Re: [GZG] Shipping sheep [TOBECLASSIFIED] [SEC=PERSONAL]

Part of that was the longer civilian routes compared to the military
routes.  Due to the vagueries & dangers of hyperspace, some routes were
military only (and some of those were only known to the Minbari & not
Earthforce).

The B5P RPG has some very good maps of the routes used; from memory the
civilian route was nearly 2 weeks & the military route about 5 days.
