"No Compromises" is the first episode of the fifth season of the science-fiction television series Babylon 5. This was the first episode of Babylon 5 to air on TNT.

The EA Destroyer Acheron jumps into Babylon 5 space bearing Captain Lochley, the station's new CO. With everyone else busy preparing for Sheridan's inauguration ceremony, Lt. Corwin is the sole member of her welcoming committee. To his dismay, she seems intent on reforming the station immediately.

In an empty tube station on Mars, a man holding a music box and a PPG has a battered Ranger bound to a chair. "We live for the One, we die for the One", the Ranger utters before being shot. The man hangs a placard around the Ranger's neck and walks away. "Special Delivery For Babylon 5", it reads.

Both up early, the newlyweds are adjusting to their new routine. Delenn's dismay at finding wet socks in the shower is allayed when John explains that washing his own socks keeps death at bay. His old drill sergeant always said that the person who has nothing left to do is going to get killed. Only he would live forever, because he always had socks to wash.

Before leaving for their separate duties they agree to meet at Delenn's place tonight. They will continue alternating quarters until they can leave B5 when their permanent headquarters are completed on Minbar.

Outside the station spins a cargo bubble. A seated corpse is visible inside.

Greeting Lochley in his office, Sheridan officially acknowledges that the Captain is now in command of station operations. However, as an independent state that the Interstellar Alliance intends to purchase from Earth, B5 is politically under Pres. Sheridan's jurisdiction. He explains that he specifically requested her to run the station because she is strong yet has a history of resolving tricky conflicts without resorting to force. Lochley is pleased, but firm in stating that he'd better let her do her job without interference. Their conversation is cut short when Lochley is called away by Lt. Corwin. The question of which side she fought on in the civil war is left open between them. As she leaves his office, she is observed by a tall, blond man waiting in the corridor.
