Spoiler warning!

No attempt is made to alter the following information to remove or hide any "spoilers" for any episodes aired, books, comic books, and so forth.  This document covers the five seasons of Babylon 5, plus the four TNT movies and the first (and perhaps only) season of  Crusade. Moreover, it also covers all published novels, short stories (by JMS) and comics.   Published gaming materials are only referred to when they do not completely contradict other published materials.

Since most of this information is compiled from other sources, I don't feel as though I can copyright it.  Feel free to use it as you wish, within the bounds of other copyrights on this material. If you like the occasional hypothesis and supposition that I have left strewn about within, please recall where you found it since those are legally mine.

Babylon 5 and related concepts are the property of Warner Brothers Domestic Television Distribution and J. Michael Straczynski. (Straczynski is referred to as "JMS" throughout this document.)

Notes on sources:

The sources used for this were the episodes and information revealed by JMS on Genie and Usenet. The codes in parentheses indicate the source.

Following Larry Nemecek's precedent for coding his Star Trek Concordances, items marked with a /v contain information based on visual clues such as computer screen displays; items marked with an /s contains information based on a script or other version of an episode. Following my own precedent, UT: indicates a Universe Today headline, and B: indicates comments overheard in background dialogue ("background walla"). Other abbreviations:

• FAQ = Babylon 5 Frequently Asked Questions List
• GEL = Babylon 5 Grid Epsilon Log
• JMSD = JMS's digest of postings
• JMSG = JMS's GEnie postings
• JMSU = JMS's USENET postings
• JMSM = JMS's material in the Official Monthly Magazine of Babylon 5
• OM = non-JMS material in the Official Monthly Magazine Babylon 5
• TFAQ = Technical FAQ
• GAME = Babylon Project Role-Playing Game

The above materials will be superseded should different information be broadcast. The use of information in novels and comics is based on JMS's statements that these are "canon". Even so, they will be superseded as appropriate by material actually broadcast.  Please note that Dates given in The Babylon Project Game , and The Babylon 5 Security Manual are either given elsewhere, or contradict those given by JMS.

Finally, all items marked with an * are conjecture based on the information on hand, and may be further explained by a description in brackets.

Notes on Minbari Cycles:

Based on information in Babylon Squared, A Late Delivery from Avalon, Atonement, and the novel To Dream in the City of Sorrows (as well as the novel Clark's Law), it may be assumed that a Minbari Cycle is approximately 1.35 years. (The interval from July 2245 to Nov 2258 / Feb 2259 was ten cycles long).

Information on the B5 Screen saver suggests (in describing Delenn's and Lennier's ages) that a Cycle is 0.7 years. But in this case, it is more likely (based on statements regarding Delenn's age in JMSU) that the age comparison is effective age, not a literal chronological comparison.

c15 Billion

• Creation of the Universe. [Ya gotta start somewhere]

c10 Billion

• Galaxies form.

c?? Billion

• There is The First One.
• Shadows evolve ["They were old when even the Ancients were young" ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum"); "The first of these Ancients were the Shadows" ("Matters of Honor")].
• The First Ones, the eldest alien species evolve, those who "Walk among the stars like Giants" ("In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum").

c1 Million BCE

• The age of the Thirdspace device ("Thirdspace").
• The First Ones begin to disappear, some traveling beyond the stars ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum"). They leave behind the Vorlons and the Shadows to shepherd the younger species along; the Vorlons following the rigid paths of Order, while the Shadows prefer the more explosive evolutionary path of Chaos and Conflict ("Za'Ha'Dum", "Falling towards Apotheosis")
• Over the next million years there are a series of wars between the remaining "First Ones" (especially the Vorlons) and the Shadows ("The Coming of Shadows"). The Shadows are often driven from Za'Ha'Dum, but always return; Lorien says they believe they are "paying their respects" to him, though he believes that both they and the Vorlons "no longer understand" ("Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum", "Where is Mr. Garibaldi")
• The "Rules of Engagement", mediated by The First One are established between the Vorlons and The Shadows (N - Invoking Darkeness). [The date on this is unlcear, other than "eons ago", but it's likely between this time and 8000 BCE]

c500,000 BCE

• The Vindrizi are created as a species of "symbiotes" to record everything, observing events all over the galaxy so that others can learn about the past when all the records have been lost in the next dark age ("Exogenesis").

c8000 BCE

• The last Great War between the Shadows and the First Ones ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum").
• The Soul Hunters imprison the entire planet of Ragla ("River of Souls").
• Ceti 4's civilization dies out ("War Zone").

