useful information

The space battles in this TV movie are much faster than in the other movies and the TV series. For example, there is a scene in which you can see earth destroyers literally sprinting, while they have seemed slow and clumsy up to now.

The film takes up the theme of the techno magicians who appear for the first time in the episode “A Question of Color” of the second season of the television series.

Babylon 5 itself is only briefly the setting in this film and part of the usual regular crew cannot be seen either.

The film forms a transition to the plot background of the spin-off television series Crusade , the content of which is directly linked to the events and the rather negative outcome. The film introduces two main characters from the series: the technomage Galen and Dureena Nafeel , who is the only one of her people who survived an attack by the Drakh on her home planet. The series' spaceship - the Excalibur - can also be seen here for the first time.
