 This made me look it up and apparently Babyloj 5 was built in like 2, maybe 3
years max!?!? Babylon project starts 2248, 4 comes online 2254, 2256 for 5.

That seems crazy fast

I had imagined the Babylon projects as a series of stations built on the
frontier of which only #5 survived through construction, especially since
they’re at different locations (at least 4 and 5 are, but I guess that could
be because 4 proved the location unsafe?

Beth,