????

• The Vorlons visit lesser interstellar species, implanting them with the idea of glowing beings of light ("Fall of Night"). [No specific date was given, but it appears to have covered many millennia.]

c.5000 BCE

• An unknown species begins building a network of jump gates across the galaxy (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows). [Information in OM (August 1999) suggests that this was the Vorlons].

c3750 BCE

• Rathenn uses this date to describe when the Minbari began to decline in population (C-1)[JMSC indicated that Rathenn was either mistaken or lying when he told Sinclair this].

c250

• The Minbari begin to decline in population ("Points of Departure"). [Something begins to weaken the Minbari, "the power holding the Shadows in check." (JMSU)]

515

• Approximate date of the Battle of Camlan ("A Late Delivery from Avalon").

[Unknown dates]

• ????  The Taratimude receive the technomage tech from the Shadows (N-Casting Shadows).

c1050

• The Hyach pass religious laws making it immoral to intermarry with the Hyach-doh ("Secrets of the Soul").

c1100

• The Minbari first begin to travel space (JMSU). They discover the ancient network of jump gates (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows).

about 1200

• Wierden, one of the last of the Taratimude forms the technomages into a cohesive group (N-Casting Shadows).
• The technomage Osiyrin studies the Drahk (N-Casting Shadows).
• A minor Centauri noble leads the extermination of  the other sentient race on their world, the Xon ("Parliament of Dreams", N - Summoning Light).  He proclaims himself as the first emperor of the  Centauri Republic ("Objects at Rest"). He receives the blessing of the technomage Frazur and two other technomages (N-Casting Shadows, "The Geometry of Shadows", N - Summoning Light).
• After the Battle of Scoria Plains, the Centauri emperor Morell visits with Malia, the prophetess of Tuwain (S-"The Shadow of His Thoughts"). [The date is given as 1200 years. Centauri years do not appear to be the same as Earth years.]

c1250

• A highly advanced space-faring society flourishes on Ikara 7. After being invaded repeatedly, they build 12 organic technology warriors to protect them ("Infection").
• The Markab and several other species appear to have some experience of Soldier's of Darkness ("Long Dark").
• The Shadows occupy a continent on Narn's Southern Hemisphere, where they are observed by G'Quon. He writes of this "Ancient Race" and their Great War at the Rim of "Known Space", centered around Za'Ha'Dum ("Revelations") in his Sacred Book. He includes pictures of Shadow Warriors and Shadow vessels ("The Long Dark", "Matters of Honor") [He manages to identify the location of the stars near Za'Ha'Dum accurately enough that G'Kar is able to trace them and visit them ("Revelations")] After the Narns start attacking the Shadows, the Shadows retaliate by killing off all the Narn "mindwalkers" (telepaths) (JSMU).
• The Taratimude technomages fight for the Shadows (N-Casting Shadows).
• On an unnamed planet, the population is subjected to the Shadow plague after denying the Shadows access to their world as a Base. The population goes into suspended animation ("Racing the Night").
• An alliance of worlds, including the few remaining First Ones (including the Vorlons) and the Minbari attack the Shadows in what will later be remembered as a Great War ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum").
• Nothing of specific significance occurs on Earth, although at least two Shadow ships crash in the Solar System (at Mars and Ganymede) ("Message from Earth").
• The Great War begins to go badly for the Minbari, et al. Their greatest 'star base' is destroyed by the Shadows. Babylon 4 is brought back from the future to serve as a as a replacement base of operations during a war between Light and Darkness, seeming to appear from out of nowhere ("Babylon Squares", "War Without End", pts 1&2). Accompanying Babylon 4 is Jeffrey David Sinclair, who undergoes the "Chrysalis" process to become Valen, a "Minbari, not Born of Minbari" ("War Without End", pt.2).
• Valen subdues the Warrior Caste, establishes the Grey Council (JMSU) as "The Chosen One"  (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows), and establishes the Anla'Shok ("Rangers") to fight the Shadows  (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows).
• The Alliance against the Shadows destroy 2/3ds of the Shadow forces, driving them from Za'Ha'Dum ("War Without End", pt.1).
• Valen's appearance signals that Minbari Souls are going somewhere else, "going missing" [this may be when they start to actually notice a change] ("War Without End", JMSU).
• The B4 Station survives the war, but doesn't last much longer than that (JMSU). [Actually, this is not entirely true, since it remains intact until it is discovered in 2261 (C-"In Valen's name").]
• Valen transforms the Anla'Shok into an army of watchers to keep an eye out for the return of the Shadows  (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows).
• It is possible that Sinclair finds Catharine Sakai in the past (N-To Dream in the City of Sorrows).

