The Babylon Project was conceived and implemented by the
Earth Alliance immediately following the Earth/Minbari War. Its purpose was
to avoid future wars by providing a place where humans and aliens could work
out their differences peacefully and avoid future misunderstandings.
The first three attempts at building a Babylon station met with disaster as sabotage by unknown forces destroyed them early in their construction. With Babylon 4, the Earth Alliance built a huge station - only to have it disappear 24 hours after coming online. The station was considered lost, and one final attempt to create a Babylon station was made, on a minimal budget, funded partially by the Minbari Federation - Babylon 5.

as well as conventions organised in association with Wolf 359.
Sponsored by Time Warner Entertainment Co., the official Babylon 5 site hosts a number
of features including cast bios, a chat area and lots of images. Current highlights are
a tour the Medlab and the Observation Dome in Quicktime VR, a picture of the
Hugo Award-winning team responsible for producing The Coming of Shadows!,
a trivia area to test your knowledge of the B5 universe and the
