When is babylon 5 set

Later in the night, Lenonn finds six aides in his room who lead him silently to a spot where they are taken to the Cruiser of the Council. Dukhat calls him to the center of the Council's chamber. Luc interrupts Mollari's story, wondering when the battle will start. Mollari insists this leads to the War, and a terrible truth: the blood of those who died is on his hands. Refa humbly says Mollari cannot hold himself accountable, but Mollari says he is aware of what he did.

Lenonn recounts Valen's prophecy and says the time is almost upon them. He is tired of being marginalized and mocked even by some on the Council. Dukhat notes that the prophecy also stated that the Rangers will arise, so why not wait for that before asking the worker and warrior castes to commit resources. Indeed, Lenonn can only say he believes this to be true, but also adds that they should ally with the Vorlons.

Coplann takes off his hood and interrupts — a dozen ships have tried and been lost when entering Vorlon space. Since they know the prophecy as well, why not wait for something to believe in. At this point, Delenn reveals herself and suggests this proof could be obtained by going to Z'ha'dum , thus verifying whether the Shadows truly have returned. Coplann objects to risking more warriors on the journey, and Dukhat agrees — he decides he and Delenn themselves will make the trip.

As Dukhat and Delenn leave the chamber, she notes on both Lenonn and Coplann being right. Dukhat achnowledges her, and leaves to meditate. In his chamber, Kosh appears. Dukhat notes that it will begin, whereupon Kosh agrees. Sheridan announce his misgivings, as the ship's captain, Michael Jankowski , has had trouble with first contact situations before, and he feels like he needs to continue serving his current captain, Roger Sterns.

Lefcourt insists this would not be a good career move and that Jankowski was cleared, but which Sheridan persist in his refusal, leaving Lefcourt to ultimately give it up. In hyperspace , Delenn notes an unusually risky cargo transport to the ship and confronts the pilot.

He does not know much, only that on the life support equipment and that he acted under Dukhat's orders. Dukhat himself comes around the corner, politely admonishing her for looking into details.

Delenn attempts to get him to admit there is a Vorlon on board, but won't let on anything. The Prometheus comes out of hyperspace and its XO discover the silhouettes of the Minbari ships outside Minbari space. Despite his objections that they are to avoid first contact, Jankowski is determined to get the information they came for and orders the ship to move closer. Meanwhile, Delenn is undergoing a ritual to formally become a member of the Grey Council.

Dukhat leads her alone into the Council chamber and holds a triluminary to her, glowing and surprising the other Council member nearby. After the ritual, Morann tells the other members that they detected human ships, but choose not to inform Dukhat until they know more. They change course toward them, which prompts Jankowski to order his ship to leave, but they cannot start their jump engines.

Dukhat is finally informed and is more wrought up by the omission of mentioning the presence of the aliens and that the Minbari vessels are approaching them with their gun ports open. Soon enough, he believes the disruption of their ship's communications and engine is indeed a hostile intent promping Jankowski to panick and order the ship to open fire.

The Minbari ship is taken by surprise and Dukhat is mortally wounded. He speaks to Delenn and then dies beside her. The Council is divided about retaliating or assessing the situation, and a furious Delenn casts the deciding vote — The Minbari will go to war with the Humans.

General Lefcourt addresses a large crowd of EA officers on their military situation beside General Fontaine. The Minbari are systematically destroying military targets and leaving civilian ones alone, presumably saving them for later since they have a warrior caste. Fontaine believes they are dedicated to wiping all Humans out, and notes their stealth technology still give them a huge advantage in engagements, making them impossible to lock onto.

They need any victory at all to boost morale. As the crowd dismisses, Sheridan and Sterns talk. Sheridan believes any ship can be beaten. Sterns recommends Sheridan visit his family while the Lexington is fully outfitted, but Sheridan wants to stay.

In a fighter bay, Ganya Ivanov gets a visit from his sister, Susan. She is very worried about him, but Ganya is tells her not to. She tells him she has decided to sign up for Earthforce , which worries him as their father will not allow it. Susan expected such reaction, but she's determined. She makes Ganya take one of her earrings as good luck charm, expecting him to return it to her when he makes it back. Mollari is approached by Hastur and asked for strategic support and weapons.

Mollari refuses, not wanting to incur retaliation on the Centauri Republic. Hastur then goes into an office and meets G'Kar, who had predicted Mollari's response. He is happy to make a deal, as the Narn have captured and studied Centauri weapons and doesn't fear retaliation since the Minbari would assume it was the Centauri.

G'Kar negotiates a higher price due to the devaluation of Earth currency, due to the war. Morann meets Lenonn and Delenn to inform them of the falling of three more deep-range Human colonies. Delenn is unresponsive, and Morann challenges her lack of commitment. She notes the Humans do not have a chance to oppose them, and that it has gone beyond their thirst for retribution at this point. Lenonn chimes in, wondering why the warrior caste is so enthusiastic about the War.

Morann says they're a tangible enemy, unlike those the Anla'Shok have been warning of for centuries. Lenonn, however, notes this is an easy war and an easy victory for them. Morann questions Lenonn's loyalty, which prompts Delenn to demand he leave at once.

After he goes, Lenonn apologizes for the heated exchange and suggests she go to Dukhat's private chamber as soon as she can. There, Delenn is shocked to find Kosh and Ulkesh though they do not introduce themselves. She timidly asks if they are Vorlon and asks their name, to which only Kosh responds with his name. Delenn is shown a posthumous message of Dukhat, revealing his knowledge of the Vorlons' presence, their intention to help them, and that they must find the Humans and make them allies.

He knew the Shadows were gathering and he insists whoever views his message finish what he started. Then, Lenonn appears, declaring they must stop the War and spare the Humans.

Stephen Franklin is introducing a number of officers to a new medical facility when General Fontaine interrupts, clearly angered at something. Deadline reports that the new series, which will be written and executive-produced by Straczynski, will be a "from-the-ground-up reboot" of the Emmy Award-winning s series, which was one of the few series at the time to feature a defined story arc across its five-season run between and Babylon 5 is set between and , with the reboot set to focus on John Sheridan, an Earthforce officer with a mysterious past.
