The Adv. Omega-X Destroyer is a byproduct of the Earth Civil War. The Omega-X Destroyer is a step between the Omega Destroyer and the Warlock Destroyer. Originally these ships were only used for testing new devices like weapons and armor, but when Sheridan gained more power, Clark couldn't effort to spend even more time and resources on the Warlock Destroyer. He needed new ships that were able to fight and win against Sheridan's WhiteStar fleet and so the Omega-X was born.


The destroyer is equipped with a simplified Shadow Bio-armor and fusion beam weapon. The engine systems and the overall design are still conventional technology known from the Omega Destroyer.
About 20 of these ships went into battle against the WhiteStar fleet in 2261. In their previous battles against loyalist Earth Alliance forces, the WhiteStar fleet had no major problems in winning the fight. The WhiteStar ships were faster, better armed and had better defense systems but this time the enemy was at least equal. The WhiteStar laser shots only slightly damaged the hull and the weapons of the destroyer were able to destroy a WhiteStar vessel with a single hit.
Many WhiteStar-Class vessels were destroyed in this battle. Their only advantage and trump card was the extreme agility. They outmaneuvered the destroyers and finally managed to destroy all Omega-X Advanced Destroyers but a high price was paid for this victory. Many WhiteStars had been destroyed or disabled and Lt. Cmdr. Ivanova was hurt mortally during this battle. She only survived because Ranger Marcus Cole gave his life for hers.

"Commander Sinclair is being reassigned" "Why don't you eliminate the entire Narn homeworld while you are at it." "I see a great hand reaching out of the stars" "Who are you?"

Babylon 5 needed a new captain after John Sheridan became President of the new "Interstellar Alliance" . Sheridan chose Earth Force Captain Elisabeth Lochley as successor.


Shortly after that some telepaths arrived at Babylon 5. They sought for help and Sheridan agreed to establish a telepath colony on Babylon 5 knowing that there'll be a war between telepaths and "normal" humans in the future.

Meanwhile an assassin tried to kill President Sheridan. His first try failed because one of the telepaths found out about his plans. During the swearing-in ceremony he stole a Starfury and tried to kill Sheridan from the outside of the station. This time Sheridan was rescued by Michael Garibaldi.
After all problems had been solved Sheridan's inauguration started with a declaration that had been written by G'Kar.
"Whoever speaks for the alliance, speaks with one voice for many. Consequently, this contains the first page of every holy book of every race that has joined the alliance. Whoever speaks for the alliance does so with the understanding that it is the inalienable right of every sentient being to live free. To purser their dreams. To address wrongs within their own society without the fear of retribution. To believe as their consequence requires in matters of faith, but to also to respect the rights of other to believe differently or not at all."

"It was the year of fire; the year of destruction; the year we took back what was ours; it was the year of rebirth; the year of great sadness; the year of pain; the year of joy; it was a new age; it was the end of history; it was the year everything changed; the year is 2261, the place : Babylon 5"
- various actors; opening Narrative, Season 4
The Shadows stopped their attacks at other races after the tremendous explosion an Z'Ha'Dum. The explosion caused by the 2 fusion bombs on board the White-Star destroyed the biggest city and the headquarters of the Shadows.


It was uncertain what happened to Capt. Sheridan and Security Chief Michael Garibaldi. Most of the alien ambassadors thought they were both dead. With the HQ of the Shadows destroyed the ambassadors believed that the war against the Shadows was over. They ordered their battle ships to leave Babylon 5 and return to their homeworlds.
G'Kar began his search for Mr. Garibaldi while Delenn tried to convince Vorlon Ambassador Kosh to sent a search ship to Z'Ha'Dum. Kosh denied her request and so Delenn, Ivanova, Lenier and Lyta Alexander went to Z'Ha'Dum to search for Capt. Sheridan.
"The Shadows have paused in their pursuit of war and everywhere there is a sense of eminent change. Whether it is a change for good or ill no one can tell, because no one has yet answered two important questions: Where is Mr. Garibaldi and what happened to Capt. Sheridan at Z'Ha'Dum?"
Some moments after the White-Star left hyperspace they were "attacked" by "The Eye". The Eye is some kind of defense system of Z'Ha'Dum. It appeared to be able to telepathically contact normals, probing their minds and drawing them to the planet. The autopilot of the White-Star entered hyperspace before they could land on the planet.


