Well, the other obvious solution, since the Vorlons were then
out and running around and actively involved in the war of that time
period, he just sent out a signal, and they got there first.

Well, Bruce, given that there's a massive war on, they just had
their major starbase destroyed, they were left without a platform from
which to stage the last part of the war...and here comes someone
offering a 6 mile long, perfectly empty and eminently useable base for
the last phase of the war, no charge...hell, I'd take him up on it too.

Yeah, B4 had more firepower, and it had one thing B5
doesn't...engines that can move it forward if necessary.

B5 doesn't have engines that can move it; yes, budget cuts,
after spending so much on the previous attempts.
