TIMELINE OF EVENTS IN

THE MILKY WAYPREHISTORY

15,000,000,000 BC Y-15000002111 Terminus time-jumps into a new universe (DW: TERMINUS). The Master tricks Adric into sending the Tardis to the Hydrogen In-rush (DW: CASTROVALVA). The Doctor accidently causes the Tardis Fast Return Switch to jam and the time machine is almost carried to EventOne (DW: THE EDGE OF DESTRUCTION).

9,000,000,000 BC Y-9000002111 The "Outsiders" watch as planet-based sapients begin to develop. (MKW7 "A Darker Geometry") There is The First One. Shadows evolve [B5: "They were old when even the Ancients were young" ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum"); "The first of these Ancients were the Shadows" ("Matters of Honor")]. The First Ones, the eldest alien species evolve, those who "Walk among the stars like Giants" (B5: "In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum").

1,500,000,000 BC Y-1500002111 The Thrint, later known as the "Slavers", rule the Galaxy. [KS: This is described as anywhere from 1.5 to 3 Billion years ago]. The crypto-Ptavv Guerdoth's Pruntaquilan Balladeer Coquaturia is hidden in a stasis box. (MKW5 "Hey Diddle Diddle") In the last decades before the end of their rule, a thrint named Plorn's tnuctip slaves produce antigravity, ruining the need for Stage Trees to launch material, and precipitating a major economic crash. (KS: "World of Ptavvs", "A Relic of Empire") At this point, Kzanol experiences a failure of his ship, which he abandons. He aims it at the eighth world of F124, and places himself in stasis. His ship slams into a moon orbiting the eighth world, tearing the moon from its orbit and forming the planet later called Pluto. Kzanol slams into the algae-covered sea of F124 - III, later known as Earth. ("World of Ptavvs") Before Kzanol actually impacts onto Earth, the Thrint Empire is engulfed in a civil war that will last for a century. This long revolt is led by the Tnuctipun, using their weapons of Sunflowers, and their Bandersnatchi / Whitefood spies. This war quickly involves all known species in the Galaxy, presumably excepting the Outsiders. (KS:"World of Ptavvs", "The Soft Weapon") As it becomes clear that the war is lost, the surviving Thrint build a giant telepathic Amplifier designed to order all sentients in the Galaxy to commit suicide on "Last Day". ("World of Ptavvs", MKW3 "The Asteroid Queen") Durvash the Tnuctipun spy discovers a way to halt the impending Suicide Time, but his ship is thrust into Stasis by the impact of a Thrinti Godfist weapon that imbeds the tnuctip vessel into the molten crust of what will someday become the Jotun Mountains of Wunderland. (MKW5 "The Hall of the Mountain King") A day or so before the Last Day/Suicide Time, Dnivtopun, Overseer of a food world in the 7-1Z-A (Alpha Centauri) System, his wives and his young son, suffer an accident that seals them in a stasis field. (MKW3 "The Asteroid Queen") Somehow, some Thrintun may have survived and gradually evolved into the sessile Grogs of Down. (KS: "The Handicapped")

400,000,000 BC Y-400002111 Scaroth's spaceship explodes, the resulting radiation accelerating the course of life on Earth (DW: CITY OF DEATH).

150,000,000 BC Y-150002111 After being obliterated, Eldrad's hand falls on Earth (DW: THE HAND OF FEAR).

2,000,000 BC Y-2002111 The "Earth-Pak" arrive on Earth. They discover that the Earth's soil will not support the "tree of life" root, and send a message back to the Pak homeworld. (KS: "Protector") After receiving the message from the "Earth-Pak" fleet, the Ringworld Builder fleet leaves the Pak Homeworld. (Game, "Ringworld Engineers")

1,000,000 BC Y-1002111 Building and stocking of the Ringworld. (Game) The age of the Thirdspace device (B5: "Thirdspace"). The First Ones begin to disappear, some traveling beyond the stars (B5: "In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum"). They leave behind the Vorlons and the Shadows to shepherd the younger species along; the Vorlons following the rigid paths of Order, while the Shadows prefer the more explosive evolutionary path of Chaos and Conflict (B5: "Za'Ha'Dum", "Falling towards Apotheosis"). Over the next million years there are a series of wars between the remaining "First Ones" (especially the Vorlons) and the Shadows (B5: "The Coming of Shadows"). The Shadows are often driven from Za'Ha'Dum, but always return; Lorien says they believe they are "paying their respects" to him, though he believes that both they and the Vorlons "no longer understand" ("Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum", "Where is Mr. Garibaldi")

500,000 BC Y-502111 Puppeteer population numbers nearly half a trillion. They terraform two of the worlds in their system. (KS: "Ringworld") The Vindrizi are created as a species of "symbiotes" to record everything, observing events all over the galaxy so that others can learn about the past when all the records have been lost in the next dark age ("Exogenesis").

8020 BC Y-10131 Zolpha-Thura is destroyed in a global war (DW: MEGLOS).

8000 BC Y-10111 Importation of species to the Ringworld by the City Builders. (Game). The Core Stars begin to explode. (Estimate - "At the Core") The Jotaki visit the planet Kzin, in the 61 Ursa Majoris system. They attempt to hire the Kzinti as mercenaries, but are themselves enslaved. The Kzinti use the Jatoki biological sciences to drive their females into non-sentience, and to make all their males into the ideal "Heroes". (MKW3 "Asteroid Queen"; date is an estimate) The last Great War between the Shadows and the First Ones (B5: "In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum"). The Soul Hunters imprison the entire planet of Ragla (B5: "River of Souls"). Ceti 4's civilization dies out ("War Zone").

MODERN HISTORY

731 AD Y-1380 Monarch leaves Urbanka for the fifth and last time (DW: FOUR TO DOOMSDAY).

981 AD Y-1130 Urbanka becomes uninhabitable (DW: FOUR TO DOMMSDAY).

c1050 AD Y-1061The Hyach pass religious laws making it immoral to intermarry with the Hyach-doh (B5: "Secrets of the Soul").

1066 AD Y-1045 The Meddling Monk attempts to ensure King Harold's victory by supplying him with an atomic bazooka (DW: THE TIME MEDDLER).

c1100 AD Y-1011

The Minbari first begin to travel space (JMSU). They discover the ancient network of jump gates (B5: N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows).

