Babylon 5 ranks and insignia can be found at

Very cool link :D

First, nothing cool there, they aren't right, but be as it may be, in a new Earthforce Compaign book (not old Earthforce Sourcebook), these ranks were copied, as well some "invented" NCO's, another detail, these ranks also for GROPOS, which are flat wrong, from rank of private to Colonel, GROPOS has own insignias, only at General levels merge. Anyway, I like unifom ilustration, some of them also wrong, though, irony, it is right in the text.

Zibster.

Correct, the site is an old one which attempted to gather background info on B5 as best it could. The Babylon Project manuals from Titan Books are the definitive source now. Earthforce ranks and insignia can be found on page 16 of the Earthforce Sourcebook.

As a note of interest, I visited the set of Babylon 5 during production, and I was taken into the prop office where I requested to see the various rank insignia for the show. Among other things, I was shown the highest ranking shoulder badges, and they were poorly made golden metal five-pointed five star clusters in a circle, not unlike those of many terresterial armed and police forces.

Hi I finally did my version of B5 uniforms and insignias, here is an Earthforce: http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/77/l_0f4b924e24c04b8cb72b6487fcd73816.jpg
