It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's 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 wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

It was the dawn of the third age of piratekind – ten years after the Napster-Limewire War.
The Pirate Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and nerds can download their media peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for seeders, leechers, entrepreneurs, and youtubers.
Humans and nerds, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand terabytes of spinning metal…all alone in the night.
It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for streaming.
This is the story of the last of the Piracy stations. The year is 2026. The name of the place is Babylon 5’s youtube channel.
😆👏 Was totally hearing that in Sinclair's voice too.
I have bad news for you. More like 20 years.
It failed.
