Epsilon III is the third planet of the Epsilon Eridani system, in Euphrates Sector, also known as Grid Epsilon.

Babylon 5 was built in orbit over Epsilon III.

Until the Earth year 2258, the planet was thought to be stable and uninhabited. Then, its longtime guardian's health began to fail. This made the planet very unstable, which revealed its secrets to the Babylon 5's command personnel.^[2]

The Great Machine was revealed to be on the surface of Epsilon III. The successor guardian, Draal, forbade access to the planet until the appropriate time.^[3]
