==Overview==
Once a small, sheltered district near the heart of Paragon City, Galaxy City has been devastated by a Shivan meteor attack.  New super-powered beings are caught up in the action, and must choose what path to take once the dust settles.

==Background==
Galaxy City, once known as Paragon Heights, was one of the jewels of Paragon City.  Home to many breathtaking statues, tributes to fallen heroes, it was a starting point for many new heroes.  Its most prominent statue was that of [[Galaxy Girl]], the very hero it was named after.  Many young heroes aspired to follow the example of Galaxy Girl and the city's trainer, [[Back Alley Brawler]].

All of that ended with a viscous attack.  Meteors carrying Shivans landed and completely devastated the area.  Taking advantage of the situation, [[Lord Recluse]] and [[Arachnos]] entered the area, seeking to destroy Paragon City.  Many new super-powered beings are caught in the crossfire, and had to help fend off the attack.  [[Vanguard]] has been called in to assist with the threat.

{{Mission Objective|Primary=Shivan Zone Event|Secondary=Defeat 15 Shivans|Additional=** Defeat the Giant Shivan}}

After defeating the 15 initial '''Shivan''' monsters, a '''Giant Shivan''' will emerge from the crater and attack. It will initially knock any characters present down, and during the fight it will summon huge meteors to smash into the earth, hurting any characters standing in the red markers. When the Giant Shivan is defeated, it is pushed back into the pit from which it came.

{{divbox|amber|Voice Over''' ([[Media:03_wt_15.ogg|Audio]])|

'''Officer Daniels:''' You should be in a Longbow safe zone, but it won't last much longer.
:''Caption:'' You should be in a Longbow safezone, but it won't last for much longer.}}

Occasionally, groups of '''Longbow''' troops will teleport in and out of the safe zone. Additionally, some Longbow guard or interrogate one or groups of '''Arachnos''' captives.

'''Apex''', the '''Dark Watcher''', and '''Lady Grey''' are standing to the side of the Longbow helicopter.
{{NPC Text|type=hero|title=Lady Grey commentary|text=
This is worse than what the predictions said... and yet, it is still just the beginning...

This is an ill omen indeed... we are not prepared for what may come afterwards.

Vanguard will have to prepare for what will come next...}}

'''Statesman''' is standing with '''Manticore''' and '''Positron''' behind the Longbow helicopter.
{{NPC Text|type=hero|title=Statesman commentary|text=
We need to get everyone out of here. There's no telling how much longer this area will hold.

I can't go back, not while Back Alley Brawler is still out there.

Lord Recluse must be nearby. If he and Arachnos show up here... a lot of these people are going to die.}}

'''Coyote''', a '''Helpful Woman''', and a '''PPD Recruit''' are standing behind the Longbow helicopter, assisting the wounded.
{{NPC Text|type=hero|title=Coyote commentary|text=
Stay calm, we're not going to let anything bad happen to you.

The Shivans won't get to you here, Longbow has this area secured.

You're safe here, we'll protect you.

We'll make sure you all get out of here alive.}}

'''Helpful Woman:'''
:''The woman in front of you seems to have several injuries, including a minor head wound. Despite that, she seems to be staying to treat other wounded.''
:Hello! Please, really, don't worry about me. You must be one of the heroes that were trapped in the city.
:I'm very happy to see you made it out! I'm going to stay here as long as possible to help these people, but there's a lot to be done still in Atlas, they need you there!
:* {{green|(Leave)}}
:* {{green|You need to really get out of here, this place is going to be destroyed!}}
::It's sweet of you to worry about me, but I'll be fine. I'm a trained nurse and we're dreadfully short of aid here.
::I'm not afraid, I know there's a good reason that I just happened to be in Galaxy today. Now, please, you have to get going!
::* {{green|(Leave)}}

'''PPD Recruit'''
:Hey... you're a hero, right? I could tell! This entire place is a war zone. I can't believe this is all happening!
:This was my first day on the job, can you believe that? I wanted some excitement, but nothing like this!
:Now... Er, you might want to stay away from me. I'm... sort of prone... to hurling....
:* {{green|Back away from the sick officer}}

'''Numina''' is floating just in front of the Longbow helicopter.
{{NPC Text|type=hero|title=Numina commentary|text=
Please, keep moving. Longbow will assist you in getting out of here!

So many wounded... if only we did not lose the hospital in Galaxy....

Ghost Widow is here... I can feel her vile presence.}}

'''Numina:'''
:Galaxy City is an absolute mess, {{Character}}. The Shivans, they seem to be getting more powerful by the minute.
:Unfortunately, it appears Atlas Park has fallen prey to the chaos of this situation as well.

:I just... barely got out myself.
:* {{green|Don't worry about me. What's the situation here?}}
::Longbow and the Paragon Police Department have devoted all their resources towards containing the situation.
::However... that's left Atlas Park nearly defenseless against other crimes.
::* {{green|What's the situation in Atlas?}}
:::Atlas Park has seen much better days, {{Character}}. All the refugees from Galaxy City are being sent here, either to find... loved ones that they lost, or for support.
:::However, the majority of the police force is fighting in Galaxy City, leaving Atlas ripe for the picking.
:::That's why the FBSA sent me down here, to work with heroes like you to try to take back Atlas Park. Are you ready?

'''Lord Recluse''' is standing beside the Arachnos Flyer, surrounded by '''Black Scorpion''', '''Captain Mako''', '''Scirocco''', and '''Ice Mistral'''. Lord Recluse, Black Scorpion, and Captain Mako hold a conversation while Scirocco observes silently, and Ice Mistral taps her foot impatiently in the back.
{{NPC Text|type=villain|title=Lord Recluse commentary|text=
The fools never saw the meteors coming. Our agent within SERAPH has done well.

Mako, you will deal with Synapse, should he arrive.

We have the heroes on the run. Prepare the troops to push forward!

If either of you see Marcus, leave him to me.}}

I'm gonna re-watch the feed of that first meteor hitting! Did you see how those people all ran? HAH!}}

We're too busy swirling around, we need to move in for the kill!

We've got this place secured, Recluse. Those Longbow scum don't have a chance against us.

I'm going to make sure those Longbow suffer!

I can taste the blood in the air!

Just point me where I've got to go and I'll get the killin' started!

I think I've got some left overs from my 'dinner' at Hero Corps stuck in my teeth.}}

'''Dr. Aeon''' is angrily shaking a '''Wolf Spider Soldier''' in front of the Arachnos Flyer.
{{NPC Text|type=villain|title=Dr. Aeon commentary|text=
Why wasn't I informed about this invasion?!

Do you know what happens to a person's virtual self when their real body is destroyed? Because I don't, I didn't plan on us DESTROYING Galaxy City!

This is going to destroy my Architect building in Galaxy! That was one of my favorites!}}

'''Wretch''' is standing near '''Ghost Widow''' in front of the Arachnos Flyer.
{{NPC Text|type=villain|title=Wretch commentary|text=
Wretch make sure bad glow monsters stay away from Widow.
