering that, the Minbari
|
|
halted their recent war against the humans.
|
|
|
|
======== d. The Centauri Republic
|
|
|
|
The Centauri Republic, once a fading former power, has come into a precarious
|
|
situation due to the government's alliance with the Shadows in the recent
|
|
conflict. The Centauri drove them out, but it is clear that the minions of
|
|
the Shadows have intentions of getting even with the Centauri.
|
|
|
|
======== e. The Narns
|
|
|
|
Once an up and coming power, the Narn Regime was a victim of Centauri
|
|
expansionism, especially humiliating since they were unwilling subjects of the
|
|
Centauri Republic a hundred years ago and once again fell under their hand in
|
|
the recent years. Liberated again, it appears that the Centauri will leave
|
|
them alone for good. Narns have a reptilian appearance and are easily
|
|
provoked.
|
|
|
|
======== f. The Rangers
|
|
|
|
The Rangers are an "army of light," comprised of mostly Humans and Minbari,
|
|
originally formed to gather information and perform covert operations in the
|
|
war against the Shadows, they now act as the patrollers and protectors of the
|
|
fledgling Interstellar Alliance. Rangers are identified by a pin which
|
|
depicts elements of human and Minbari appearance.

Subject: 4. The Characters
|
|
|
|
======== a. Main Cast (appearing in most episodes throughout the season)
|
|
|
|
i. Humans
|
|
|
|
PRESIDENT JOHN J. SHERIDAN Bruce Boxleitner
|
|
|
|
Formerly the commander of Babylon 5, Sheridan has been elected to the
|
|
presidency of the new Interstellar Alliance. Sheridan is newly married to
|
|
Delenn, the representative of the Minbari. A strong leader, he shattered
|
|
everybody's expectations by participating in a revolution against a
|
|
totalitarian government on Earth as well as an interstellar war against the
|
|
Shadows. Because he was recently brought back from death by the galaxy's
|
|
oldest resident, he now has less than 20 years left to live.
|
|
|
|
MICHAEL ALFREDO GARIBALDI Jerry Doyle
|
|
|
|
Once in charge of security on Babylon 5, he left that post while under mental
|
|
control of the Psi Corps. Now recovered, he has taken up the position of head
|
|
of covert intelligence for the new Interstellar Alliance. Garibaldi is
|
|
something of a smart-aleck, always ready to crack a joke, but given to bouts
|
|
of self-doubt and introspection when nobody's looking.
|
|
|
|
DR. STEPHEN FRANKLIN Richard Biggs
|
|
|
|
Franklin is charge of Medlab on Babylon 5. A specialist in xenobiology (alien
|
|
biology), his background is mainly in experimental medicine, so his bedside
|
|
manner is occasionally not what it should be. His strong sense of personal
|
|
morality is at times in conflict with his duties as the chief medical provider
|
|
for aliens from hundreds of worlds and cultures, some of whom view his
|
|
obligations rather differently. He is known to operate outside the rules when
|
|
he feel the issue is important.
|
|
|
|
ii. Ambassadors
|
|
|
|
AMBASSADOR LONDO MOLLARI Peter Jurasik
|
|
|
|
The representative of the Centauri Republic, soon to become Emperor of
|
|
Centauri Prime. Stuck on an inconsequential assignment, Londo struck a
|
|
Faustian bargain with the Shadows -- new "friends" he knew nothing about --
|
|
putting the Centauri on an expansionist path that resulted in the decimation
|
|
of the Narn homeworld and bringing chaos to the region of the Galaxy near
|
|
Babylon 5, exactly what the Shadows wanted. That conflict is over, and he is
|
|
now on a slow path to redemption.
|
|
|
|
AMBASSADOR DELENN Mira Furlan
|
|
|
|
Religious, with a strong sense of fate and justice, Delenn was the Minbari
|
|
ambassador who then became the leader of the Rangers in the fight against the
|
|
Shadows. Once a member of Minbar's ruling body, the Grey Council, she lost
|
|
her position after her controversial decision to undergo a transformation that
|
|
gave her human characteristics, a transformation that has brought her very
|
|
close to Captain Sheridan, whom she has recently married. Delenn is now on
|
|
the council of the new Interstellar Alliance.
