Year 2458
- SPOOmun Complat shoots down 5 Narn "Destroyers" attacking Aquarius; 9th Narn freighter shot down
- Minibari (IS) decide to join Shadow alliance after having been attacked from Shadow-touched Dilgars. Actually the Minibari weren't really joining as an ally but as a kind of vasall?

Year 2460
At the end of phase II (phase III starts 2463) everything heats up.The West:
- Mars vs Gaim: Skirmishes of the last year seem to escalate into a fully fledged war. Mars brings in 33 yaki/xray-DDs and 39 Black Cat mini bombers to attack Gaim planet Rutebaga. Nevertheless we are rather confused: where is the tech we expected the Shadows to pass them? Or isn't Mars allied with the Shadows?
- Vorlonen Fleet: without the p-file of the Drakhs we can only assume that it continued to move towards Drakhs HW.
The East:
- Franklin: Spoo conqueres Centauri planet Chunk.
- Albe: Poor Narn get also attacked by pop-invasions from the Hyak, targets: Albemuth and Emerald.
- Regardless of the rules and clarifications from the host, Shadows continue to shoot down Spoo vessels.
- Spoo has ordered gates at Woody (near Franklin) and Hydrogen (NE of Narn hw16)
Misc:
- Wormhole 2 (W2) is still missing, both exits of wormhole 3 (W3) discovered
- The difference between rank 5 and 9 in the player ranks is just 45 pts, so most players are very close together with the exception of the Gaim who are on rank 3 since several years and 98 pts ahead of rank 5.

Year 2462 - Phase III
Phase III is starting: everybody can attack everybody and alliances are revealed. Our guesses about the Vorlons' and Shadows' allies were correct.The West:
- Mars vs Gaim: Due to diplomatic last minute efforts the war between Mars and Gaim was avoided. The Mars bomber/DD-fleet is moving back north. Shadows offer assistence (weap-tech) to Gaim/Llort against the Vorlons.
- Vorlonen Fleet: is now only 62-ly SE away from the Drakh HW which is still protected by a 37-ly minefield. Probably to sweep it, an Earth fleet of 29 col-FF is closing in from the south, 50-ly away.
The East:
- Albe: Hyak have now also conquered the former Narn planet Emerald, slightly to the east of Albemuth
Misc:
- Spoo/Pak and Vorlons plus allies are negotiating a NAP. In red the border, nearby blue line marks the area of intersettlement. Gaim/Llort shall be included into the NAP. Yet the NAP isn't valid but still in discussion.
- Communications with Hyak reveal that the Vorlon alliance is even stronger than we believed and members of it are on rank 1+2+3 with Gaim on rank 4 and Spoo on rank 5... leaving only rank 6 for the Shadows or even further below.
P-files from Spoomun Complat (2462), Pak'ma'ra (2462), Gaim (2462), Llort (2462), Drakh (2462), Earth (2450) and Dilgar (2449).

Year 2462 |
Year 2463
- Vorlonen Fleet: split itself in 3 parts:
- hit the Drakh HW minefield: all 5 b17 bombers, 20 scouts/chaff, 5 sfx destroyed, 3 BBs damaged... now at 28-ly distance to Drakh HW
- 3 CC passed the minefield, reached orbit of Drakh HW and got shot down by the station
- 12 LF, 5 sfx, 2 CC, 2 priv moved at warp 6, did not hit the minefield... now at 26-ly from Drakh HW
- Drakh HW minefield down to 13-ly radius but, to our surprise, still there
- Spoo conquered Narn planet Humus
- huge meteor hit Lingo
- 3rd MT has arrived
- Hyak commence major offense vs Narn all over the south
- Alliance of the Free get in contact with Shadows and, for now, agree to join forces vs the Vorlon alliance
- Vorlons still haven't responded to the proposed NAP-treaty, probably neither side is interested in a NAP anymore:
red and blue line still show the proposed borders by the Alliance of the Free, white line the Vorlon proposal

