While much of ''{{Babylon 5}}'' involves political conflict and warfare, there's a particular segment of episodes in Season 3 [[spoiler: before and including the station's secession from Earth]] where it becomes inevitable that station interests and Earth Government policy will irreconcileably clash, with the station itself coming into direct danger. Probably the range of episodes from "Voices of Authority" through [[WhamEpisode "Severed Dreams"]] would fit the trope, although it could arguably start with Season 2's finale [[WhamEpisode "The Fall of Night"]]. 
* And again in Season 4 after the events of Season 3's finale [[WhamEpisode "Z'ha'dum"]], once we see the [[spoiler: Vorlons bring out their planet-killers, with the Shadows following suit, destroying many inhabited planets]] ("The Summoning"), ending with [[WhamEpisode "Into the Fire"]]. 
* And there's a third segment in Season 4, from "No Surrender, No Retreat" through [[WhamEpisode "Endgame"]], when Babylon 5 and allied forces finally confront [[spoiler: the Clark regime's forces and liberate Earth and her colonies]].
