For example: Babylon 5 refers to the Babylon of ancient Earth; the location of B5 is at Grid Epsilon 470/18/22, the location of the original B5 topic on GEnie.

And thanks as well to those here, who Quixotically volunteered to go forth and attack dragons in service of a place they had never even seen, which is, I suppose, the higest calling one can aspire to, to fight not for acquaintances, or the familiar, but for an *idea*.
So once again, my utmost appreciation. That the goal was achieved without the necessity of firing a shot does not in any way diminish the thanks due the volunteers in this extraordinary company. When next we assemble, I hope, it will be in the cause of celebration.
And today I have amended the B5 bible to include the following notation: "The Babylon 5 station is located in neutral territory, in grid epsilon, at coordinates 470/22/18."
Onward!

The Fans on GEnie Online Services who were part of JMS discussion of Babylon 5 back when it was still referred to as "That Which Cannot Be Named" referred to themselves as The Grid Epsilon Irregulars.
Grid Epsilon was the original location of GEnie's Science Fiction Roundtable.
It was Category 470, Forum 22, Topic 18
JMS named the location of B5, Epsilon 3, in honor of this group.
