What were the fighters from Babylon 5 called?
Complicated question actually.
Commander Sinclair was the original man in charge of Babylon 5, but left to become an ambassador to Minbar which was kind of a cover for him looking after a group of Minbari and Humans called Rangers. He shared this responsibility with Delen and later with Captain Sheridan when he was told ab out them by Delen. The Vorlons also had a hand in the shaping of the Rangers by providing technology to enable the creation of the ranger fleet of ships called the Whitestar.
Although these people were in charge, Sheridan was the only one who actually wore a Ranger badge. The whole point of the rangers was to keep a low profile and report back on movements of the Shadows and their allies. Many times they were able to come and go to the station delivering reports and details through covert means. Later Marcus is introduced to the cast as a Ranger and provides more insight into their training and abilities.

Enuma Elish is the Babylonian creation mythos. It was recovered by Austen Henry Layard in 1849 (in fragmentary form) in the ruined Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh (Mosul, Iraq), and published by George Smith in 1876. When the seven tablets that contain this were first discovered, evidence indicated that it was used as a "ritual", meaning it was recited during a ceremony or celebration. It supposedly was written no later than the reign of Nebuchadrezzar in the 12th century B.C. But there is also little doubt that this story was written much earlier, during the time of the Sumerians. Drawing some new light on the ancients, Henry Layard found within the ruins of the library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, texts that were not unlike the Genesis creation in the Bible. George Smith first published this text in 1876 under the title, The Chaldean Genesis, Akkadian text written in the old Babylonian dialect. In the related links box below, I posted the tablet contents.
