Susan Ivanova

"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me."

- Ivanova, to a Clark loyalist

Susan Ivanova was a protagonist from the television series Babylon 5, and the various media based on the series.

Ivanova was portaryed by Claudia Christian.

A member of Earthforce, Ivanova joined the military even though her brother had already fulfilled the quota. Serving under John Sheridan at Io, she advanced through the ranks until being named first officer under Jeffrey Sinclair at Babylon 5 in 2258.

Ivanova would server Sinclair, followed by Sheridan on Babylon 5 until 2262. After the apparent death of her close friend Marcus Cole and her promotion to Captain, she declined to remain on Babylon 5 and arranged to be transferred to a new Warlock class starship as commanding officer.

By 2281 Ivanova had risen to the rank of General in Earthforce. By then she was becoming tired of her role in Earthforce, feeling that she was not making a difference and her life consisted of little more than burying old friends. Invited to Minbar for a last dinner with the dying John Sheridan, Delenn asked her to become the next leader of the Anla'shok after her husband died.

After Babylon 5 was decommissioned and scuttled, Ivanova left Earthforce and moved to Minbar, taking up the role of Anla'shok Na.
