Why are they called the Babylon 5 when there are six of them in the picture?
It's the fifth Babylon station. The first three were destroyed by sabotage and the fourth disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The first fell to sabatage. So, they built a second one. That fell to sabatage. Same with the third. So, they built a fourth one. That burned down, fell into an atmosphere, then fell to sabatage, but the fifth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest space station in these sectors.
That’s just their manager