Year 2463 |
Year 2464
More warships, more bombers... things do heat up:- Vorlonen Fleet heading fro Drakh HW: 2 coll-BB, 1 jihad-BB, 2 CC, 12 LF (reinforcments close behind: 1 coll-BB + 1 LF)
- Vorlon fleet v39cc heading for Oshun?: 49 CC (Voyeur (scrap), 4 coll, 72% stealth (now 119-ly SE of Oshun)
- Vorlon fleet v1bb6b heading for Narn/Spoo territory: 1 jihad-BB, 6 b17
- Hyak fleets heading for Narn/Spoo territory: about 30 CC, 6 b17, lots of LFs, sfx etc.
- Battle Reports show that the Vorlons seem to have at least Gaim and Spoo set to enemy (probably all of the IA).
SPOOmun Complat:
- conquered Narn planet Kan
- starts to shoot down several Vorlon and Ipsha scouts within Narn/Spoo territory
- further plans to attack lone Hyak LFs or small planets are stopped: Hyaks have begun to guard everything with CCs
- in a joint venture with the Pak'ma'ra weap9 could be gained by shooting down the weap10-wolves previously transfered by the Vorlons
Year 2465
Drakh:
- Vorlon attack Drakh HW but due to battleboard manipulation, Drakh were able to shoot down 5 sfx and 3 LFs (fully loaded=360k pop killed)
- Drakh colonists kill 300k invading Vorlons at Smorgasbord... Vorlons have 830k pop left in their freighters
- Drakh loose planet Hoho to Earth who attack with 70k colonists
Gaim:
- MT gives Gaim Enigma Pulsar engine
- Ipsha conquere Gaim planet Knife by pop-drop
Llort:
- Ipsha attack Llort planet Zucchini by pop-drop, Llort colonists win
Misc:
- Vorlon stop Pak/Spoo weap10 tech exchange with the help of formerly transfered Vorlon weap10-wolves... Vorlon BBs shoot down remaining wolves
- another MT enters space
- Vorlons are in the process of trading con12 to their allies
- Vorlons transfer their scouts (25kt) "Smaugarian Peeping Tom" to Earth
- combined scans show 5mio pop for Hyak, 4mio pop for Ipsha, 3.8mio pop for Vorlons... in comparison: Gaim with 5.4mio pop as IA-member with by far the most pop

The West:
- Drakh HW "hw5" under attack by a Vorlon Fleet, Earth bombers close by plus all kinds of reinforcements from Vorlons
- Drakh planet Spittle orbited by a Vorlon Fleet, bombers 1 year away
The Center:
- Vorlon fleet v39cc: 39 CC in orbit of Pak'ma'ra planet Spittle
- Vorlon reinforcements closing in from the southeast (from planet Pi): BBs and bombers; Ipsha and Hyak CCs all over the area
The East:

Year 2467
The Center:
- Vorlon fleet v39cc: moved on, not on scanners anymore
The East:
- Narn HW "hw16"": the Hyak Fleet of 20 baz-CC gets reinforced by 6 b17-bombers (m70). Narn get it right this time and with the help of Gaim/Llort/Spoo we can use the battleboard position trick a 2nd time: in battle round 1 all Hyak bombers are in range of the Narn station and get destroyed during the battle.
- Vorlon bombers and 1 jihad-BB to arrive at Narn HW next year
Misc:
- Minbari were invited into tech transfer at Eastern W/L-sites and introduce themselves by shooting down the Drakh spectators
- another MT enters space
- green lines show possible NAP-borders between IA and Vorlon alliance as suggested by the Spoo
- red line in the SW show border as suggested by the Vorlons: "This is because you may feel you got there first, we feel its ours and you sneaked in colonisers without enough strength to hold on to it - we are proving this by taking it back."

Year 2508
The Interstallar Alliance (IA)/Alliance of the Free had gathered several thousand ships to jump all of them deep into Vorlon Alliance (VA) territory for a surprise attack. While those ships were technologically inferiour to those of the VA, it had been hoped that the sheer number would catch the VA unprepared or their main fleet engaged far up in the north against the Shadows.Everybody feavered towards the gen of year 2508 to see the first battles... Unfortunately for the IA and luckily for the VA, the latter had destroyed all gates within their territory and thus all those thousands of ships were sitting duck at their jump start positions.
The IA gave up afterwards. The Shadow players seemed to have given up quite a while before: not one had managed to upload orders for this year.
The well deserved victory of Babylon 5 v2 goes to the Vorlonen Alliance:
m6: Vorlon (IS), played by Joseph
m4: Earth (JoAT), initially played by m a stars, later: Soobie
m9: Hyak (CA), played by Orange.
m15: Ipsha (JoAT), played by wizard.
