Straczynski and Netter hired many of the people from ''Captain Power'', as well as hiring Ellison as a consultant and DiTillio as a story editor.  ''Babylon 5'' won two [[Emmy Award]]s, back-to-back [[Hugo Award]]s, and dozens of other awards. Straczynski wrote 92 of the 110 [[List of Babylon 5 episodes|episodes]], as well as the pilot and five television movies.  The show is a character-driven [[space opera]] and features an intentional emphasis on realism in its portrayal of space operations. It pioneered extensive use of [[computer-generated imagery|CGI]] for its [[special effect]]s.  ''Babylon 5'' was produced and broadcast for five seasons completing Stracynski's planned story arc.

He wrote the outlines for nine of the [[Canon (fiction)|canonical]] ''Babylon 5'' novels, supervised the three produced ''Babylon 5'' telefilm novelizations (''In the Beginning'', ''Thirdspace'', and ''A Call to Arms''), and is the author of four ''Babylon 5'' short stories published in magazines, not yet reprinted ({{as of|2008|lc=on}}).