Meanwhile Morden arrived at Centauri Prime He suffered some major injuries caused by the explosion on Z'Ha'Dum. Morden made a deal with Centauri Emperor Cartagia. The Shadows thought that they were vulnerable with their HQ destroyed. They wanted to shelter some of their ships at Centauri Prime in case that someone attacked Z'Ha'Dum while they were weak. Cartagia agreed and so the Shadows got an island. Londo's biggest nightmare had come true.


G'Kar has been captured by the Centauri while searching for Michael Garibaldi. Londo offered a deal to G'Kar. If G'kar would kill Emperor Cartagia Londo Molari promised that all Centauri would leave Narn and that all Narn would be free again. G'Kar agreed this deal.

The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace... it failed. In the year of The Shadow War it became something greater, our last best hope... for victory. The year is 2260, the place: Babylon 5."
- Commander Susan Ivanova, 2260 opening narrative
In early 2260 the new founded Army of Light received a new ship. The new ship is called White-Star and is a combination of Minbari and Vorlon technology. Capt. Sheridan became the commander of the ship and proofed its capability in several battle against Shadow forces.


"This is the White Star the departing ship, I just want to say I appreciate your response and I fully understand. The Vorlons said that you wouldn't be up for a fight like this. In fact, they said in the last War, they carried you and did most of the work, while you took most of the credit for it. They said that if you got involved in this one, you'd just get hurt. Come to think of it, we've got the Vorlons, we don't need much more help do we? I mean the Vorlons are really, pretty close to perfect, aren't they? And strong?" 'Vorlon che'gu dom'chog.' "Yeah well, whatever. Listen I'll be sure and give them your message as soon as I get back. In the mean time, you have a nice flight. We'll be sure and send you a message as soon as the fighting is over, so you can come back out again."
- Ivanova and The Walkers, "Voices Of Authority"
Finally the Walkers agreed to help the Army of Light. There seemed to be some kind of conflict between the Walkers and the Vorlons.

The situation on earth became more violent from day to day when the earth senate found proofs that Clark was involved in the death of former President Luis Stantigao. Clark dissolved the senate and declared martial law on earth and the colonies. When the colonies at Mars, Proxima III and Orion VII refused to declare martial law, Morgan Clark ordered to bomb the Mars colony


The beginning of the Earth-Civil-War
Babylon 5 now became the "official" head quarters of the Army of Light The station was protected by many alien races against Earth Alliance or other attacks but without money and resupply from earth a hard time began.


In mid 2260 the war against the Shadows was going bad. Some alien races thought that they could handle the conflict with the Shadows better alone and left the Army of Light. Others didn't want to join the AOL because they were afraid of Shadow attacks and so Sheridan needed a great victory against the Shadows to unite the races.

In autumn of 2260 Draal created time rift with the Machine to steal Babylon 4 . He said that if Babylon 4 didn't become the replacement of the destroyed headquarters in a war against the Shadows, the Shadows would be to strong to beat. With the help of Zathras, a kind of engineer of the Great Machine, and former Babylon 5 commander Jeffrey Sinclair, Babylon 4 was taken back in time.


All except Jeffrey Sinclair left Babylon 4 before the station finally disappeared. During the travel back in time Sinclair transformed himself into somewhat half Human and half Minbari. He was accompanied by two Vorlons when he arrived back in time . With the new station the alliance finally managed to beat the Shadows.

Meanwhile the Vorlons sent a new ambassador to Babylon 5. His name is also Kosh but he's another kind of personality. While the old Kosh cared about the younger races the new one seemed to be quite uninterested in them.
In late 2260 Capt. Sheridan heard of a plan of the Shadows to attack and destroy a very large fleet of refugee ships. The Shadows have driven them into one sector of space. Sheridan and Delenn organized a very big fleet. All races sent some of the ships that they didn't need.


The great battle against the Shadows
The Shadows now knew that Babylon 5 and Sheridan were the main actors against them. They removed Sheridan's wife, Anna Sheridan, from one of their cruisers and sent her to Babylon 5.

The Shadows wanted to convince Sheridan of their position but Sheridan didn't agreed to that. Before they could kill Sheridan he killed a Shadow and escaped the room. Sheridan got to a huge underground city and was trapped by some Shadows.

