EarthForce One

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EarthForce One is a fictional spacecraft used in the Babylon 5 science fiction television series to transport the Earth Alliance President to other planets.

Since EarthForce One is analogous to the present day Air Force One, and that designation follows any U.S. Air Force aircraft that happens to be transporting the President of the United States, it's likely that the call sign would be used by any EarthForce vessel carrying the President of the Earth Alliance.

[edit] Presidential Assassination of 2259

Shortly after midnight on January 1, 2259, EarthForce One was destroyed in the assassination of Earth Alliance President Luis Santiago. Santiago's vice-president, William Morgan Clark, assumed the presidency after being sworn in aboard EarthForce Two.

Clark was later implicated in the assassination plot and his government was overthrown during a revolt lead by Captain John Sheridan three years later.
