Army of Light

The Army of Light has been founded in 2260 with the outbreak of the Shadow war. Many different races including the Minbari , the Narn and the Brakiri supported the Army of Light because they knew that they couldn't stand up against the Shadows alone. Some of the later members races first had serious doubts on handing over the command of their ships because they didn't believe that Delenn and Sheridan could win against the Shadows. This changed when Sheridan urged Vorlon Ambassador Kosh to send a small Vorlon fleet into a battle against the Shadows. The Shadow fleet was annihilated within minutes and so the way for a new alliance was clear.

Babylon 5 became the headquarters of the Army of Light and the Warcouncil was founded. This council was leading the Army of Light and was composed of the Capt. John Sheridan, Delenn, Security Chief Michael Garibaldi, Stephen Franklin and Ranger Marcus Cole. Later former Narn ambassador G'Kar also became a member of this council.
The biggest victories against the Shadows were in the Great battle in 2260 and in 2261 during the Battle at Coriana 6 .
Shortly after the Earth-Civil-War was over, Delenn had the idea for a new alliance between many races. This new alliance was called "Interstellar Alliance" and was finally official founded in 2262 with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. John Sheridan became the first President of the new alliance.

Minbari is the 7th planet of the Chi Draconis system. Over 20% of Minbar is covered with ice which results in a relative cold climate. The planet is very rich on crystalline and mineral resources. These resources are part of the Minbari technology and are widely used to construct their ships and buildings on the planet surface. The headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance is placed in the city of Tuzanor, which has been build only for this purpose.
