    Babylon 5 A Fighting Chance --- A Babylon 5 AU

    A convoy system is complicated, expensive, and commercially speaking, majorly inefficient (and thus, again, expensive, in that it bites deeply into profitability). You only go to the trouble of creating one if your merchant shipping is being subjected to large-scale commerce-raiding (as in...