1190 AD Y-921 The Doctor meets King Richard during the Crusades (DW: THE CRUSADES).

1191 AD Y-920 Linx, a Sontaran, crash-lands in England (DW: THE TIME WARRIOR).

about 1200 AD Y-911Wierden, one of the last of the Taratimude forms the technomages into a cohesive group (B5: N-Casting Shadows). The technomage Osiyrin studies the Drahk (N-Casting Shadows). A minor Centauri noble leads the extermination of the other sentient race on their world, the Xon (B5: "Parliament of Dreams", N - Summoning Light). He proclaims himself as the first emperor of the Centauri Republic ("Objects at Rest"). He receives the blessing of the technomage Frazur and two other technomages (N-Casting Shadows, "The Geometry of Shadows", N - Summoning Light). After the Battle of Scoria Plains, the Centauri emperor Morell visits with Malia, the prophetess of Tuwain (S-"The Shadow of His Thoughts"). [The date is given as 1200 years. Centauri years do not appear to be the same as Earth years.]

1215 AD Y-896 The Doctor meets Kamelion masquerading as King John under the control of the Master (DW: THE KING'S DEMONS).

c1250 AD Y-861A highly advanced space-faring society flourishes on Ikara 7. After being invaded repeatedly, they build 12 organic technology warriors to protect them (B5: "Infection"). The Markab and several other species appear to have some experience of Soldier's of Darkness (B5: "Long Dark"). The Shadows occupy a continent on Narn's Southern Hemisphere, where they are observed by G'Quon. He writes of this "Ancient Race" and their Great War at the Rim of "Known Space", centered around Za'Ha'Dum (B5: "Revelations") in his Sacred Book. He includes pictures of Shadow Warriors and Shadow vessels (B5: "The Long Dark", "Matters of Honor") [He manages to identify the location of the stars near Za'Ha'Dum accurately enough that G'Kar is able to trace them and visit them ("Revelations")] After the Narns start attacking the Shadows, the Shadows retaliate by killing off all the Narn "mindwalkers" (telepaths) (JSMU). The Taratimude technomages fight for the Shadows (N-Casting Shadows). On an unnamed planet, the population is subjected to the Shadow plague after denying the Shadows access to their world as a Base. The population goes into suspended animation (B5: "Racing the Night"). An alliance of worlds, including the few remaining First Ones (including the Vorlons) and the Minbari attack the Shadows in what will later be remembered as a Great War ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum"). Nothing of specific significance occurs on Earth, although at least two Shadow ships crash in the Solar System (at Mars and Ganymede) (B5: "Message from Earth"). The Great War begins to go badly for the Minbari, et al. Their greatest 'star base' is destroyed by the Shadows. Babylon 4 is brought back from the future to serve as a as a replacement base of operations during a war between Light and Darkness, seeming to appear from out of nowhere ("Babylon Squares", "War Without End", pts 1&2). Accompanying Babylon 4 is Jeffrey David Sinclair, who undergoes the "Chrysalis" process to become Valen, a "Minbari, not Born of Minbari" ("War Without End", pt.2). Valen subdues the Warrior Caste, establishes the Grey Council (JMSU) as "The Chosen One" (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows), and establishes the Anla'Shok ("Rangers") to fight the Shadows (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows). The Alliance against the Shadows destroy 2/3ds of the Shadow forces, driving them from Za'Ha'Dum ("War Without End", pt.1). Valen's appearance signals that Minbari Souls are going somewhere

else, "going missing" [this may be when they start to actually notice a change] ("War Without End", JMSU). The B4 Station survives the war, but doesn't last much longer than that (JMSU). [Actually, this is not entirely true, since it remains intact until it is discovered in 2261 (C-"In Valen's name").] Valen transforms the Anla'Shok into an army of watchers to keep an eye out for the return of the Shadows (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows). It is possible that Sinclair finds Catharine Sakai in the past (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows).

1250-1350 After the War, Valen had children. The children, fearing persecution because they weren't pure Minbari, fled Minbar until after Valen's death ("Atonement"). Sometime during this time, the Taratimude wipe themselves out (N-Casting Shadows). The lineage of Wierden still revive the tech from the Shadows (N-Casting Shadows).

c1260 ADD Y-851The Shadows bury their capitols ships in preparation for the next War, including one on Mars, and one on Ganymede (JMSM). [Unknown Dates] ???? The technomage Gali-Gali defeats the menace of the Zrad, and serves at the right hand of the Empress Nare for a century of peace (N-Casting Shadows). ???? The technomage Maju seals the Lau hyperspace rift at the cost of his own life (N-Casting Shadows). ???? The technomage Kwa-Kiri ruled an empire (N-Casting Shadows). ???? The technomage Neldonic ruled an empire (N-Casting Shadows).

1289 AD Y-822 The Doctor meets Marc Polo in Pamir and Kublai Khan in Peking (DW: MARCO POLO).

1300 AD Y-811 The Daleks and the Thals rediscover space travel (DW: PLANET OF THE DALEKS).

c1350 AD Y-761Valen writes notes to Delenn and Sinclair ("War Without End", pt.1, JMSU). Valen "Goes Beyond" (JMSU, N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows); his body is never found ("Atonement") [Foreshadowing Sheridan's end ("Sleeping in Light"). The Children of Valen return to Minbar and have children of their own, spreading human genes through the Minbari population for the next thousand years ("Atonement").

1415 AD Y-696 The Vampire Louis Wu eventually names Bram is "shaped", becoming a Protector ["7200 falans ago"]. (KS: "Ringworld Throne")

1450 AD Y-661 The Protectors Anne and Bram kill Cronus and take control of the Repair Center. The "Fist of God" mountain is created by a giant impact from outside the Ringworld ["7000 falans ago"].

An Alien is captured and brought back to SHADO HQ, but what secrets does it reveal?(UFO "Identified")A secret military organization named SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) becomes operational. Its purpose is to defend the Earth from a race of Aliens who've been kidnapping humans for body parts.SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a London film studio. It also has a base on the moon (Moonbase) and a fleet of submarines (Skydiver). Incoming UFO's are initially detected by an Earth orbiting satellite named SID (Space Intruder Detector). An initial interception attempt is made in space with three Interceptors launched from Moonbase. A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a fighter plane (Sky One) launched from Skydiver. Landed UFO's are tracked down with ground Mobiles.SHADO is run by the extremely dedicated Commander Ed Straker. His seconds in command are Col. Alec Freeman, Col. Paul Foster, and Col. Virginia Lake.

A UFO is discovered in a nearby crater, and a battle leaves Col. Foster missing and presumed dead. However, Foster is still alive, as is an Alien. After initial mistrust, the two join together to try and survive the walk back to Moonbase. But will they?

