Though the crew of the heracles will have to face a Court Marshal after the war. In the end the Heracles withdraws from the field, one ship stays to look after proxima and two sign on. Meanwhile Londo and G'Kar sign a joint (!) declaration of support for Sheridan (though G'Kar does not sign on the same page) and Garibaldi leaves for Mars, he does not expect to return. Arc significance This is the point at which the s**t hits the fan with Earth. From this point on the War will not stop till Earth is free. This is very importent in the arc and give the name for the whole year. This episode also moves Garibaldi closer to his Judas role and sees the first moves that will somehow make G'Kar and Londo friends 20 years later. Production details None Known Trivia The Alexander is visable in the fleet that is assembling at Proxima after the battle. Notice the bit where the badguys send out a fighter probe. It's a Thunderbolt but the cockpit we see for the pilot is that of a normal Starfury. Londo offers G'Kar a drink. G'Kar once offered Londo a drink to peace in "The Coming of Shadows" little realising Londo had just fired the first shots of the Centuri/Narn war. External link
