TRIVIA

"Sic Transit Vir" is Latin for "thus passes Vir." This is a variation on the phrase "sic transit gloria mundi," a phrase which appears several times in Babylon 5 continuity (including the final episode of season 4). It translates as: "thus passes the glory of the world."
Lyndisty's full name is Lyndisty Drusella. Drusella is a variant of the name Drusilla. Historically, Drusilla was the daughter of Herod Agrippa the brutal king of ancient Israel; she later married Marcus Antonius Felix, who was himself responsible for a reign of tyranny in ancient Judea.
SPOILER: According to Babylon 5 canon, Lyndisty later died during the attack on Centauri Prime in the installment, "Babylon 5" (1994) {The Fall of Centauri Prime (#5.18)}.