(UFO "Survival")A series of unexplained communication blackouts on Moonbase eventually destroys a lunar module during a landing attempt. Col. Foster believes the interference is coming from the nearby Dalotek base. However, after removing the suspected source, another blackout occurs -- just as a UFO is coming in for an attack!(UFO "Dalotek Affair")Commander Straker's son is hit by a car, and Straker orders a SHADO transport jet to deliver desperately needed medication.

Early July Delenn becomes a fully participating Member of the Grey Council [The year this occurs is based on a JMS message that somehow differentiates between "Standing beside you as one of the Nine" ("All Alone in the Night") and "Being on the Council" ("Severed Dreams"); as well as the assumptions explained under B2 about how long a Minbari "Cycle" lasts; however, the episode "Atonement" makes it fairly clear that the contact with the humans is her first action as Satai, or one of the Nine]. 12 July The Grey Council's cruiser in a group of three (or four) ships encounters a human convoy fleet, including EAS Prometheus (under Captain Michael Jankowski), EAS Hyperion, and DSEV Amundsen (an EA Explorer Class vessel). Only Delenn can identify what species the ships belong to. Notably on hand are a group of Soul Hunters. The Minbari religious leader Dukhat realizes that the Minbari practice of approaching with gun ports open could be dangerous, but before his order to close them can be carried out, the Earth ships attack; Gunnery Sgt. David McIntyre of the Prometheus fires the first shots of the confrontation that destroys the two Minbari ships, and severely damages the Grey Council's Cruiser; Dukhat is killed. A Soul Hunter is on hand for the death, but is prevented from taking Dukhat's soul by the Grey Council ("Soul Hunter"). Enraged over the death of Dukhat, Delenn gives the order that starts the Earth-Minbari War. The Minbari ships open fire, and a number of the Earth ships are destroyed. The rest of the Human ships flee as the remaining Minbari ships hesitate, waiting to see what happened to Dukhat. When it is learned that he was killed, they take off and pursue the ships back to an Earth base. Initially, Captain Jankowski explains that they had encountered hostiles in an attempt to cover his actions (N-Clark's Law, JMSU, "Midnight on the Firing Line", "Legacies", "Revelations", "A Late Delivery From Avalon", "Atonement", N-In the Beginning, "In the Beginning"). [The war is said to have lasted "about 5 years" in some sources (JMSU). However, it took place "15 years ago to the day" according to ("Late Delivery from Avalon" (occurring in 2260)). According to (N-Clark's Law), Luis Santiago is a vice president under Madame Elizabeth Levy (N-In the Beginning gives her name as Beth Levy, JMSM gives her name), the contact ship was the DSEV Amundsen (N-Clark's Law), and the date was 12 Nov 2242. JSMD states clearly that both the Amundsen and the Prometheus were involved. "In the Beginning" places the contact date as "35 years" before 2278 (or 2243-4) My date is backdated from the estimated date of ("Late Delivery from Avalon").] Following the death of Dukhat, and the final vote of Delenn, a Holy War set against the Humans. The Worker class goes along with Warrior Caste and part of the Religious Caste. The remainder of the Religious Caste are unsure, but are unable to raise sufficient objections to the war to stop it. The Minbari fleet begins its movement towards Earth by destroying the colony at Jericho 3 (N-In the Beginning). Some time is taken up while the Minbari pull their forces together, establish supply lines and so on, but they work quickly (JMSU).

Earthforce strips Jankowski of rank, and tries him for his attack on the Minbari. They offer to turn him over to the Minbari, but this is rejected (N-In the Beginning). Planetary Draft begins ("The Coming of Shadows"). Steven Franklin returns to Earthforce (N-In the Beginning). During the war, the Death Penalty was in use (N-Clark's Law). Presumably, Garibaldi crawls out of his bottle long enough to serve as a "GROPO" during the War, since his Unit was attacked, and pretty well wiped out ("Long Dark"). Steven Franklin is thrown in prison for not turning over his notes on Minbari biology to Earthforce (N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning"). In an engagement between the Drala Fi ("Black Star"), the Minbari flagship/War Cruiser, and a number of Earth Force vessels, including the EAS Lexington under Capt. Roger Sterns, Ganya Ivanov, is killed ("Eyes", JMSU, N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning"). The Lexington is badly damaged, and Capt. Sterns is killed. John Sheridan, first officer on the Lexington, destroys the Black Star by mining an asteroid field and then transmitting a distress signal ("Points of Departure", "There All The Honor Lies", JMSU, N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning") [Sheridan explicitly states this takes place in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter]. There is an attempt at peace negotiations between Sheridan, Steven Franklin and Lenonn, head of the Rangers, aided by G'Kar. It is disrupted when the Centauri attack the meeting and kill the Ranger Lenonn (N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning") [Dates of events even during the novel are a bit tricky to determine, but the aired information is pretty clear about this being near the beginning of the war]. Rush act passed? [JMS has said that this was during the E-M War] Europa mining strikes result in the Rush Act being enacted ("By Any Means Necessary"). [It has to have been passed before it can have been enacted]

2246 AD Y136A deep space "listening post" of 47 humans is established on a moon orbiting a world being used by the Minbari as a Command and Control post. [This world is more or less between Earth and Epsilon 3]. The Listening Post is set up in the ruins of an old city. 46 of the 47 are killed by the Shadow Warrior they wake up. The Shadow hitches a ride on a passing space vessel, the USS Copernicus ("Long Dark"). [The actual date is conjectural, as it "happened in the war"] $$KS: Locklear is captured by Kzin looking for the Eridani worlds, and stranded on an uncharted world orbitting a black dwarf. There he encounters sentient female Kzinti and telepathic Neanderthal. (MKW1 "Cathouse"; MKW2 "Briar Patch". Date is a guess, but is shortly before the 4th War.) The Callisto is on a spy mission behind the "Chord of Contact" when it crashes on a planet, only to be met by a Kzin ship scouting for the Last Fleet heading to attack Margrave, under Admiral Lehruff. The crew of Callisto free the crypto-Ptavv Guerdoth's Pruntaquilan Balladeer Coquaturia. (MKW5 "Hey Diddle Diddle") Fourth Man-Kzin War begins by a series of kamikaze attacks on human ships guarding the Eridani worlds. (Game.) Harvey Mossbauer's family is killed and eaten. ("Ringworld Engineers") Sinbad Jabar lands on Meerowsk, and invades the Hareem of the Patriarch's Voice. His stuffed body is placed on display. (KS: "Procustes")

Y136-142 2246-2252AD Second Federation/Kzinti War (Fourth Man/Kzin War). Kzintis attack Federation border stations. War ends with no change in border. (Note that the Game dates for the fourth war are 2560-2584. However, because of the SFB timeline, I have moved it back, but have retained the duration.)