1250-1350

• After the War, Valen had children. The children, fearing persecution because they weren't pure Minbari, fled Minbar until after Valen's death ("Atonement").
• Sometime during this time, the Taratimude wipe themselves out (N-Casting Shadows).   The lineage of Wierden still revive the tech from the Shadows (N-Casting Shadows).

c1260

• The Shadows bury their capitols ships in preparation for the next War, including one on Mars, and one on Ganymede (JMSM).

• ????   The technomage Kwa-Kiri ruled an empire (N-Casting Shadows).
• ????   The technomage Neldonic ruled an empire (N-Casting Shadows).

c1350

• Valen writes notes to Delenn and Sinclair ("War Without End", pt.1, JMSU).
• Valen "Goes Beyond" (JMSU, N-To Dream in the City of Shadows); his body is never found ("Atonement") [Foreshadowing Sheridan's end ("Sleeping in Light").
• The Children of Valen return to Minbar and have children of their own, spreading human genes through the Minbari population for the next thousand years ("Atonement").

c1450

• The modern Hyach records extend no earlier than this point. The Hyach-Doh are extinct by this time ("Secrets of the Soul").

c1750

• An ancient species dies out, first building, then leaving Varn as Guardian of the Great Machine of Epsilon 3 ("Voice in the Wilderness", pt.2, "War Without End", pt.2).

1940

• 14 November   The Germans bomb Coventry ("In the Shadow of Za'Ha'Dum").

c1950

The "Gray" styles of aliens shown suggests that not all the contact reports we've had so far have been hoaxes. Although they appear to be similar to the Streib, (JMSU) has been pretty specific that they are not the same species. It may be that these are the Vree.]

["When you've known someone for 12, almost 15 years..."][He might also have met her during his days at the academy since Sakai states that Sinclair's been reading the writings of Tennyson since his days in the academy ("Mind War").]
• Susan Ivanova becomes obsessed with the radical neo-Communist Kushoyev. She finally meets him, is humiliated by him and is defended by her Father ("TKO").
• Londo Mollari represents the Centauri on Earth (N-In the Beginning). [Depending on how long "35 years" is to Londo Mollari.]

