Plot

The original TV series and three of the films (The Gathering, Thirdspace and River of Souls) were set on Babylon 5, a five mile long space station located in neutral territory. Starting in 2258, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War, the series details the rise of the ancient chaos-loving Shadows and their war with the Vorlons, an equally ancient race believing in order.