|
|
|
|
AMBASSADOR G'KAR Andreas Katsulas
|
|
|
|
The ambassador of the Narn Regime, then a fugitive when his homeworld fell to
|
|
Centauri Prime, G'Kar has become a central figure of the new interstellar
|
|
alliance. G'Kar is well-read, deeply spiritual, and extremely intelligent.
|

======== b. Supporting Characters (also in the opening credits)
|
|
|
|
iii. Ambassador assistants
|
|
|
|
VIR COTTO Stephen Furst
|
|
|
|
Diplomatic Attache to Ambassador Mollari. Having to watch Londo work with the
|
|
Shadows from the sidelines, he has grown from a naive, timid assistant to a
|
|
confident leader, though he still must operate under the shadow of Londo. Vir
|
|
served briefly as the Centauri ambassador to Minbar, and was involved in a
|
|
humanitarian effort to save Narn lives during the recent war.
|
|
|
|
LENNIER Bill Mumy
|
|
|
|
Delenn's aide, originally brought up in a monastery on the Minbari homeworld.
|
|
He reveres Delenn as an almost holy figure and feels left out now that Delenn
|
|
has married Sheridan.
|
|
|
|
iv. Humans
|
|
|
|
CAPTAIN ELIZABETH LOCHLEY Tracy Scoggins
|
|
|
|
The newly appointed commander of Babylon 5, Lochley represents Earth's
|
|
interests on the Station. Hand-picked by Sheridan to succeed him (or
|
|
Ivanova), Lochley apparently knows Sheridan from the past. Though tough and
|
|
serious while on the job, she does have a sly sense of humor.
|
|
|
|
SECURITY CHIEF ZACK ALLAN Jeff Conaway
|
|
|
|
Once Garibaldi's principal lieutenant, Zack was promoted to Chief of security
|
|
after Garibaldi resigned. He earned the trust of Sheridan and Garibaldi
|
|
when he rejected the Machiavellian organization Nightwatch, which was bent on
|
|
taking control away from the station on behalf of President Clark.
|
|
|
|
LYTA ALEXANDER Patricia Tallman
|
|
|
|
A Psi Corps telepath, the first assigned to the station, in fact. Five years
|
|
ago she scanned Ambassador Kosh, and subsequently left the Corps. Her scan
|
|
later brought her back to the station to serve as Kosh's aide. She proved
|
|
helpful in the fight against the Shadows, due to her Vorlon-enhanced telepathy.
|
|
When the original Ambassador Kosh died, she had a hard time working with his
|
|
replacement, and eventually turned on him. Finding herself alone and unable
|
|
to find work, she reluctantly re-joined the Corps after Bester approached her
|
|
with an unorthodox proposal.

|
|
|
|
LIEUTENANT DAVID CORWIN Joshua Cox
|
|
|
|
Brought up through the ranks working as a technician in C&C, Corwin is now an
|
|
executive officer working under Captain Lochley. Corwin is shy but
|
|
well-intentioned, and a loyal officer.
|
|
|
|
ALFRED BESTER Walter Koenig
|
|
|
|
A Psi-Cop, one of an elite unit of the Psi Corps whose function is to track
|
|
down rogue telepaths, among other things. A powerful figure in the Psi Corps,
|
|
perhaps in part because of his high P12 psi rating, Bester was often at odds
|
|
with Babylon 5 personnel; he recently found himself an unexpected ally of
|
|
Sheridan and the fight against the Shadows when he discovered that the woman
|
|
that he loved had been abducted by the Shadows.
|
|
|
|
LISE HAMPTON Denise Gentile
|
|
|
|
Once involved with Garibaldi when he worked on Mars, Lise has come back into
|
|
Garibaldi's life. Her second husband, a business tycoon, is dead, and she is
|
|
in charge of his corporation.