2245

• About March   Kadroni becomes unable to function in the Grey Council. Dukhat pushes his aide, Delenn, as her replacement (N-In the Beginning). Delenn has served the Grey Council as an acolyte, and as Dukhat's Aide ("Atonement"). Delenn begins to meditate (N-In the Beginning).
• Early July   Delenn becomes a fully participating Member of the Grey Council [The year this occurs is based on a JMS message that somehow differentiates between "Standing beside you as one of the Nine" ("All Alone in the Night") and "Being on the Council" ("Severed Dreams"); as well as the assumptions explained under B2 about how long a Minbari "Cycle" lasts; however, the episode "Atonement" makes it fairly clear that the contact with the humans is her first action as Satai, or one of the Nine].
• 12 July   The Grey Council's cruiser in a group of three (or four) ships encounters a human convoy fleet, including EAS Prometheus (under Captain Michael Jankowski), EAS Hyperion, and DSEV Amundsen (an EA Explorer Class vessel). Only Delenn can identify what species the ships belong to. Notably on hand are a group of Soul Hunters. The Minbari religious leader Dukhat realizes that the Minbari practice of approaching with gun ports open could be dangerous, but before his order to close them can be carried out, the Earth ships attack; Gunnery Sgt. David McIntyre of the Prometheus fires the first shots of the confrontation that destroys the two Minbari ships, and severely damages the Grey Council's Cruiser; Dukhat is killed. A Soul Hunter is on hand for the death, but is prevented from taking Dukhat's soul by the Grey Council ("Soul Hunter"). Enraged over the death of Dukhat, Delenn gives the order that starts the Earth-Minbari War. The Minbari ships open fire, and a number of the Earth ships are destroyed. The rest of the Human ships flee as the remaining Minbari ships hesitate, waiting to see what happened to Dukhat. When it is learned that he was killed, they take off and pursue the ships back to an Earth base. Initially, Captain Jankowski explains that they had encountered hostiles in an attempt to cover his actions (N-Clark's Law, JMSU, "Midnight on the Firing Line", "Legacies", "Revelations", "A Late Delivery From Avalon", "Atonement", N-In the Beginning, "In the Beginning"). [The war is said to have lasted "about 5 years" in some sources (JMSU). However, it took place "15 years ago to the day" according to ("Late Delivery from Avalon" (occurring in 2260)). According to (N-Clark's Law), Luis Santiago is a vice president under Madame Elizabeth Levy (N-In the Beginning gives her name as Beth Levy, JMSM gives her name), the contact ship was the DSEV Amundsen (N-Clark's Law), and the date was 12 Nov 2242. JSMD states clearly that both the Amundsen and the Prometheus were involved. "In the Beginning" places the contact date as "35 years" before 2278 (or 2243-4) My date is backdated from the estimated date of ("Late Delivery from Avalon").]
• Following the death of Dukhat, and the final vote of Delenn, a Holy War set against the Humans. The Worker class goes along with Warrior Caste and part of the Religious Caste. The remainder of the Religious Caste are unsure, but are unable to raise sufficient objections to the war to stop it. The Minbari fleet begins its movement towards Earth by destroying the colony at Jericho 3 (N-In the Beginning). Some time is taken up while the Minbari pull their forces together, establish supply lines and so on, but they work quickly (JMSU).
• Earthforce strips Jankowski of rank, and tries him for his attack on the Minbari. They offer to turn him over to the Minbari, but this is rejected (N-In the Beginning).
• Planetary Draft begins ("The Coming of Shadows").
• Steven Franklin returns to Earthforce (N-In the Beginning).
• During the war, the Death Penalty was in use (N-Clark's Law).
• Presumably, Garibaldi crawls out of his bottle long enough to serve as a "GROPO" during the War, since his Unit was attacked, and pretty well wiped out ("Long Dark").
• Steven Franklin is thrown in prison for not turning over his notes on Minbari biology to Earthforce (N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning").
• In an engagement between the Drala Fi ("Black Star"), the Minbari flagship/War Cruiser, and a number of Earth Force vessels, including the EAS Lexington under Capt. Roger Sterns, Ganya Ivanov, is killed ("Eyes", JMSU, N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning"). The Lexington is badly damaged, and Capt. Sterns is killed. John Sheridan, first officer on the Lexington, destroys the Black Star by mining an asteroid field and then transmitting a distress signal ("Points of Departure", "There All The Honor Lies", JMSU, N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning") [Sheridan explicitly states this takes place in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter].
• There is an attempt at peace negotiations between Sheridan, Steven Franklin and Lenonn, head of the Rangers, aided by G'Kar. It is disrupted when the Centauri attack the meeting and kill the Ranger Lenonn (N-In the Beginning; "In the Beginning") [Dates of events even during the novel are a bit tricky to determine, but the aired information is pretty clear about this being near the beginning of the war].

????

• Rush act passed? [JMS has said that this was during the E-M War]
• Europa mining strikes result in the Rush Act being enacted ("By Any Means Necessary"). [It has to have been passed before it can have been enacted]

c2246

• A deep space "listening post" of 47 humans is established on a moon orbiting a world being used by the Minbari as a Command and Control post. [This world is more or less between Earth and Epsilon 3]. The Listening Post is set up in the ruins of an old city. 46 of the 47 are killed by the Shadow Warrior they wake up. The Shadow hitches a ride on a passing space vessel, the USS Copernicus ("Long Dark"). [The actual date is conjectural, as it "happened in the war"]

2247

Sinclair meets Laurel Takashima, head of Mars security (JMSG).