2247 AD Y137May The Mars government declares neutrality in the Earth-Minbari War [JMSM says this takes place in 2248, but it seems a bit odd to declare neutrality in a war that's already over]). Susan Ivanova enters Earth Force ("Severed Dreams"). Marcus Cole is drafted into Earthforce (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows) The Battle of Sinzar. The Battle of Flinn Colony (N-In the Beginning). Dec*Battle of the Line, of 20,000 vessels fielded by Earth, 250,000 people, there are only 200 survivors (including Sinclair and David McIntyre). End of the Earth/Minbar War ("And the Sky Full of Stars", "A Late Delivery From Avalon", N-In the Beginning). [War ends in 2247,

according to JMSD] Sinavel, Captain of the Minbari War Cruiser Tregoni, commits suicide and his ship vanishes rather than accept the Surrender ("Legacies", "Point of Departure"). John Sheridan marries Anna Keller (N-In the Beginning). [This conflicts with dates in N-The Shadow Within.] Lyta begins to work for Xenocorp ("Moments of Transition")

(77 years before "A Relic of Empire") May [The Mars government declares neutrality in the Earth-Minbari War (JMSM).] June Morden marries (N-Casting Shadows). Beginning of the Free Mars Movement ("Voice in the Wilderness", pt.1). [At least the PUBLIC beginning] Mary Kirkish begins to work for Interplanetary Expeditions ("Messages from Earth").

("Protector") Ivanova is a cadet at flight school (B5: "OTC" ("And Now for Word")). She meets J.D. Ortega (N-Accusations). The inception of the Babylon Project by President Luis Santiago (N-Clark's Law). [This conflicts with JMSM's statement that Levy is still president.] [3 Dec [15 Jul] The Sheridans marry (N-The Shadow Within).] The Technomage Elric is elected to the Circle (N-Casting Shadows).

2250 AD Y140 The Argolin and the Foamasi fight a 20 minute war that almost totally destroys Argolis (DW: THE LEISURE HIVE). October Morden's daughter Sarah is born (N-Casting Shadows). The EA Senate votes to suspend food shipments to Mars in retaliation for Martian neutrality in the war, against President Levy's objections (JMSM). G'Kar begins to serve on the Kha'Ri, Narn Council about this time ("Parliament of Dreams"). Delenn's father dies about this time, his spirit broken by the War ("Grey 17 is missing") Ivanova transfers to Io, leaving behind Malcolm Biggs in a major career move - She cries herself to sleep for the first few months ("War Prayer"). There she meets and works for John Sheridan ("Points of Departure"). The technomage Craiselnek dies. Before her body is incinerated, Burell harvests some of her microtech to try and learn about it (N-Casting Shadows).

2251 AD Y141January-April Food Riots on Mars ("Lines of Communication", JMSM). Earth Force brutally suppresses the riots, and imposes a provisional government directly accountable to EarthDome. During this period, Sinclair and Sheridan meet ("War Without End", pt.1). Sheridan shows some sort of brilliance of command ability ("A Distant Star"). Sinclair meets Laurel Takashima, head of Mars security (JMSG). *Garibaldi is involved in a string of failed jobs as bounces his way across known space [estimate based on a variety of sources]. During this time he serves as a transport pilot on a number of Ice Mining operations, and spends time on Orion 3.... 3 April Charles Ward, the "Black Rose Killer", is sentenced to be mind-wiped at Earth Colony 3 in the Orion system, after committing 9 murders ("Passing Through Gethsemane"). Leo Mueller is chess Grand Master ("Passing through Gethsemane"/s)

2252 AD Y142The Drazi begin secretly supporting the Raiders attacking smaller races the edges of Drazi space about this time ("The Paragon of Animals"). Burell accidentally switches off Craiselnek's tech implants (N-Casting Shadows).

2253 AD Y143Garibaldi transfers to Mars, where he runs a shuttle transport business on Mars (C-5)

9 February David McIntyre is honorably discharged from Earth Force ("Late Delivery from Avalon"). An Interplanetary Expeditions archaeological team, including Mary Kirkish, finds a Shadow ship buried under the Martian Sands in Syria Planum, where Psi Corps will eventually have a secret base ("Message from Earth"). 16 April Abel horn escapes from Lunis Planum prison base after serving for 1 month ("A Spider in the Web"/v). (Day 1) Sinclair hires Garibaldi to ferry him and his team on a search mission. (C-5) [First time they meet; The Comic places this in 2255, Kirkish's comments in ("Message from Earth") suggests a date of 2253. It takes place during the "Martian Winter", which, according to Brett Feinblatt will be centered on April.] (Day 2) An IPX team unburies a Shadow ship buried under the sands of Syria Planum for at least a 1000 yrs. A worker touches it with his bare hand and dies ("Message from Earth"). (Day 6) IPX tells Dr. Kirkish and the others to move out, and a number of unmarked shuttles head in for 6 days ("Message from Earth"). (Day 7) Garibaldi and Sinclair are shot down [5th day of flying (C-6)] They have only 5 days of air and food with them as they begin to walk out. (Day 9) The Shadow vessel sends out a signal (N-The Shadow Within). (Day ?) A telepath named McDwyer touches the ship and goes insane (N-Deadly Relations). Bester first encounters Shadow technology in Syria Planum (N-Deadly Relations). (Day 12) A Shadow ship shows up at Syria Planum, digs the other ship out, and both leave ("Message from Earth"). [These ships are tracked by IPX and EA to "Alpha Omega 3" (Za'Ha'Dum") (N-The Shadow Within). Garibaldi and Sinclair, while hiking 50 miles out of the desert together, get stuck in a cave. Finally they get out, and spot a Shadow ship digging out the one Kirkish unearthed. They also discover a Psi-Corps base on Mars, involved in some sort of secret project with the Shadows. Talia is one of many subjects of this project (C8, "Message from Earth"). [It is not clear that this project is actually the same project that made Talia into a "sleeper". Obviously, though, by this time there is some Shadow influence in the EA Government.] 12 July Sheridan is involved in something he'd rather not have stories told about ("A Distant Star"). *Talia Winters serves on Mars with the Penal system. She soon leaves to work for the Political Bureau? [Pretty much conjecture based on some dialogue in ("Quality of Mercy") and JMSU] *Head of the Black Omega Squadron, and several Bloodhound Units of Meta Pol, Bester first hears of the dark movements in the Corps (N-Deadly Relations). *A unnamed person, called "The Blinder", starts murdering telepaths on Beta 2 (or Sheffer 3). Bester travels there to look for him. There he meets Lyta Alexander, who is interning with the Psi Cops. Bester engages in illegal scans of civilians, and eventually finds the killer, an Adamite cultist. Rather than simply kill him, Bester twists his mind, eventually trapping him in a cell in a secret facility on Beta, straitjacketed 24 hours a day to keep him from clawing out his own eyes to stop the nightmare visions only he can see ("Face of the Enemy", N-Deadly Relations). *Rumors of a "Rogue" element in the government begin to spread ("A Spider in the Web"). Burell accidentally shuts off some of her own tech implants (N-Casting Shadows).

