    Does anyone know if JMS ever mentioned what the Minbari called Babylon 4 when it showed up with Valen?

        I don't recall it being in there, but I would suggest checking out the Comic "In Valen's Name" or maybe "To Dream in the City of Sorrows"

        Yeah, well, the rent is cheap, the pay is decent and I get to make my own hours.

          My understanding is that it was called the "Temple of Jane" which really excited the Minbari, who had already heard prophecies of Her arrival.

                The first Minbari to sight it used the term "WTF!" so it went into the books as the Wartime Tactical Facility.
                I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying.

                  I'd like to think that the name of Babylon 4 for the Minbari was somehow related to the word for the future (zha).

                    So it was called Zha'ha'Dum...?
