Down Below

Down Below is a colloquial term which is used to describe a section of the space station Babylon 5 on the 1994-1998 science fiction television series Babylon 5. It was first seen in the second episode of season one, "Soul Hunter".

Description
Down Below is the name used when referring to the lower, underdeveloped sections of the Babylon 5 space station. Though patrolled routinely by Michael Garibaldi's men, this section of the station is home to a variety of underhanded activities and illegal practices.

In 2258, a con man cheated several denizens out of their money with a rigged version of the classic Shell Game. One of the man's victims did not take kindly to being cheated and chased the game dealer all throughout the constrictive corridors of Down Below, ultimately catching up to him and dealing him a fatal stab wound to the abdomen.

In addition to the human residents of Down Below, this section also plays host to a variety of alien species. An insectoid alien named N'Grath was frequently found in Down Below and seemed to possess a keen insight into all of the dark passageways and secret boltholes found throughout the station's underbelly. A Soul Hunter once paid N'Grath to provide him with a layout of the various corridors. (B5: Soul Hunter)
