Babylon 5 Vol. 4.07: Rumours, Bargains and Lies/Moments of Transi

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. RUMOURS, BARGINS AND RUMOURS The ruthless Drakh were the dark servants of the vanquished Shadows, and without their former masters have resorted to piracy, using their superior technology to devastating effect. Captain Sheridan hatches a plan that will not only secure Alliance space from this threat but also rope in uncommitted races. Fear is the key... Meanwhile, the situation on Minbar worsens as the civil war between the Warrior and Religions castes takes its toll. To avert further slaughter, Delenn meets Neroon to discuss peace; but at what price? MOMENTS OF TRANSITION The civil strife on Minbar reaches its climax when Delenn stakes her life by challenging the leader of the Warrior caste to participate in an ancient, deadly ritual to prove who is worthier to lead their people. The fatal twist to this challenge? The winner dies screaming in the Starfire Wheel. On Babylon 5, Commander Ivannova reports that detachment of Earth cruisers have destroyed vessels carrying 10,000 wounded civilians who were fleeing Earth's killing zone. Outraged, Sheridan calls an emergency meeting of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds-it's time to fight back. © PTN Consortium
