Babylon 5 is the last of the Babylon stations. Babylons 1 and 2 were sabotaged, Babylon 3 blew-up, and Babylon 4 was taken back 1000 years to fight in the Shadow War of that time. Babylon 5 went online in 2257 under the command of Jeffrey Sinclair, and the Earth Alliance. It served as a United Nations style place where the 5 major powers, and the League of Non-Aligned worlds, could work out their differences peacefully. In the year 2260, after further corruption on Earth, Babylon 5 succeeded from the Earth Alliance as an independent state, under Minbari protection. Since then it has become a key part of the fight against the Shadows, and the base of operations for the Earth resistance and Army of Light.

Engines: General Fusion Reactors
Weapons: Earthforce Defense Grid

Babylon 4 is the fourth station of the 5 station Babylon project. It's purpose was to serve as a place of commerce and diplomacy, located in sector 14. Just after coming online Babylon 4 mysteriously disappeared. It was later learned by the Grey Council that Babylon 4 was taken back in time 1000 years to serve as our command station in the Shadow War. When our ships encountered Babylon 4, 1000 years ago, we had no idea where it came from. We now know it was built in the future and taken back in time to help us in that great war. Without Babylon 4, three times as many Shadow ships would have survived to fight in the current Shadow war. Valen, who the Council knows was Jeffrey Sinclair, was found on this station 1000 years ago, and used it to fight the Shadows.