2254 AD Y144Babylon 4 goes on Line. 24 Hours later a small group of group of Shadow vessels attempt to destroy it. They are stopped by the White Star. Sheridan is "lost in time". [Based on Kranz's statements to Sinclair, I assume that this is when the station's "Time Track" system begins to go haywire.] Cloaked by the EMP burst from the destroyed Shadow bomb, the White Star lands on the station, punches through the hull and the landing teams split up ("War Without End", pt.1). Ivanova and Marcus are nearly caught, alerting the Babylon 4 Security forces to the presence of "hostiles" on board. A false Hull Breach warning frees up the area of B4 connecting to the Power Core to the White Star teams. After Zathras sees Sheridan reappear once, he sets up a "blue suit" to help contain the Captain. He reappears and remains. Sheridan and Sinclair head into the central power core to finish stabilizing the Station while Ivonova begins rigging a false reading to convince the B4 Crew that their core was unstable. Noting that there is a drop in power production, Major Kranz orders an increase of power. This triggers the Time Travel mechanism. Sheridan is again lost in time. ("War Without End", pt.2). A single shuttle, carrying "Jinxo" leaves the station in time to see B4 vanish ("Grail"). The Cortez leaves for the Rim ("A Distant Star").

However, if it took place in March, that WOULD be "nine months before Season One". Lyta refers to these events having taken place in "Summer 2257" in "Darkness Ascending".] ? March (Day 2) Sinclair turns station over to Takashima during the investigation. The B5 Advisory Council turn Sinclair over to Vorlon jurisdiction.

July Knives [Sheridan is referred to as taking command of B5 "seven months ago"] Sheridan is presented with nightmares from his past. Londo tries to save an old friend from his new ones.

The Station briefly opens a Merchandising shop. Early August And Now For a Word [The Date is an estimate, based on the fact that the "36 Hours" Episode *airs* 16 Sep 2259, but giving them enough time to produce the episode to air. It is unreasonable to assume that it could take place any earlier than this.] The station is visited by a INS news team. Centauri are discovered to be smuggling "weapons of Mass destruction" through the station. Londo is recalled to Centauri Prime for "consultations on the war effort" ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum").

Mollari tries to convince the Tuchanq to accept Centauri assistance in exchange for permitting a Centauri force to remain on their moon. The Tuchanq are suspicious and decide to wait a bit. One Tuchanq, D'Arc, is stunned

and goes insane, killing a visiting human. Earthdome decides that this is to be the first time death sentence is applied, and sends an executioner [Aboard a ship that clearly takes too little time to arrive]. G'Kar attacked in core shuttle by Lurkers wearing Changeling nets to look like Tuchanq. Defeats them and kills all but one. Executioner killed accidentally. EarthGov makes Sheridan judge, jury & executioner. G'Kar tries to kill Mollari, after learning he was behind the attack. Morden saves both Garibaldi's and Mollari's lives (N-Clark's Law). 13 December D'Arc is sentenced to death. Sheridan & Garibaldi fake the execution and send D'Arc onto the Tuchanq ship. A riot breaks out during the execution, hundreds wounded and more than 50 people are killed. The Tuchanq decide to accept Centauri offer. 14 December [Date of the Signing of the Earth-Centauri Non-Aggression Pact if the *actual* dates of Hanukah in 2259 are used; This would, of course, place "Matters of Honor" over Christmas] Mid to Late December Morden talks to Refa; arranges for Zagros VII to be secured.

The Narn war cruiser, G'Tok, arrives very late at night and seeks sanctuary at Babylon 5. [Lantz refers to the Solstice celebrations in Geneva as though it was something he didn't want to miss.

Engineering and Maintenance hire Richard Carlson ("Convictions"). ???? N-The Touch of your Shadow, The Whisper of Your Name [Placement of this novel is a blatant guess. Garibaldi has been on a week long vacation, therefore it must take place after ("Message from Earth") since he says he hasn't had any vacation in three years; The note in the front of the book specifies that it takes place before ("A Day in the Strife").]

16 January Convictions [Dates are estimates] Various alien missionaries arrive at the station. Brother Theo and his monks arrive at the station. A series of Bombs rock the station.

Na'far tries to convince G'Kar to leave. 21 January A group of Narns meet Na'Far. Attempt to kill him, and G'Kar stops them by agreeing to go back. With all the answers ready, Sheridan figures out that the probe is actually there to destroy anyone who might be advanced enough to be a threat. Ta'Lon and the others convince G'Kar to stay. Garibaldi & Franklin meet in Earhart's again. Franklin lies about not having used stims during the whole probe incident. Sheridan meets with the Transport Pilots' Association. Vir leaves for Minbar. 25 January Passing through Gethsemane [Dates are estimates] Theo beats Sheridan in a chess game. Lyta Alexander returns to the station. [Lyta left a month ago.

G'Kar sentenced to no less than 60 days (8 1/2 weeks) incarceration for assaulting Londo [Date based on G'Kar's being released in ("Point of No Return")] c29 February Vir recalled to Minbar [Londo looks like he's had a few days to recover from his beating].

Marcus receives info from a Ranger. "Ranger 1" recommends that the Rangers go on heightened state of alert and pull back from Earth space, due to what's happening back home. A 'package' Marcus wants just left Mars, and should arrive in a week.

Marcus & Franklin are taken prisoner by the Vendrizi. Corwin visits Ivanova. Franklin & Marcus agree to let

the Vendrizi go on with their mission. Duncan can't take another back in - it would harm him. 13 March Ivanova tells Sheridan Corwin won't work out. Duncan decides to leave B5, to try and see the things he saw when he was joined with the Vendrizi. 18 March Messages From Earth [Dates are estimates] Bacon & Eggs; Mary Kirkish arrives on B5 ["beginning the Sixth week of Senate hearings;" G'Kar says "two weeks here; Six to go"; Since the actual duration is 8 1/2 weeks, my estimate is an attempt to be as conservative as possible.] 19 March Sheridan leaves to reach the White Star. ["The captain hasn't been in his quarters since last Monday".] 20 March Sheridan and the White Star reach Ganymede just as the Shadow Vessel is activated. Sheridan encounters the Agamemnon. 21 March Sheridan returns to B5. 2 April General Hague disappears from contact ["Last Monday"]. 8 April President Clarke declares Martial Law in "Earth Central" (Late evening).

