The Earthforce Carrier Group lead by the EAS AgrippaĬaptain Smith arrived with two Omega class destroyers, the EAS Agrippa and EAS Roanoke, two Hyperion class heavy cruisers, dozens of Starfuries, and a Breaching pod carrying Earthforce Marines. The other two Destroyers also launched their Starfury wings as soon as the enemy jumped into Babylon 5 space. Susan Ivanova took command of Zeta Wing, while Alpha Wing and Delta Wing also launched to protect the station. Major Ryan and Captain Hiroshi both wanted fugitives now too, decided to make their stand with Babylon 5.Ĭmdr. The Narns were completely loyal to Sheridan, however. The station's security team had to be largely replaced with Narns after Sheridan purged all Nightwatch personnel (all loyal to Clark). Several officers and crewmembers immediately leave their posts. Utilizing the holographic technology of the Great Machine on Epsilon III, Captain John Sheridan announces that Babylon 5 will join with the Orion and Proxima colonies in declaring independence until such time that Clark is removed from office, listing Clark's crimes as justification. We will remain an independent state until President Clark is removed from office." " As of this moment, Babylon 5 is seceding from the Earth Alliance. Ryan assumed command of the Alexander when General Hague was killed in an ambush. Word of this leaks out to Captain Sandra Hiroshi of the EAS Churchill, one of the rebelling ships, who warns the station and Major Ed Ryan, a recent arrival to Babylon 5 with the EAS Alexander. In response, the Earth Alliance colonies of Orion VII and Proxima III declare independence until such time Clark is removed from power.įearing Babylon 5 may try to break away as well, President Clark orders a task force under the command of Captain Dexter Smith to seize control of the station and arrest the command staff. This prompts President Clark to order the bombing of civilian targets on the planet. The provisional government on Mars, however, rejects the martial law decree.
Earthforce experiences a similar split: Many ships defect under the leadership of General William Hague while many more remain loyal to Clark. Half the Senators are jailed while the other half flee or defiantly remain at their post. Immediately after the declaration, he also issues an Executive order dissolving the Senate. President Clark uses this incident to declare martial law throughout the entire Earth Alliance. While the Earth Senate begins holding hearings to investigate, part of Ganymede Colony is destroyed by an unknown alien vessel. He is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people!"Įarly in 2260, evidence linking Earth Alliance President Morgan Clark to the assassination of his predecessor Luis Santiago becomes public. " President Clark has violated the Earth Alliance Constitution by dissolving the Senate, declaring martial law, and personally ordering the bombing of civilian targets on the Mars colony.
