Babylon 5 Vol. 4.03: The Long Night/Into The Fire

The last of it's kind, the huge Babylon 5 space station is the last, best hope for victory for an alliance of the galaxy's leading races against an ancient evil. THE LONG NIGHT A terrible price must be paid by a few brave souls to lure the Vorlon and Shadow battle fleets into pen conflict for the first time - and last - time. The place: Coriannis 6. The price of failure: 6 billion innocent lives on the first day, followed by countless billions more. As Sheridan plots his enemies downfall, Ivanova and Lorien scout the galaxy from the surviving First Ones, beings so ancient they walked the space between stars when the galaxy was young, beings as old as the Vorlons and the Shadows. The risk they take seems tiny to what Londo must do if he is to finally dispose of Cartagia. He has a cunning plan... INTO THE FIRE The Shadows have taken the bait and are hurtling toward Coriannis 6... and a massive Vorlon fleet backed by a Planet Killer! The Alliance fleet lies in ambush between the ancient enemies, and a colossal engagement of three mighty fleets erupts in an orgy of fiery destruction. As the battle reaches its frenzied peak, the final mystery of the Vorlons and the Shadows becomes clear, and the way lies open to a better future for the galaxy. There's only one problem: did you really expect the Vorlons and the Shadows to go quitetly? © PTN Consortium