[Backdated from ("Ship of Tears")] 3 July Sic Transit Vir Vir returns to B5 from Centauri Prime to find that he's been engaged to be married. Vir is removed from his position at Minbar because he has been helping Narn escape. c12 July A Late Delivery from Avalon [This is "15 years to the day" after the Prometheus fired the shots that began the Earth/Minbari War.

Mid November Walkabout [Date is a guess. JMS says that the episode was originally supposed to air before "War Without End", but it was held back. Internal evidence seems to leave the point in

doubt.] Mid November Grey 17 Is Missing ["Between Grey 17 and Rock was several weeks, then you've got about 2 weeks from Rock to Shadow Dancing. That's five weeks, ..."

They take him to a secret facility on Mars, where Bester intervenes and adds some programming of his own. Bester is aware that some kind of action is being planned against the Corps, but he didn't know what or by whom. Given Garibaldi's proven track record at ferreting out conspiracies, Bester instructs his colleagues to leave Garibaldi's personality largely intact, and to accentuate his natural sense of paranoia and distrust. Garibaldi's mission is to gather information about the threat to the Psi Corps if the opportunity arose, then signal Bester.

Garibaldi learns of a threat against the Telepaths, and Bester's people wipe out Edgars and his threat. Garibaldi gets his mind back. Mid-Late November Intersections in Real Time [Date is an estimate - Begins about 2-3 days after "The Face of the Enemy". This episode *appears* to take 4-5 days, but given the nature of the torture, there is no real reason to believe what is actually said -- however, based on the healing of the wounds on Sheridan's face, and the speed of his beard's growth, it's not implausible]. Sheridan is tortured.

BLAKE'S SEVENThe Way BackSeeking information about his family, Roj Blake accompanies a couple of activists out of the dome city. Once outside he meets a man who appears to know him, who tells Blake that he was once the

leader of a powerful underground faction but was captured and has been brainwashed by the authorities. Shocked by these revelations, Blake asks for some time to consider and walks off through the underground tunnels; while there he hears troops and hides. He witnesses the slaughter of all of the activists, and then attempts to sneak back into the dome but is caught. Awaking in a prison cell, he discovers that he is being charged with child molesting. He convinces his lawyer that the charges are false, but when the lawyer uncovers evidence to corroborate this, Blake's deportation is accelerated.

Space FallThe departure of the prison ship London is brought forward to ensure that Blake does not receive a reprieve, and the long journey to the prison planet Cygnus Alpha starts. Here Blake, with the aid of other prisoners including Vila Restal, Jenna Stannis, Kerr Avon and Oleg Gan, gains control of the ships computer room. The first officer, Sub-Commander Raiker, starts executing one of prisoners every thirty seconds until Jenna, Avon and Blake surrender. Despite Avon's complaints, they surrender rapidly. The prisoners back in their cell, the crew of the London detect a large apparently derelict ship floating nearby and decide to attempt to salvage it. After several crew members are lost in the attempt, the captain decides to send Jenna, Blake and Avon into the derelict ship to recover the lost crewmen. Within the alien ship, they start to succumb to a self-defence system that uses your memory against you, but Blake's knowledge that his memories are falsified allows him to duck the illusions it generates and save the others. The three of them gain control of the alien ship which Blake names The Liberator, and fly the ship away, with the help of the ship's computer Zen. Raiker is killed in the escape attempt.

Cygnus AlphaBlake uses the Liberator to trail the London to the prison planet Cygnus Alpha. Avon discovers that the Liberator is equipped with a teleport device, so Blake is able to teleport down to the planet. Once there, he discovers that the inhabitants of Cygnus Alpha have formed a strange religious order, and that a deadly disease has infected the other prisoners. This disease can be treated, but not cured, by the monks. Blake eventually discovers that the disease is a sham, perpetrated to force new prisoners to convert to the prevailing religion. The prisoners break out aided by Blake, but he only manages to rescue Vila and Gan - most of the others are killed. Vila and Gan join Blake, Avon and Jenna on the Liberator.

Time SquadThe Liberator encounters a small slow space craft which contains a cryogenically frozen crew. They take the ship inside the hold and start the lengthy process to defrost the crew. Meanwhile, Blake and Avon go to meet some resistance fighters and hopes that together they can attack a major communications relay station belonging to the Federation. He in the end makes contact with the sole survivor of the resistance cell, a telepath from the Planet Auron called Cally. While Blake, Cally and Avon are down on the planet, the rest of the crew have problems on board the Liberator when the crew of the spacecraft awake from their sleep and turn out to be far from friendly. At the end of the episode, Cally decides to join the Liberator's crew.

The WebThe Liberator starts to accelerate unexpectedly, and loses all forward sensors. The crew eventually bring the Liberator back under control, and find themselves in an unexplored area of space infested with a cobweb like material which cocoons the Liberator and renders it unable to move.

They are then contacted by renegades of Cally's world, called the Lost. Blake teleports down and encounters two of the Lost and a race of hostile out-of-control creations called the Decimas. The base is running out of energy, and the Lost propose a trade - energy cells in exchange for a way out of the Web that envelopes the Liberator. However, it becomes clear that the Lost intend to wipe out the rapidly evolving race of Decimas with their new supply of energy, so Blake refuses to give them the energy cells they need. The Decimas gain entry to the base, overrunning it and destroying the Lost.

Seek-Locate-DestroyThe Liberator arrives at Kentero, a planet hosting a strategic Federation Communications Centre. Blake, Vila, Gan, Avon and Cally break in, and steal the vital Cypher machine that will enable them to read all the Federation's messages. They sabotage the centre to cover their tracks, and leave, but Cally is left behind accidentally. Meanwhile, the Supreme Commander of the Federation forces, Servalan, assigns the ruthless Space Commandor Travis to find and destroy Blake and the Liberator. Travis insists on three experimental (Sunburst class) high speed pursuit ships crewed by genetically modified humans called mutoids. Realising Blake has captured the cypher machine, Travis sends a fake high security message about Cally, in order to lay a trap for Blake and the others.

