Making the first episode of your 5 season arc not S1E1 is really confusing, at least by 2020 standards.

in this definitely not rip-off of DS9 we join a bunch of misfits on the only space station not to have sunk into the swamp. Suspend your disbelief, especially when it comes down to conflicts of interest & the inner workings or the environmental control systems, and join us on Babylon 5 for an interstellar whodunit.

just don’t compare it to DS9; It’s legally not a copy!