|
|
|
|
MARCUS COLE Jason Carter
|
|
|
|
Marcus was the head ranger stationed on Babylon 5 until last year, when he
|
|
sacrificed his life to save Ivanova's.
|
|
|
|
JEFFREY DAVID SINCLAIR Michael O'Hare
|
|
|
|
The commander of Babylon 5 and representative of the Earth Alliance for its
|
|
first two years of operation, Sinclair was transferred to Minbar to serve as
|
|
Earth ambassador, but covertley became the head of the Rangers. Recently,
|
|
Sinclair took Babylon 4 back through time to aide the Minbari in their war
|
|
against the Shadows of 1000 years ago; in doing so, he used the same
|
|
device that had transformed Delenn in order to attain Minbari appearance, and
|
|
in doing so, became Valen, Minbar's great spiritual leader who formed the
|
|
Grey Council.
|
|
|
|
DRAAL John Schuck
|
|
|
|
The steward of the vast machinery below on Epsilon 3. He is a Minbari who was
|
|
looking for a new purpose in life when he heeded the call to become caretaker
|
|
of the planet. He has offered his services in the Shadow War, though Sheridan
|
|
has kept Draal as his 'ace in the hole' so far.

|
|

|
|
| 3. It contains no spoilers for |

|
|
+-----------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
Babylon 5, a space station constructed with the hope of keeping the various
|
|
races in the galaxy at peace, seems to function as it should for a while.
|
|
In the first year of its operation, the station's Commander Sinclair
|
|
discovers that he had been captured and interrogated in the Earth-Minbari
|
|
war of a decade ago, only to have his memory erased for unknown reasons.
|
|
The crew of B5 discover that the barren world below them is actually
|
|
housing a vast underground complex of machinery, and the mystery of the
|
|
disappearance of Babylon 4 is partly revealed: it had been taken through
|
|
time by unknown forces to assist in a war in an unknown place and time.
|
|
Behind the scenes, an ancient race, known only as The Shadows, is building
|
|
its forces. Through Morden, a Human intermediary, the Shadows subtly begin
|
|
working their influence on the galaxy by capitalizing on the desires of
|
|
Centauri ambassador Londo Mollari to rebuild his fading empire. Londo lets
|
|
his benefactors assist him by destroying a Narn outpost, thus reigniting
|
|
conflict with the Narn Government. On that same day, the President of the
|
|
Earth Alliance is killed in an explosion that few realize is really an
|
|
assassination, and Delenn, the Minbari ambassador, activates a machine that
|
|
will cause her to physically transform.
|
|
|
|
Days later, the original commander of the station, Sinclair, is reassigned,
|
|
and Captain Sheridan takes command, unaware of the existance of the
|
|
Shadows. The mystery of the Minbari surrender is finally revealed: The
|
|
Minbari discovered that Minbari souls were being reborn in humans. Delenn
|
|
emerges from a cocoon to appear nearly human; she claims she has done so to
|
|
promote peace between the Humans and the Minbari. The situation on Earth
|
|
is getting worse; covert forces are working in the background and the
|
|
"Night Watch" program is stomping down on dissidents; meanwhile, Sheridan
|
|
reveals that he is part of an underground movement to gain control back
|
|
from the corrupted government; he brings his trusted officers into the
|
|
fold. On the eve of an historic speech that would have brought peace
|
|
between the Narn and Centauri, Londo calls upon his unknown agents to
|
|
attack a major Narn colony, starting a war. Ambassadors Kosh and Delenn
|
|
reveal the existance of the Shadows behind the Centauri brutality; Sheridan
|
|
is enlisted to help in an upcoming war against them; he takes it personally
|
|
when he learns that the Shadows were likely responsible for the death of
|
|
his wife five years ago when she travelled to a planet called Z'ha'dum.