Mission to DestinyFinding an old Galaxy-class transport ship in a circular holding pattern in deep space, Blake, Avon and Cally teleport over to investigate. They find a drugged crew, a murdered pilot and evidence of sabotage. The crew were transporting a cylinder containing an urgently needed (and hugely expensive) chemical to the planet Destiny, to prevent an agricultural disaster. The ship's drive has been damaged, rendering it only capable of sub-light drive. To get the vital cylinder to Destiny in time, Blake offers to take it in the Liberator, leaving Avon and Cally behind to help with repairs and to detect the murderer. As they begin their investigations, more murders occur. With the cylinder safe on board the Liberator, what can the murderer hope to gain?

DuelTravis' forces ensnare the Liberator in a lethal trap in orbit around a remote and unknown planet. However, at the moment the attack is launched, the inhabitants of the planet freeze time and abduct Blake and Jenna, Travis and one of his Mutoid crew, taking them down to the planet surface to settle their differences in a duel without high technology weapons. Blake and Jenna must try to stay alive against Travis' cunning - but should Blake kill Travis if he gets the chance?

Project AvalonBlake and the crew head toward a Federation planet with an active resistance unit, headed by the mysterious Avalon. Unfortunately, Travis and his Mutoid crew arrive first, and ambush a resistance meeting, killing most of the activists and capturing Avalon. Blake and Jenna teleport down, find a survivor and determine to rescue Avalon before she breaks down under interrogation and names all the resistance leaders in the entire sector! However, Travis's scientists are constructing an android double of Avalon, with the specific intention to let the double be rescued, taken aboard the Liberator and then either destroy it or capture it. Can the crew survive this latest threat?

BreakdownGan's aggression limiter malfunctions, placing his life in jeopardy. The only source of the replacement parts, and medical expertise, needed to save Gan is a Federation-aligned medical and

weapons research centre. The crew must persuade the researchers to treat Gan, without putting themselves in danger. They attempt to pass the Liberator off as an advanced Federation prototype ship to deflect suspicion. However, they do not fool the Doctor who must treat Gan, who contacts the Federation and delays the operation to buy time for the Federation Pursuit ships that are coming!

BountyThe crew land on the planet Lindor, where a deposed leader has been held in exile. Blake and Cally ask him to return to his people. Meanwhile, a ship in distress is helped by the Liberator, only to encounter a group of bounty hunters who seek to turn Blake and the Liberator over to the Federation.

DeliveranceWhen a small shuttle craft is wracked by an explosion after leaving a Federation base, the crew of the Liberator rescue a survivor, who begs them to fly to a distant planet where his father is dying because the batteries in his cardiac-support device are running out of power. The crew discover that the Federation has agreed to pay an enormous sum of money for an incredibly advanced portable supercomputer called Orac, that promises to be able to outperform all the Federation's computers put together. Blake agrees to go on a mission of mercy, and the survivor then dies, leaving them to deliver the batteries to the dying inventor.

OracBlake and his group decide Orac could swing the balance of power for or against them, and decide they must have it. They seek out the reclusive computer genius who has invented the portable supercomputer called Orac, with the Federation in hot pursuit. Eventually, they manage to frustrate the Federation's plans and take Orac themselves. However, the inventor is killed by the Federation soldiers in the scrap. Back on board the Liberator, Blake asks for a demonstration of Orac's capabilities, and in response Orac throws up a video clip of the near future predicting the Liberator's total destruction. This is the season cliffhanger. RedemptionBlake is troubled by Orac's prediction of the destruction of the Liberator and rewatches the explosion time and time again. Eventually, Avon points out that the starfield is unique and they can work out where it is. They soon find themselves under attack and the Liberator refuses to respond to their instructions. The Liberator is boarded and the crew taken captive by the computer dominated race who originally built the ship. Held prisoner on a large space station, they escape, meet up with the resistance and try to retake control of the Liberator and escape. In the escape, an identical sister ship to the Liberator is destroyed. This explains the earlier prediction.

ShadowThe crew decide to investigate a deadly drug that is being circulated on many worlds called Shadow. Cally suffers from a mysterious ailment which appears to be linked in some way to the drug. They find evidence of a major crime syndicate and soon discover that it is being run by the Federation.

WeaponBlake finds out that the Federation are developing a new deadly weapon that can attack the DNA of a given person. He tries to infiltrate the research station where it is being developed and capture it.

HorizonHorizon is a small planet on the very edge of the known Galaxy that has become a puppet government for the Federation who are mining a valuable mineral there. The extensive security grid leads to each of the parties that go down from the liberator being captured almost as soon as they get there. Can they stop the flow of this important mineral to the Federation?

Pressure PointGan dies when Blake's plan to attack the Federation's main computer centre turns out to be a trap placed for them by Servalan.

TrialTravis is placed on trial for crimes against the Federation (namely the mass murder of civilians, during a planetary attack). He is found guilty and sentenced to death --- but an attack by the Liberator causes enough confusion to allow him to escape... Review by Mark Chase, Mark=Chase%Ops%Ops=Akl@bangate.compaq.com

KillerThe Liberator encounters an ancient Earth ship drifting in deep space. Cally senses something evil on it. So when Federation scientists on the planet Fosforon decide to bring the ship down to the ground, Blake anonymously sends them a message urging caution. Meanwhile, Avon and Vila have teleported down to Fosforon in order to steal an important piece of Federation cypher equipment they need. They are aided by the base commander, who owes Avon for a favor he did long ago. But the commander secretly sends a message to Servalan informing her of the whereabouts of the Liberator. Blake's warning is useless. The Fosforon scientists discover a seemingly recently-dead body on board the very, very, very ancient Earth ship and cautiously perform an autopsy on it. But the body wakes and kills the scientist in its immediate facility. Then an airborne virus spreads through the base like wildfire. It seems that a certain alien race left the ship drifting as bait, so that humans would contract the virus (effective only on travelers in space) and stay on Earth (instead of swarming through the rest of the Universe). The entire base's population dies. Blake, Avon, and Vila only just get out in time. But they have the cypher crystal and are not infected by the virus. They leave a message for anyone coming to Fosforon warning them of the plague. (In other words, they save Servalan's life -- she is coming due to the base commander's message -- and the lives of all the other space-traveling humans in the galaxy.)

Meanwhile, unable to resist the lure of the gambling world, Villa and Avon shrink Orac to 1/8th of his size and go to make their fortune by beating an undefeated chess champion, with death being the penalty... Review by Mark Chase, Mark=Chase%Ops%Ops=Akl@bangate.compaq.com

The KeeperThe crew attempt to track down the location of the Federation's main computer centre, Star One. The location has always been a closely guarded secret and people assigned there have agreed never to return - to spend the rest of their lives tending Star One's computer systems. Blake and his crew search for the one possible lead to Star One, a doctor who treated the only remaining person in the Federation who knows where Star One is (before his death). Their search for the true location takes them to a primitive world, where a cryptic rhyme holds the answer.

