Babylon 5 : season 1 episodes

(spoilers)

[Londo Molari] I was there at the dawn of the third age of mankind. It began in the Earth year 2257 with the last of the Bablyon stations located deep in neutral space. It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats, and travellers from a hundred worlds. It could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risk because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace.
Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form. A dream of a galaxy without war, where species could live side-by-side in mutual respect. A dream that was endangered as never before by one man on a mission of destruction.
Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story.

Pilot. The Gathering: The Vorlon ambassador is nearly killed by an assassin shortly after arriving at the station, and Commander Sinclair is the prime suspect.

[Sinclair] It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth/Minbari war. The Babylon project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home, for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers; humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night.
This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations.
The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
