Also, here's a writing of episode 1 done by Vertigo1 over at SB regarding this:
Cue theme, which sounds like a mix of 70s j-rock and modern trance.
Londo Voiceover: "It was last hope for brave new peace! In the spaceyear 2257, last Babiron station, Numbah five, become active! Set by jumpgate, it home to many race. But also pirates, smuggrers, businessmen. It was dangerous, but we knew it as home. This is its story..."
Theme music fades out.
<We see a transport docking with Babilon-5. Rather than the slow dockings of the real series, this transport moves at top speed most of the time, then suddenly stops at the port. The door of the transport opens, and blinding light pours out. Three sihlouettes are present. Eventually the light tones down, and we see Ivanova, Takashima and Sheridan.>
<Admiral Sinclair stands at the docking bay, stroking his beard.>
Sinclair: Hello cadets! It good to be meeting you! I am Admiral Sinclair, Commander of Fortress Babilon-5!
Ivanova: Hello, Admiral. Susan Ivanonva, reporting for duty! I will not let you down!
<Takashima is for some reason in traditional japanese geisha garb and kneels>
Takashima: I will serve station with great joy!
<Sheridan is decked out in as much blatently American clothing as possible, including a cowboy hat>
Sheridan: Ha, I'll become squadron leader in no time! I cannot be touched!
Sinclair: Quiet you brash young boy! I need to introduce ambassadors! Londo, of THE CENTAURI!
Londo: Our empire may be falling, but do not think we are easy prey! The Lion of the Universe still has teeth!
<Londo slams back a shot>
Sinclair: G'kar of the NARN!
G'kar: Our people are dedicated to peace! Once slaves of Centauri, we now free slaves all across the universe!
<G'kar pats a rifle. He is clearly wearing Narn Battle Armor which can transform into a motorcycle.>
Sinclair: Dellin of MINBARI!
Dellin: "On my world, we know of the power of the individual! Show this power to Babilon-5! Fly strong, for VICTORY!
<Dellin becomes super deformed and flashes the V sign to the camera while the background becomes a swirl of colors. It then returns to normal>
Sinclair: Cute for Minbari!
<Dellin hits Sinclair with a hammer>
Dellin: Pervert!
<Sinclair flies into wall>
Sinclair: Kosh, of the Minbari!
<As the camera focuses on Kosh, spatial relationships seem distorted, as if reality twists and turns. Smoke hisses out of his suit and his 'eye' glows a bright green.>
Kosh: I have no interest in you or your empires. For millenia the tree of Vorlon has stood strong on self!
Takashima: Get stuffed!
Sheridan: I don't see you in a fighter... -___-;;
Sinclair: PIROTS! Behaviour, now! You will clean the floors of the station to repay for your insult-
<Suddenly a SPY lunges from the shadows, shooting Kosh with a poison dart.>
Spy: A tree most rot from within before it will fall!
<Kosh shoots a laser at the spy, disintigrating him in a massive explosion. Suddenly Kosh falls to his knees>
Kosh: Agh...
***
CUT TO DEEP SPACE
<We see a massive armada of rag-tag ships flying in a loose cloud formation>
Pirate leader: Babilon-5... very rich, funded by all the governments. If we hit it fast enough, we will be rich! Charge men!
<The Armada enters hyperspace. Instead of opening a jump-point, it shimmers out of existence and into the realm of hyperspace. Hyperspace now has random lightning bolts. Although its implied that the pirates formation is ragtag and nobody helps anyone, nobody is swept off course in hyperspace by hyperspace currents>

CUT TO MEDLAB
Stefan: Zut alors! Kosh 'as been poisoned! I can save 'eem, but eet must be perfectly still!
<The station is rocked as blasts hit>
Garibadi: We are under attack!
Sinclair: Fighters, launch-o!
<Hundreds of fighters pour out of Babilon-5, and a seizure inducing firefight begins. Starfuries have no obvious missile sections yet still fire off about 10 each. Explosions surround the pirates, but there is little effect. Sheridans red fighter is rocked by laser fire.>
Sheridan: Help!
<Ivanova, in a blue starfury, blows up a cruiser>
Ivanova: Ha, you are not so skillful Sheridan! I will be the squad leader at this rate!
<Takashima, whose starfury is pink, blows up four enemy fighters>
***
CUT TO COUNCIL CHAMBER
Sinclair: We cannot fight this menace alone! We need help!
Londo: Not when a Narn is here!
G'kar: Not while the perverted Centauri holds sway!
Dellin: But my people still hate the Earth people... I do not know...
Sinclair: If you do, the Vorlons will thank you for saving their ambassador! His life depends on it! Set aside your differences for the greater good! This station is for peace, not hate! If only for today...
<The three ambassadors slowly nod their heads>
***
CUT TO DEEP SPACE
<we see a bit of battle footage, occaisionally injected with a bit of surgery involving needles on Kosh through the suit>
<New warp points open, and out come three cruisers. The Minbari Sharlin cruiser looks more like a shark and fires lasers out of its eyes. The Centauri battlecruiser is an extremely elegant design, almost like a yacht. The Narn heavy cruiser has the same basic shape, but is now absolutely bristling with turrets that should be on a WW2 era naval ship. The pirate fleet begins to explode rapidly.>
Pirate Captain: Agh! You have won today Sinclair, but we will be back!
<The pirate fleet warps out>
Sheridan: Alright! We beat 'em!
Takashima: We did it!
Ivanova: I was just getting warmed up!
***
CUT TO MEDLAB
Stefan: There... you should be alright now.
Kosh: NO! Nobody is alright now... the avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebble to vote.

CUT TO ZA'HA'DUM
<the camera slowly moves in towards the planet>
Mysterious Female Voice: Now our spies have seen Babilon-5's weakness. Without unity, they fall even to the scum of the universe. We must tear apart their peoples...
<the camera cuts to a throne room of some sort. We do not see the throne, but we do see Morden kneeling on the red carpet, genuflecting to someone>
Morden: Then allow me, my queen, to help tear them apart!
Voice: Serve me well Morden, and you will become a Shadow Prince! Fail me, and slumber forever!
Morden: We shall all get what we want, my Queen. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