He commanded the White-Star to crash down to this city. When the White-Star hit the ground the city was destroyed in a huge explosion caused by two fusion bombs on board the ship.Before this Sheridan jumped into a pit that he saw on the ground.


"It was the end of the Earth year 2260 and the war had paused suddenly and unexpectedly. All around us it was as if the universe were holding its breath, waiting. All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or moments of revelation. This had the feeling of both."
- Citizen G'Kar's closing statement, 2260, "Z'Ha'Dum"

"The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind...the year the Great War came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259. The name of the place is Babylon 5."
- Capt. John Sheridan's opening narrative, 2259
Cmdr. Sinclair became the first Human ambassador on Minbar. Capt. John Sheridan, commander of the Omega-Class-Destroyer Agamemnon, became the replacement for Sinclair. He was directly chosen by Vice-president Morgan Clark. Clark hoped that the hero of the Earth-Minbari-War would follow a more pro-human and anti-alien policy. This later appeared to be totally wrong when Sheridan turned against the Earth-Alliance .

G'Kar got new proofs for his theory that an old and powerful enemy was back on the scene when a so called "sleeper ship" arrived at Babylon 5 . These ships have been sent out a few hundred years ago when no hyperspace travel had been developed. Two scientists along with a Shadow warrior were sleeping in cryo-stasis. The Shadow warrior entered the ship somewhere on the journey and wanted to get back to the "meeting point" with other Shadows . He was finally killed in a gunfight.

The conflicts between the Narn and Centauri became more violent. During a visit of an ISN-Team a Narn-Freighter attacked a Centauri-Freighter . The Narn accused the Centauri to smuggle illegal mass-destruction weapons with their ships. The Centauri demanded the hand over of their ships and sent a battleruiser to Babylon 5. When a Narn-Cruiser arrived it came to a fight in which both cruiser were destroyed.

The conflict escalated when the damaged Narn Heavy Cruiser G'Tok sought help at Babylon 5. Earth just concluded a nonaggression treaty with the Centauri and so Capt. Sheridan was in a unhappy position. The Centauri wanted the hand-over of the Narn-Cruiser but Sheridan decided to help the Narn. Suddenly a Centauri cruiser appeared in Babylon 5 space and began targeting the Narn cruiser and Babylon 5 itself.

"I was there at the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind. It began in the Earth 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 its 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 Molari's opening narrative, "The Gathering"
Nearly all races decided to send ambassadors to the station to support the dream of peace and unity shortly after Babylon 5 went online Even the very mysterious Vorlon Empire sent an ambassador but not all people believed that a common space station could solve all problems between the races, some even wanted to sabotage the station.


One of them was Del Varner. He smuggled a changeling net on the station. A member of the Minbari warrior cast used this changeling net to change his shape into that of Cmdr. Jeffrey Sinclair, the commander of Babylon 5. The Minbari poisoned the Vorlon ambassador at his arrival at Babylon 5.

After a scan from Lyta Alexander, the telepath assigned to Babylon 5, all thought that Cmdr. Sinclair was the assassin. The Vorlons sent a small fleet to get Sinclair. Sinclair meanwhile tracked down the traitor and transmitted the confession of the Minbari to the Vorlon fleet. The Minbari assassin committed suicide just after his confession.

These describe the style in which one scene becomes the next. Used appropriately, these can be used to convey shifts in character development and emotion. In other words, a CUT TO: is not required at every scene change. Some major transitions include CUT TO:, DISSOLVE TO:, MATCH CUT TO:, JUMP CUT TO:, SMASH CUT TO:, WIPE TO:, and FADE TO:. Each term has it's own entry in this list of terms. Occasionally a writer will make up his own transition. In these cases, the transition is usually self-defined (such as BRIGHT WHITE FLASH TO: suggests whiteness will fill the screen for a brief moment as we pass into the next scene). For formatting info on transitions, see the Format page

Voice Over. This is the abbreviation sometimes seen next to the CHARACTER'S name before certain bits of dialog. This means the character voices that dialog but his or her moving lips are not present in the scene. Voice over is generally used for narration, such as in the beginning of The Mummy. Or, as Austin Powers would say, a character's inner monolog. The inner thought processes of the character said out loud such that only the audience will hear it. An general example of Voice Over can be seen (heard, actually) in Election or in the Sixth Season Finale of The X-Files.
