Humans founded the short-lived First Mars Colony shortly before 2100 according to Midnight on the Firing Line it was destroyed in a sneak attack. There was apparently some Shadow activity in the solar system in the 13th Century, when Shadow vessels were buried on Mars and on Ganymede. There is also a "secret" Psi-Corps base on Mars, mentioned in A Voice in the Wilderness, Messages From Earth, and Ship of Tears, and shown in A Race Through Dark Places, Divided Loyaties, and the Shadows Past and Present comic arc. Christopher Russo suggests New Vegas may be the place referred to as the "Martian Pleasure Dome".) The Illusion of Truth mentions both New Vegas and Slimtown as Martian cities. (Is New Vegas itself inside "Mars Dome"? Unknown. It has been mentioned several times in the show: in And Now For A Word, Lloyd's of London, Las Vegas, and New Vegas were mentioned as having issued odds on Babylon 5's survival Garibaldi and Ivanova discuss the "New Vegas Lottery" in War Without End, Part One it is also mentioned in the original script for Passing Through Gethsemane. It is unclear whether the majority of Mars inhabitants live under this central dome. "Mars Dome" has often been referred to in the show, and we have seen it from time to time. Nonetheless, according to The Exercise of Vital Powers there are only two million humans living on the Red Planet. Mars: The Mars Colony has been one of the most visited locales in the show, and many of the major characters have roots there.Captain Sheridan served with Jack Maynard on the "Moon-Mars Patrol" according to A Distant Star. Earth's Moon: Not much is known about the human settlements on the Moon.He ruled as Earth's dictator from that point until the end of 2261. The new president, Morgan Clark, declared martial law on 8 April 2260 (Messages from Earth) and abolished the Senate. President Santiago was assassinated on December 31 (Chrysalis). He became President sometime in the 2250's, and was re-elected in January 2258 (Midnight on the Firing Line). According to the novel Clark's Law, Luis Santiago was her vice-president.

Earth: This is the home planet of our species, and the seat of the Earth Alliance government.Under each colony's entry I have listed every reference made to it except for Mars (where only the major references are mentioned) and Earth (which has only a brief entry, for obvious reasons.) References from the novels are placed at the end but I don't claim to have included every colony mentioned in the novels. In this document, I have listed all colonies mentioned in the Babylon 5, Crusade, and Legend of the Rangers episodes and movies. In particular, 14 colonies in 12 systems means no more than THREE in the Solar system and we certainly know of more than three military bases and mining outposts in our system!)

Presumably JMS's original post is no longer canon, but perhaps there are just different ways to count "colonies" involved here.
