"It was the nightfall of the First Age of Mankind, fifty years after the Allied-German war. The #babylon5.fi Project was a dream given form, its goal: to prevent any more spoiling by creating a place where veterans and newbies could work out their differences spoiler-freely. It's an IRC-channel, a substitute for reality, for fans, newbies, idlers and disbelievers. A lot of people wrapped in two million five hundred thousand bytes of running code, all alone in the net. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for a quick buck. The year is 1998, the name of the place is #babylon5.fi."
