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. 

It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace.  This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations.  The year is 2258.  The name of the place is Babylon 5.

March 27 , 2004: First batch of HeroDesigner ship conversions are done! I've converted most of the existing ships to HD (v2.29). I have incorporated the ship's computers into the ship character (by means of a custom template), so now there is only one HD file to download/keep track of.

February 2 , 2004: Starfuries updated. I left some talents in the ships I forgot to delete while I was trying to incorporate the computers into the vehicle. DCV's for vehicle Size also corrected (thanks again Dan!). Web pages and HD downloads updated.

January 31, 2004: Started entering the existing starships into HeroDesigner. Look for the [HD] next to the ship names for the download links. Originally I built the computer into the ship write up., but now they are separate files (one zip download though).

November 25, 2003: Updated the Package Deals for the Narn and Centauri, based on some user feedback plus info from the Mongoose RPG. Also updated the sample Narn and Centauri characters. Also, built out the Earthforce PPG as a multipower so you can see the construction.

November 11, 2003: Gave the site a face lift for printability. As much as I liked the cool 'computer green' text on a black background, it did not make for pretty printing. Let me know how this style works for you.

November 07, 2003: Moved the server to its new home.

September 06, 2003: Updated Pak'ma'ra Package Deal based on a scene in the second season episode "And Now For a Word." Added Nashon, a Minbari scientist, to the sample characters section.

Updated the Icarus and Skylark write ups with some missing skills/programs/systems. Updated the rest of the ships (nothing new, just sorted the skills and program listings.)

May 23, 2003: Added the Thunderbolt Starfury. Minor revision to the Icarus Scout. Seems I didn't update her END reserves when I copied the template.

May 21, 2003: Major revisions to the existing ships. I've completed my armor and flight speed charts for the rest of the ships, hence the update. I've also added the Icarus Class/Type Scout ship - sure to be a prime candidate for the player character ship. Based on ship speed increases, I've also adjusted the numbers on the Jump Gate write up, but the mechanics remain the same.

April 26, 2003: Added a few more ships: some transports, the Centauri Fighter, and updated numbers and armor ratings on some of the other ships.

April 16, 2003: Added the Narn Heavy Fighter, and updated all the Starfuries with their cutting laser.

April 11, 2003: Minor updates to existing ships - forgot to set the computer skill rolls for the given INT values. Also updated the Jump Gate write up. The mechanics are unchanged, but I had a math error (didn't do the naked power advantage right).

April 9, 2003: Updated the existing ships, plus added the crew shuttle and the Omega Starfury. I've got my vehicle database working well now, so ships should be coming off the yards quickly. Also, stay tuned (probably this weekend) as I post some updates to other sections.

Mar 1, 2003: Added Martial Arts section.

Feb 21, 2003: Slight web site mods. Posted the first two ships as Hero vehicles - the Aurora and Badger Starfuries. See the Ships section.

Jan 25, 2003: Jump Gate write-up looks good. Started putting up some of the rules sections. Remember, these are all preliminary. I'd say they are about 80% polished.

Jan 19, 2003: Character rules are going well. Package deals for major races looks good. Sent first draft of jump gate write up to the temporary Hero forums for review.
