The Shadow War is over. The Shadows left the galaxy, going beyond the Reach. The young races work together in peace and harmony as part of the noble United Alliance, under the leadership of the Blessed Delenn, and under the protection of the formidable Dark Star fleet led by the "Shadowkiller", General John Sheridan. The Narn and Centauri have reconciled, the Minbari are reforming their Gray Council, and Z'ha'dum is a world that is guarded day and night by the Vorlon fleet.

There was a time of peace. There was a time of hope. There was a time when it was possible to forget about the war. This time is over. Too late for peace, too late for hope, too late for prayers. For the sake of freedom, life and the fate of the galaxy, only war is possible here.
