It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped 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 the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

S01E22 Chrysalis


Negotiations between the Narn and Centauri over territorial claims to Quadrant 37 are getting nowhere, and it looks like G'Kar has the upper hand on Londo. Morden, the elusive man who once asked Londo and G'Kar what they wanted, appears out of nowhere and offers Londo the opportunity to take credit for a solution to the Quadrant 37 problem that will tip the scales in the Centauri's favor, a solution which Morden and his unspecified associates will provide at no cost.

Garibaldi follows a tenuous trail of clues to a man named Devereaux, who warns that the security chief is getting into something too big for him. As it turns out, this is true - Garibaldi discovers evidence that Devereaux may be an Earthforce special agent, and finally stumbles across a plot to assassinate the president of the Earth Alliance. He pays for this discovery dearly when one of the conspirators, Garibaldi's trusted friend and second-in-command of B5 Security, shoots him on the back.

The Shadows are cast upon Quadrant 37, utterly annihilating every trace of the Narn presence there in mere seconds.
Delenn goes to Sinclair to discuss at last the Battle of the Line and his capture, but his priority must be to find Garibaldi. Delenn is risking her life and Sinclair's to reveal the mystery to him, and warns that she has little time left.
Garibaldi, dying, warns of the plot to kill the president, but his warning is too late, and Earthforce One is destroyed and Vice President Clark is sworn in as president hours later. All this takes place against the backdrop of new years eve 2258.