Star OneUpon finally reaching Star One, they discover that Travis is aiding an alien invasion from the Andromeda galaxy by dismantling the barrier maintained by Star One. Now instead of destroying it, they repair the damage Travis has done, warn the Federation, and attempt to hold the invasion fleet until the rest of the Federation forces can arrive. AftermathAfter the Liberator holds off the Andromedan forces until the Federation could arrive, it is so badly damaged that the crew have to abandon it. After some days the auto-repair circuits make it serviceable again. Avon crashlands on an isolated world inhabited by vicious savages and a reclusive weapons expert and his daughters. After some trouble, Avon and Dana, one of the daughters, manage to teleport back to the Liberator (the others are killed). To Avon's horror, there is already a team of Federation storm troopers aboard, led by Captain Del Tarrant and Section Leader Cleg.

PowerplayAvon and Dana find themselves confronted by Tarrant's Federation troops. Attempting to hide his identity, Avon passes himself off as a loyal Federation citizen, who managed to survive the battle with the Andromedans.... Alone, on a hostile planet, nursing a broken arm ... things couldn't be worse for Vila - or so he thinks. After repeatedly radioing his extreme peril to Zen, he is captured by natives - who look evil but turn out to be friendly. Then, just when things seem to be getting better - he and his native friends are captured by apparently civilised people with high technology - who look friendly, but are after more than his charm! Meanwhile, Zen autopilots the Liberator to Vila's location - not allowing any interference from non-crew members. Frustrated at not being able to take control of the ship, the captain of the stormtroopers places Avon and Dana under guard. When they escape, they discover that their guard is already dead. Someone appears to be trying to help them .... but who? Review by Mark=Chase%Ops%Ops=Akl@bangate.compaq.com

Volcano

Dawn of the Gods

Harvest of KairosAn old friend of Tarrant named Jarvic claims to Servelan that any fool could take the Liberator with 3 ships. Servelan gives him his chance after failing herself yet again. Jarvic lays out a trap, and the crew fall for it. Servilan gains control of the Liberator but must transport the crew down to a small planet where strange creatures threaten them. Will the crew survive on the hostile planet and will they get the Liberator back again..... Review by Matthew Hook (Matthew.Hook.1@uni.massey.ac.nz) His comments: A must see episode for those tacky but love-em special effects used for the creature Kairos. It had me in fits of laughter for ages. I like the way that Jarvic guy deals to Servelan. "Woman you are beautiful..." silence. Then he grabs and kisses her. Very amusing.

City at the Edge of WorldTarrant is contacted by some traders who need the help of a skilled thief to break into an ancient city on a primitive world, and volunteers Vila to do the work. Things take a turn for the worse when it turns out the traders are led by Baban the Butcher, number two on the Federations most wanted list (after Blake). Succeeding in getting in, accompanied by an attractive female assassin from Baban's team, she and Vila are transported to a beautiful unspoilt planet far from the original city. Vila has a tough decision to make after he falls for her... This is our favourite episode! Colin Baker as Baban The Butcher is a cameo that we could watch time and time again. Also, Vila gets to be a bit less worm-like than usual.

Children of AuronThe people of Auron, living in self-imposed isolation from the rest of the galaxy, believe that they have achieved an idyllic state of existence. Their belief is shattered when Servalan, under the pretense of giving aid, introduces a bacteria into their atmosphere - against which they have no immunity. This bacteria scythes through the population, threatening the populous with extinction. Cally's twin sister contacts her through telepathy, and the Liberator rushes to help (unaware that Servalan is there - and that she is after the ship). Servalan then approaches the leaders of Auron offering a possible vaccine - with the ulterior motive of using their 'cloning' techniques - to make copies of herself .....

Death-WatchWhen Tarrant's brother is selected as the ritual gladiator in a fight to the death for the honour of his adopted homeworld, the crew of the Liberator come to ensure fair play. When Tarrant's brother is killed by his adversary, it becomes apparent that this adversary was actually an android.

Determined to expose the deception, Tarrant challenges the victor to a further fight, the question is can he defeat the android...

TerminalAvon believes that he's finally tracked down Blake and takes the Liberator to the planet Terminal. Avon is being very secretive since he's following a set of contacts which he believes may be a trap and refuses to let the others know what he's doing. Unwilling to risk loosing the contact he takes the Liberator through a cloud of unknown material which starts coating the hull of the ship. All too soon many of the Liberators vital systems start failing and Terminal turns out to be a trap carefully laid by Servelan. RescueStranded on Terminal, both the base and Servalan's ship are booby trapped, and explode, killing Cally, and damaging Orac. A mysterious stranger, Dorian, and his glamourous sidekick, Soolin, arrive on Terminal, seemingly friendly, and rescue the crew of the Liberator. They proceed to Dorian's base on the barren planet Xenon. But Dorian is not all he seems. He wants Orac to help him perfect his teleport system, and secondly he wants Avon, Vila, Dayna and Tarrant as fodder for his regeneration program deep down in the depths of the Xenon base. For once Vila does the right thing and brings a gun down to help out. After killing Dorian, the enigmatic Soolin decides to join them. Review by Nick Alex (Nick.Alex@psemail.ps.net)

PowerThe crew need to get to Scorpio to get supplies, but can't penetrate the door to the launch hatch. It will only open to Dorian's voice. Worse still, if he doesn't reset the lock every 48 hours, it will trigger an explosion that will destroy the base. Meanwhile Avon is looking for crystals to complete the teleport systems when he is attacked by a bunch of ancient tribesman who are guardians of technology way beyond their comprehension. He inadvertently gets challenged to go into battle in an ancient fighting ritual. Review by Nick Alex (Nick.Alex@psemail.ps.net)

TraitorAvon is alarmed at the speed of the Federation's spread across a nearby star system, with apparently little resistance. The reason is a pacification drug called Pylene-50, and the crew decide to go to Helotrix (enmeshed in a civil war) to recover the drug and develop an antidote. However they get more than they bargain for and discover an old adversary, now calling herself Sleer. Review by Nick Alex (Nick.Alex@psemail.ps.net)

StardriveHaving got a new ship, a base, and a new teleport system, the rebels now need the engine to give them the edge that the Liberator had in terms of speed. Dayna discovers a mystery explosion, which Orac reveals was caused by a one-man-ship travelling at immense speed. They work out that it belongs to a band of `Hells Angels in Space', and decide to find out if they'll join the Resistance.
