[edit] Arc significance

  • The Shadows use human telepaths as central processing units for their ships, implanted heavily with advanced neural control hardware.
  • A woman Bester is in love with is one of the telepaths to be used by the Shadows, giving him a reason to temporarily side with Babylon 5.
  • The war room is seen for the first time.
  • The overt Shadow War begins.
