The Chronicles Of Londo Mollari-Diplomat, Emperor, Martyr,and Self-described Fool is the autobiography of Emperor Londo Mollari of the Centauri Republic.
The assembly of memoirs and recollections were written by Emperor Mollari during the last years of his reign. The bulk of the story concerning time period where the Babylon 5 station was at the center of interplanetary politics was dictated to Vir Cotto only a few hours before Mollari's death in 2278. The finished book was edited by Emperor Cotto and published posthumously in 2280, following Mollari's death. It was quickly translated into a number of languages and distributed to many worlds in the Interstellar Alliance--including an edition published on Earth the same year--as a way of setting the record straight concerning Mollari's later years under the control of the Drakh, preceding the Republic's re-admittance to the Alliance.[1]
Some years later, the late emperor's recollections were adapted into story form that served as the narrative for the ISN special documentary, Babylon 5.[2] The program was made possible by substantial grants from the Anla'Shok Memorial Fund.
