Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers
— The original creative team behind the popular science-fiction Babylon 5
television series and movies are on board to produce the all-new full-length
action adventure Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers, to premiere
exclusively on SCI FI in 2002. The two-hour telefilm will be executive produced
by Douglas Netter and executive producer/creator J. Michael Straczynski.
Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers
takes up the story of the legendary Ranger fleet as it attempts to restore
order to hundreds of civilizations devastated by the Shadow War. This new
chapter in creator Straczynski's fascinating universe finds the elite and
mysterious Ranger force — a combination of male and female humans and alien
Minbari trained in space warfare, the unique alien philosophy of the rangers,
and every conceivable form of martial arts — faced with deadly challenges in their
attempt to create peace out of the war's destruction. Babylon 5 series
cast members may also appear, with the movie serving as the pilot for a
potential SCI FI Channel series.
The new Babylon 5 movie takes place in 2264 after the wars are over and a new age of space exploration has begun. The Interstellar Alliance has been organized to establish and maintain peace among its member worlds, including Earth. The Rangers are an elite military group whose mandate is to enforce the peace for the member worlds. It is made up of hand-picked young, smart, dedicated human and alien members who combine the high-tech elements of space travel with the idealism and honor of the knights of old.
In the initial movie, Babylon 5: The Legend of the Rangers, the Rangers encounter a previously unknown alien race whose lethal power is far greater than any force previously known to Earth or any other world in the Interstellar Alliance. The Rangers bring Babylon 5 into a new era in science fiction...building an empire out of chaos. As we all know, when the wars are over, the real struggle begins. The Rangers job is to protect the peace. Their motto: "We live for the one. We die for the one".
Six years after the
end of the Shadow War, but two years before the events of Crusade.
