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.

It was the end of the earth year 2259 and the war was upon us. As anticipated a few days after the earth-centauri treaty was announced the centauri widened their war to include many of the non-aligned worlds. And there was another war brewing closer at home. A personal one whose cost would be higher than any of us could imagine. We came to this place, because Babylon5 was our last, best hope for peace. By the end of 2259 we knew that it had failed. But in some doing it became something greater. As the war expanded it became our last, best hope for victory. Because sometimes peace is another word for surrender, and because secrets have a way of getting out.

Das Projekt Babylon war unsere letzte und einzige Hoffnung auf Frieden. Eine fuenf Meilen lange Raumstation in einem neutralen Sektor. Eine Welt des Handels und der Diplomatie fuer eine viertelmillion Menschen und Ausser- irdische. Ein strahlendes Leuchtfeuer einsam in der Dunkelheit des Alls. Es war der Beginn des dritten Zeitalters der Menschheit. Das Jahr in dem fuer uns alle der grosse Krieg begann. Dies ist die Geschichte der letzten grossen Weltraumstation. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2259. Der Name der Station: Babylon 5.
