Babylon 5 is overrun by 25,000 Gropos (short for "ground pounders," or infantry), soldier from Earthforce led by Dr. Franklin's father, General Richard Franklin (PAUL WINFIELD).
While some of the surly Gropos interact peacefully with their hosts, there are many disturbances on the overcrowded station, including one involving Ambassador Delenn.
Her presence in the Zocalo sparks a fight because she is Minbari, and the Gropos are still bitter about the Minbari War.
