User:Aladdin Sane/B5-AS-notes/List of locations in Babylon 5 (sandbox)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The location of the primary canon produced in the Babylon 5 fictional universe is a "former manufacturing plant for swimming pool and hot tub pumps" in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, California, USA, with the exception of The Lost Tales, which was primarily produced in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1][2][3]
The overall setting of Babylon 5 primary and secondary canon is four n-dimensional spaces, where n equals at least three. This article is structured as an outline in order to describe each specific setting in each specific dimension and provide the reader with real world context for each, where such exists. The article includes both settings, and certain references to places not used as settings, in cases where these have real world context.
The fictional universe was created by and is maintained by writer J. Michael Straczynski, and has a canonical bible.[4]
The name of the universe itself, Babylon 5, is named for the fictional space station, Babylon 5, a "home away from home...for a quarter of a million humans and aliens". The name of the station (and thematic elements not addressed in this article: see "Babylon 5 Themes") has a real world reference.
References to places which are neither used as settings, nor have a real world reference, are not listed in this article.
The table of contents attempts to organize the four dimensions of the fictional universe in a two dimensional outline form:
