This fan fic is based on the Babylon 5
spin-off, Crusade. Crusade was cancelled
during it's first season, and I wanted to
do the series some justice. This is meant
for serious writers, as this is a drama.
Series Premise: The year is 2267.
The Shadows have long since departed the
Milky Way, and their ancient servents, the
Drakh, are seeking revenge against the Humans
for defeating their dark masters.
A Drakh fleet set forth towards Earth, and
released a biogenetic plague into the
atmosphere that kill the entire population
on Earth at the time in five years.
The Interstellar Alliance has set forth
to combat this catastrophe. They have
dispatched their most advanced starship,
a one of a kind Victory class destroyer
named Excalibur, to scour the galaxy to
find a cure.

Chapter 1: Apocalypse, Part One

'Everyone who was in the possession of
an Apocolypse Box met with an unusual and
gruesome demise', Gideon thought to
himself. He had originally thought of this
as complete superstition, but, in the past
few days, he was beginning to wonder. The
Box had not led him to any hot leads
concerning the Drakh plague. The Box had
told him to go to the second planet of the
Tanterra sytem.
"Captain, we have acheived orbit around
Tanterra 2," announced Gideon's First Officer, John Matheson.
"Scanning the planet for lifeforms and
technology."
"...Well?"
"We're getting signals of...uncertain
origin."
"Meaning...?"
"Possibly biomechanical lifeforms, sir."
"You're a telepath. Try scanning their
minds."
"I'll try, sir."
Matheson closes his eyes and stands around
for several seconds , before suddenly
clenching his teeth, moaning, and collapsing
on the deck of the bridge.
"John?! Get a medic up here, on the double!"
