Page "John Sheridan (Babylon 5)" Paragraph 10

When Commander Jeffrey Sinclair was reassigned as ambassador to Minbar in January 2259, Sheridan was chosen to command Babylon 5.

Sheridan was initially not well received by the Minbari, and was still called " Starkiller " by many in the warrior caste ( referring to the engagement in which the Black Star was destroyed ).

Soon after his arrival, in " Points of Departure ," the Minbari ship Trigati, which had disappeared during the Battle of the Line, reappeared and tried to provoke him into firing upon them.

However, Sheridan remained cool and defused the situation.

Even with the strained relations with the Minbari, Delenn and Sheridan began to develop a close friendship.

Sheridan also had some initial doubts about taking command of Babylon 5 because he feared being turned into a bureaucrat, but after helping to rescue the EAS Cortez, commanded by his friend Captain Maynard, after an accident in hyperspace, he realized he was in the right place.
