	B5 - Crusade
		Crusade's resident wizard seeks none other than the Well of Forever, a mystical crossroads somewhere in the vastness of hyperspace.
		From the B5 magazine: The Excalibur crew find out that people left the Earth during the time of the Drakh battle and they may or may not be infected with the plague, which they could be carrying all over the galaxy.
		Meanwhile, two propaganda specialists from Earth have be sent to the Excalibur in an effort to improve the image of the ship and her crew in the eyes of the people back home.

	Crusade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The events in Crusade are a result of an interstellar war that climaxed during the fourth season of Babylon 5.
		The starship Excalibur is given the task of finding a cure by following up any leads and traveling to any worlds that may contain clues to the plague's origin.
		Although told on a smaller scale than Babylon 5, Crusade achieves its own sense of grandeur by its underlying melancholy; the universe is so old that entire civilizations have almost routinely risen and fallen, leaving behind empty cities to be picked over by other species with their own agendas and preoccupations.

	DVD Verdict Review - Crusade: The Complete Series
		Although written by Straczynski, due to the intense TNT oversight the story lacks the intelligence and drama usually present in his storytelling, and the episode is a very weak beginning for the show (and it was blasted as such by both fans and critics at the time of its airing).
		After the Excalibur picks up their rapidly failing escape pod, Alien Mulder and Alien Scully confront Gideon over his government's complicity in a vast conspiracy to cover up the fact that humans have been visiting their planet for years, and in fact are in cahoots with their government.
		Returning to Earth, the Excalibur takes aboard three visitors: one of the few EarthGov senators to be off-planet when the plague struck, an apparently unimportant plumber named David Williams, and Babylon 5's former doctor (and current head of Xenobiological Research for EarthGov) Stephen Franklin (Richard Biggs), who is infected with the plague.

		The mission of the Excalibur is to seek out places where the First Ones [of which the Shadows were one race] may have had colonies or where their homeworlds were because this plague is based on Shadow technology.
		The scientists at JPL are providing the Crusade producers with knowledge from the space program in order to help them depict future technology and astronomical situations realistically, therefore creating ‘the most accurate vision of the future ever attempted for television’.
		Crusade is currently in production, and will be broadcast in the US in the new year.

	Crusade Reviews - Each Night I Dream Of Home
		The Excalibur is forced home on a secret mission concerning the plague, leading to potentially important discoveries.
		The final curtain call for Crusade let's us in on a few secrets concerning the plague, and gives hints that the pace of the series was about to pickup.
		The episode gives a ton of new light on the plague and suggests that it may not be exactly what it appears to be, a fact that is not lost on discussions with JMS that suggest strongly that the plague would not be the central focus of the Crusade story once we left season one.

	Excalibur's Main Gun: Babylon 5 Tech-Manual.
		This may not be a completely accurate estimate of this weapon's total output however, given the fact that Excalibur's engines - a key component required to make the weapon fully operational - was not functioning.

	A Call To Arms - Review
		This super weapon uses four laser cutting guns in level one mode and in level two an energy beam of massive power is sent from the tri-wings in the rear and focused on the front end to create the super weapon.
		It was previously thought that the Excalibur would go out into the galaxy on its own looking for a cure for earth; however, from A Call we now think that this may not be the case, at least to a point.
		Although, I predict as the series goes on we will see the Excalibur out there alone quite a bit and will definitely be in a majority of situations where they have to fight alone or die.

	Guide page: "The Babylon Project: Crusade"
		Some behind-the-scenes machinations which will probably prove to be good Crusade trivia: On September 8, 1998, Ain't It Cool News ran a story describing a memo from TNT containing a list of proposed changes to Crusade, mostly focused on greatly increasing the amount of sex and violence.
		In Crusade, we're really dealing with one force encountering others on a per-episode basis (mostly), so we've got 6 regulars/recurs, with a subset of reappearing characters (a la Morden, Bester or Corwin in B5).
		Crusade will almost certainly to back to the 40-50% freelance mode, which is frankly my preference, and it's been that way on all the previous shows I've done.

	Babylon 5: Crusade
		Crusade was designed by the creator of Babylon 5 when it became clear to TNT, who took over production of the original series from a less interested Warner Brothers, that there was plenty of mileage left in the programme.
		Crusade was to be a separate story strand that takes place about a year or two after the events of the Babylon 5 arc.
		That is where the crew of the Excalibur came in.

		When Crusade begins, the Drakh have released a deadly virus that threatens to wipe out all 10 billion humans living on Earth unless a cure can be found in five years.
		The Excalibur, one of a new battleship design commissioned by Alliance President John Sheridan is pressed into commission to serve as a mobile platform for seeking out information about the plague and how it may be cured.
		Unfortunately for Crusade, the episode War Zone is somewhat of a continuity orphan, especially if you watch in the JMS order, which I would strongly suggest.

	Science Fiction Movie and TV Reviews
		As much as Crusade deserved to run its full course, the suspense unresolved by its unjust early cancellation is softened by a number of factors.
		In the silliest episode, "Visitors from Down the Street," Excalibur rescues a pair of aliens who speak perfect English, dress in suits and ties, and in both personality and rhetoric bear a suspicious resemblance to a certain pair of alien-hunting FBI agents from a much longer-running series.
		Galen takes the Excalibur off course on an extended, risky mission that turns out to be a glorified personal errand—granted, one that is deeply personal to him, but one that steals precious time from the mission to save billions of lives.

	Crusade LogBook - HTML edition 3.0 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

		With no last-minute savior appearing the rescue the show, Crusade's cast had to be released from their immediate commitments by Babylonian Productions, though most of them say they would happily return to work on the show if it ever resumes production.

		In Ceti 4 orbit, the Earth Destroyer military beacon is detected by the IPX shuttle and retrieves the beacon.
		One is that The Excalibur is an Earth Alliance ship, which contradicts it being made as a Destroyer by and for the Interstellar Alliance and that it is a mixture of Human, Minbari, and Vorlon technology as illustrated in "A Call To Arms." Two is Dureena's reaction to the Excalibur.

		Perhaps improved hyperspace navigation is a benefit of the Minbari or Vorlon components of the Excalibur's design; Earth-built ships were previously unable to navigate in hyperspace without using the beacons ("A Distant Star").
		This movie acts as a bridge between the original B5 series and the sequel, "Crusade." Originally, TNT planned to premiere the movie on January 3, 1999 and begin airing "Crusade" the same week, but "Crusade" ended up being delayed.
		A Call to Arms isn't a Crusade pilot, it's a B5 movie that somewhat sets the stage for the new show, but is not a part of it.
