Notable Locations

Red Sector features several large rooms that can be rented for ceremonial or festive occasions. The rental fee may include any furnishings that can be supplied by the station quartermaster, though the renting party may also supply their own furnishings. In 2258 Ambassador Mollari used a banquet room to demonstrate Centauri cultural beliefs as a part of a cross-cultural exchange. Later that year a banquet was held for the League of Non-Aligned Worlds representatives, before which Ambassador G'Kar protested the Narn delegation had been seated next to the Vree, citing their horrific table manners. In 2259 Londo rented a banquet room to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his ascension. Later that year, Urza Jaddo held a banquet to honour his reunion with his old friend Londo Mollari.

Later that year, when a Babylon 5 merchandising store was opened, several of the products on sale were produced by some of the traders in the Bazaar. In 2260, when Brother Edward dropped his bag in Brown Sector, Garibaldi later found someone trying to sell it down in the Bazaar.

Casino

The casino on Babylon 5

The casino in Red Sector offers a variety of games where all currencies are accepted. When he first arrived on the station, Londo Mollari would often spend allot of his time and money in this establishment, although over time, as he gained in power and responsibility, games of chance no longer held his interest. In late 2258 while investigating the murder of Stephen Petrov, a lead led Security Chief Garibaldi to a man named Devereaux, who was know to hang out in the Casino. When in 2259 a large contingent of Earthforce Marines arrived on the station, a major fight broke out, precipitated by Private Kleist and Lieutenant Warren Keffer.

In addition to the main area, the club also features a private area in the back for high stakes games of chance.
