Second in command and in charge of the day-to-day operations of Babylon 5, Ivanova is an ambitious career officer. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and raised abroad on Earth, she has a strong hatred for the Psi-Corps, whose drug treatments drove her mother to suicide after it was discovered her mother was a latent telepath. Despite having been on the station for over 3 years, she often buries herself in her work; her friends are few and her family is all but gone.
Now that Sheridan has been taken by Clark's forces, it is Ivanova's job to assume control of The Resistance's fleet and continue to push toward Earth and liberate it.
