Settings in the B5 universe

[Dagon]

I found this website a little while ago which got me interested in where everything is supposed to take place in B5:

Among other things, it does point out the difficulties in placing the location of the B5 station around Epsilon Eridani. Has anyone else looked at this site? I recommend it.

Well it doesn't really matter how far locations are apart since long-distance travel in the show is done through hyperspace. The reason the beacon system exists is because hyperspace doesn't work in a straight line.

Well, though there's some variance, all the measurements of distance mentioned on the show place the location of B5 as being quite further away from Earth than the 10.67 light years that the Epsilon Eridani system is in real life. Personally, I think it's more likely the system B5 is in is 82 Eridani, or Delta Eridani. But that's just my opinion.
