As the Earth Alliance plunges toward civil war, internal strife and political intrigue threaten to shatter the command structure of Babylon 5.
[edit] Synopsis
In the wake of the evidence implicating him in the death of President Santiago, and using the recent appearance of an unidentified alien ship near Jupiter as further justification for "planetary security," President Clark declares martial law throughout the Earth Alliance, forcing General Hague's rebel forces into the open.
The President also hands authority for station security over to Nightwatch members only, sending Garibaldi into a righteous fury when he is relieved of his position while Sheridan tries to find a way to keep his command without drawing suspicion.
G'Kar volunteers the help of the Narns, a timely offer as Sheridan is left with no choice but to arrest the Nightwatch security officers.
Very few notice the arrival of the Lady Morella, widow of the late Centauri emperor, and even fewer believe her prediction of the future occupants of the imperial throne. (Attrib: B5 LogBook [1])