• ???? (Day 1)   Sinclair hires Garibaldi to ferry him and his team on a search mission. (C-5) [First time they meet; The Comic places this in 2255, Kirkish's comments in ("Message from Earth") suggests a date of 2253. It takes place during the "Martian Winter", which, according to Brett Feinblatt will be centered on April.]
• ???? (Day 2)   An IPX team unburies a Shadow ship buried under the sands of Syria Planum for at least a 1000 yrs. A worker touches it with his bare hand and dies ("Message from Earth").
• ???? (Day 6)   IPX tells Dr. Kirkish and the others to move out, and a number of unmarked shuttles head in for 6 days ("Message from Earth").

Finally they get out, and spot a Shadow ship digging out the one Kirkish unearthed. They also discover a Psi-Corps base on Mars, involved in some sort of secret project with the Shadows. Talia is one of many subjects of this project (C8, "Message from Earth"). [It is not clear that this project is actually the same project that made Talia into a "sleeper". Obviously, though, by this time there is some Shadow influence in the EA Government.]
• 12 July   Sheridan is involved in something he'd rather not have stories told about ("A Distant Star").
• *Talia Winters serves on Mars with the Penal system. She soon leaves to work for the Political Bureau? [Pretty much conjecture based on some dialogue in ("Quality of Mercy") and JMSU]

There he meets Lyta Alexander, who is interning with the Psi Cops. Bester engages in illegal scans of civilians, and eventually finds the killer, an Adamite cultist. Rather than simply kill him, Bester twists his mind, eventually trapping him in a cell in a secret facility on Beta, straitjacketed 24 hours a day to keep him from clawing out his own eyes to stop the nightmare visions only he can see ("Face of the Enemy", N-Deadly Relations).
• *Rumors of a "Rogue" element in the government begin to spread ("A Spider in the Web").
• Burell accidentally shuts off some of her own tech implants (N-Casting Shadows).

2254

• Babylon 4 goes on Line. 24 Hours later a small group of group of Shadow vessels attempt to destroy it. They are stopped by the White Star. Sheridan is "lost in time". [Based on Kranz's statements to Sinclair, I assume that this is when the station's "Time Track" system begins to go haywire.] Cloaked by the EMP burst from the destroyed Shadow bomb, the White Star lands on the station, punches through the hull and the landing teams split up ("War Without End", pt.1). Ivanova and Marcus are nearly caught, alerting the Babylon 4 Security forces to the presence of "hostiles" on board. A false Hull Breach warning frees up the area of B4 connecting to the Power Core to the White Star teams. After Zathras sees Sheridan reappear once, he sets up a "blue suit" to help contain the Captain. He reappears and remains. Sheridan and Sinclair head into the central power core to finish stabilizing the Station while Ivonova begins rigging a false reading to convince the B4 Crew that their core was unstable. Noting that there is a drop in power production, Major Kranz orders an increase of power. This triggers the Time Travel mechanism. Sheridan is again lost in time. ("War Without End", pt.2). A single shuttle, carrying "Jinxo" leaves the station in time to see B4 vanish ("Grail").

Zathras is captured, and Major Kranz is alerted to his presence before Sinclair and Garibaldi arrive [Kranz suggests that Zathras' capture took place *before* "all hell broke loose"]. *Time Flash* (Garibaldi defending the station). Delenn finds Sheridan and changes time stabilizers with him and dons the space suit. Zathras meets Sinclair and Sheridan. The disappearance of B4 is apparently explained by Zathras, as the station is pulled from the past "to be used as a base in a Great War between Light and Darkness". Zathras claims to be from "4993" (in some unidentified dating system"). Ivanova takes over C&C as the evacuation of the station proceeds.

• Early August   And Now For a Word [The Date is an estimate, based on the fact that the "36 Hours" Episode *airs* 16 Sep 2259, but giving them enough time to produce the episode to air.

Mollari tries to convince the Tuchanq to accept Centauri assistance in exchange for permitting a Centauri force to remain on their moon. The Tuchanq are suspicious and decide to wait a bit. One Tuchanq, D'Arc, is stunned and goes insane, killing a visiting human. Earthdome decides that this is to be the first time death sentence is applied, and sends an executioner [Aboard a ship that clearly takes too little time to arrive]. G'Kar attacked in core shuttle by Lurkers wearing Changeling nets to look like Tuchanq. Defeats them and kills all but one. Executioner killed accidentally.
