"I was there at the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind. It began in the year 2257 with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations, located deep in neutral space.

"It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats and travelers from a hundred worlds. It could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risk because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. Under the leadership of it final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form, a dream of a galaxy without war, when species from different worlds could live side-by-side in mutual respect, a dream that was endangered as never before by the arrival of one man on a mission of destruction.

"Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story."

-- Ambassador Londo Mollari, "The Gathering"
