The Shadow Wars refer to the great wars involving the Shadows in the television science fiction series Babylon 5.

[edit] First Shadow War

The Shadow War that occurred in the year 1260, in which the Shadows battled an alliance of races led by the Vorlons and Minbari. The use of Babylon 4, brought back in time from a thousand years in the future, was pivotal in the defeat of the Shadows. It is referred to by the Minbari as The Great War.

[edit] Second Shadow War

The final Shadow War occurred one thousand years later in 2260, in which the Shadows battled the combined forces of the Earth Alliance, Minbari Federation, Narn Regime, the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, and the Vorlon Empire. The end of the war saw the return of the First Ones and their final departure -- along with the Shadows and Vorlons -- from the galaxy.
