B5ITF: Captain Trauger

Sergei SSergei S Earthforce Officer
Looks like "Crusade" was sort of training grounds for "Babylon 5: Into the Fire" cast. Curious how Captain Trauger could have looked like in the game? ;-)

According to Sierra's website, Capt. Trauger (named after game's lead quality assurance / B5 guru [URL=http://www.firstones.com/b5games/sim/sim_development_crew_johnt.html]John Trauger[/URL]) was going to be [i]the CO (commanding officer) of an Earth Alliance Hyperion-class warship EAS Artemis[/i] and played by actor [URL=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0584091/]Christopher Michael[/URL].

This very same actor, however, also had already played in Crusade by that time. He was given a very short role of unnamed Earthforcer captain in the episode [URL=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0551017/]Appearances and Other Deceits[/URL]. He was captain of one of three Omegas towing alien ship at the end of the episode. He contacted Gideon via video.

Same actor, same rank, different position, different ship class. Here, have a look at Earthforce captain/Captain Trauger.

  • Nice catches, both of your finds.

    And I still want to see this game released... :p
  • I would really love to see it too. But the software is completly outdated now. The game would litterly have to be re-written from the ground up because if they started on it now, They would have to make it for Window's Vista and to support all the hardware out in the future. Joystick sales have died considerably and well...We are still the only last hope for a good B5 game.

    Yea, even IFH:D&O is outdated already. Good news project is still breathing, waiting for the right time to be released.
