History
The first edition of the game was published in 1997. The two men responsible were Bruce Graw and Robert Glass. The original rules were complex and the ship selection was minimal. The second edition was produced less than one year later. In it were several key rules revisions and clarifications. Over the life span of the game many supplements were released. With the supplements many new races and ships came about.
Due to the cancellation of the Babylon 5 television show Agents of Gaming chose not to renew their contract. The game is out of print and with a new B5-based game "A Call to Arms" being produced by Mongoose Publishing, an official comeback is unlikely. However, a relatively strong player base continues to produce new, free content for the game system.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of the prophets. He saw with an open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it, and had his being there. Alone in all history he estimated the greatness of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
