The Babylon 5 Station Guide (2e)
 |
It is a time of danger and of hope¸ a time of unhealed wounds and new opportunities. It is the dawn of the third age of mankind¸ a dawn whose light casts shadows of the past as indistinct portents of things to come. It is the year 2258¸ and the human race¸ still beaten and bloody 11 years after its second great interstellar war¸ has built what may be humanity"""s finest achievement.
"This achievement is not a ship¸ not a weapon¸ not a tool of death of any kind. It is something far grander. It is the galaxy's last¸ best hope for peace. It is Babylon 5.
"Five miles of metal and polymer¸ Babylon 5 was born of cutting-edge science and knowledge. Upon this technological stage¸ however¸ are played out the oldest of stories """ of prejudice and vengeance¸ of cruelty and charity¸ of good intentions betrayed by ambition and the price of forgotten history.
"This box set contains the ultimate guide to the Babylon 5 diplomatic station. Every location¸ from stem to stern¸ has been mapped out and detailed. Every sector has been populated and examined. Three books and multiple poster-sized maps combine to make Babylon 5 a living¸ breathing place that will form the perfect centrepiece of any campaign. From the command officers of C&C to the worst criminals of DownBelow¸ Babylon 5 has never been treated to such detail.