|
|
The Centauri, with the aid of the Shadows, terminate the war with the Narn
|
|
decisively by bombing the Narn homeworld "into the stone ages." The
|
|
Centauri soon begin annexing other worlds; the enigmatic Ambassador Kosh
|
|
finally reveals himself, revealing that Vorlons appear to most races as
|
|
angels; and a shadow ship has been caught on camera, undoing the secrecy
|
|
that the Shadows had been maintaining. The Great War is begun.
|
|
|
|
The Minbari give Sheridan a powerful new ship, the White Star, to command
|
|
in the upcoming fight against the Shadows. Further corruption in Earth
|
|
government is revealed when it is learned that the Shadows have been
|
|
cooperating with certain individuals in government. The Earth alliance
|
|
plunges into civil war as martial law is declared back home; Sheridan is
|
|
forced to secede from Earth and is only able to keep the forces at bay with
|
|
the help of the Minbari. The Shadows begin attacking openly (and seemingly
|
|
randomly); Sheridan builds an alliance among the many races by enlisting
|
|
the help of the Vorlons, an act which results in the death of Ambassador
|
|
Kosh. Sinclair returns to the station with a message from the past; with
|
|
the help of the machinery on the planet below, The White Star takes Babylon
|
|
4 through time to assist in a war against the Shadows of 1000 years ago.
|
|
Londo continues his ascension to power in the Centauri government, removing
|
|
his political rival. Using a discovery that telepaths interfere with the
|
|
functionality of Shadow Ships, Sheridan and Delenn organize their alliance
|
|
in to a preemptive strike against the Shadows, celebrating a difficult
|
|
victory. Sheridan's wife appears, returning from Z'ha'dum, the homeworld
|
|
of the Shadows, and attempts to convince Sheridan that the Shadows really
|
|
aren't the bad guys; Sheridan rejects her plea when he discovers that her
|
|
personality has been altered; instead, he rigs the White Star to crash onto
|
|
and detonate a bomb on Z'ha'dum; Hearing the advice of Ambassador Kosh in
|
|
his head, Sheridan jumps into an abyss below him just before the explosion;
|
|
he is presumed dead. Immediately after the explosion, the shadow ships
|
|
that had been threatening B5 dissapear, possibly returning home; one of the
|
|
ships seems to have taken Garibaldi along with it.
|
|
|
|
Sheridan finds himself at death's door and finds the galaxy's oldest resident,
|
|
Lorien, there to guide him back to life. Londo returns home to find that the
|
|
new Centauri emporor is dangerously insane, planning on the destruction of
|
|
Centauri Prime. G'Kar, searching for Garibaldi, is captured by the Centauri
|
|
and tortured. Garibaldi is found, but is acting peculiarly and soon resigns.
|
|
Ivanova and Marcus discover that the Vorlons are gathering to battle the
|
|
Shadows directly; Sheridan and Lorien battle with the new Vorlon ambassador.
|
|
The Army of light begins a battle with the Shadows and the Vorlons; the war
|
|
comes to an abrupt end when those races find that they cannot get the younger
|
|
races to choose their way. Londo assassinates the Emperor, detroys the Shadow
|
|
base on Centauri prime, and withdraws from Narn. With the Shadows gone,
|
|
President Clark on Earth launches a plan to recapture Babylon 5. Garibaldi
|
|
comes upon a plan by a tycoon on Mars to control the telepaths, but then
|
|
discovers he has been a pawn of the Psi Corps as they eliminate that problem.
|
|
Civil war erupts on Minbar; Delenn and Neroon, a warrior caste member, manage
|
|
to bring the war to an end. Sheridan undertakes a campaign to recapture
|
|
Earth, starting first with the outer colonies and working inward. Sheridan is
|
|
captured by Clark's forces, and tortured. Ivanova leads a rescue, and
|
|
Sheridan's forces finally liberate Earth, mortally wounding Ivanova. Using an
|
|
ancient healing machine, Marcus saves Ivanova's life but dies in the process.
|
|
Delenn, Londo, and G'Kar found an Interstellar Alliance, and Sheridan is
|
|
elected President.
