The Babylon 5 Advisory Council is made up of the five most powerful governments: the Minbari Federation, the Narn Regime, the Centauri Republic, the Earth Alliance, and the Vorlon Empire. Prior to the founding of the Interstellar Alliance, the commanding officer of Babylon 5 acted as the Earth Alliance's representative on the council in lieu of a separate ambassador. A number of smaller governments are members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, which is also represented on the Council.
In 2258, Draal appointed the Advisory Council to look over the Great Machine on Epsilon III.[1]
Not long before the Second Shadow War, the Narn Regime and Earth Alliance lost representation on the Council. In late 2259, the Narn Regime became a protectorate of the Centauri Republic, and their Ambassador, G'Kar, was removed from the council.[2] In 2260, Captain John Sheridan declared Babylon 5 an independent state due to President Morgan Clark's illegal declaration of martial law, meaning he now represented the breakaway state and not the Earth Alliance.[3]
