Babylon
5 2nd Edition
Lurker's Guide to Freedom Station
Before there was a Babylon 5, before the League of
Non-Aligned Worlds had a place to bring all their commerce, there was Tirrith Transfer
Point Alpha. Years pass, wars are waged, and the station took on a new name
Freedom
Station. Although not as popular as other stations, positioned far away from the core of
the galactic governments, Freedom Station is a massively popular stopping point for a
specific type of space traveller raiders.
This huge, slowly spinning cylinder of dense polymers and
mass-produced alloys is home to over five thousand permanent residents of Tirrith, Hyach
and a multitude of other species. At least, that is what the official census says. That
number is roughly ten times too small, and those who commonly visit or stay on Freedom
Station know the difference to what the records read and what is really going on.
This book is a guide to the people and happenings of this
controversial space station. It looks at the Leagues original version of the Babylon
Project, how it failed, and where its new residents took it once they settled with the
locals. Freedom Station is a powerful reminder that law and justice mean drastically
different things depending on where in the galaxy you go, and who really runs the
spacelanes away from the policing of the larger governments.
