Babylon 5 Station News - May 1997
by Denise Chochrek
Welcome to the ongoing gathering of Babylon 5 fans on the
Aphelion. In the months ahead I hope to expand this area, but I will
need your help. Let me know what you like or dislike, what is missing,
and what you always wanted to know. Together I'm sure we will make this
a great place to visit.
