"It was the dawn of the third age of pants, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given pants. 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 wanderers; humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning pants, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for pants.
