It has been nearly fifteen years since the Earth-Minbari war brought the humans to their knees and inspired the Babylon Project. Its goal: to prevent another interstellar war by creating a place for humans and aliens to work out their differences peacefully. The idea was given form in the Babylon stations, located in neutral space. The first station was destroyed when its infrastructure collapsed; the second was sabotaged; the third blew up; and Babylon 4 mysteriously vanished without a trace.
The Babylon 5 Space Combar Simulator begins on the third anniversary of the Interstellar Alliance—two years after the end of Season 5. Aside from one brief conflict with the Centauri Republic early in its first year, ISA president John Sheridan has delivered on his promise to keep the peace among its member worlds. But behind the scenes, away from the bright lights of news hover-cams, trouble is brewing. Races that have been at peace during the last two years are starting to fight over borders and the rights to new technologies. Random attacks on shipping lanes are growing in number. There are troubling reports of powerful, unidentified warships near the rim. It could be nothing at all—paranoia because things have been going along so well? Or it could be exactly what it looks like... trouble.

Babylon 5, the last of the Babylon stations, is five miles long and has enough space for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. Against all odds, and through two more wars in which it was nearly destroyed, the fifth and final station has become the center of a new and fragile alliance of worlds - the Interstellar Alliance, ever threatened by new enemies lurking in the shadows—a fortress of light to stand against the darkness.
