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.

You are now in a zone event. You can work together with other players towards a common goal.

[Caption] Those monsters are blocking the teleportation system! Take them out and you can get out of here! (Audio)

Shivan Monstrosity These horrible things are an amalgamation of human corpses and some sort of weird sentient goo from the meteors crashing into Galaxy City. Some claim a mysterious interplanetary intelligence thought destroyed in the 1950s is the source of the Shivans, but if such a creature existed, 'Shiva', the Hindu name for the 'Destroyer of Worlds', was kept secret by the governments of earth.

  • It summons meteors, don't stand in red markers
  • When you defeat it, it is pushed back into pit

You've taken down the Giant Shivan!

Longbow Safe Zone

[Caption] You did it! The Giant Shivan is down! (Audio)

You've arrived at the Longbow safe area!

[Caption] You should be in a Longbow safezone, but it won't last for much longer. (Audio)

[NPC] Lady Grey: This is worse than what the predictions said... and yet, it is still just the beginning...

[NPC] Numina: Please, keep moving. Longbow will assist you in getting out of here!

[NPC] Statesman: We need to get everyone out of here. There's no telling how much longer this area will hold.

[NPC] Coyote: Stay calm, we're not going to let anything bad happen to you.

[NPC] Numina: So many wounded... if only we did not lose the hospital in Galaxy....

[NPC] Lady Grey: This is an ill omen indeed... we are not prepared for what may come afterwards.

[NPC] Coyote: The Shivans won't get to you here, Longbow has this area secured.

[NPC] Numina: Ghost Widow is here... I can feel her vile presence.

[NPC] Coyote: You're safe here, we'll protect you.

[NPC] Statesman: I can't go back, not while Back Alley Brawler is still out there.

[NPC] Lady Grey: This is worse than what the predictions said... and yet, it is still just the beginning...

[NPC] Coyote: 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!

  • 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!

  • 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....

  • Back away from the sick officer

(Statesman Positron and Manticore in one group)

(Apex, Lady Grey and Dark Watcher another group on the other side)

You must speak to Numina and use the Paragon Store to get out of Galaxy City.

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. We need you to get to Atlas and help them out! You'll need to understand how the Paragon Store works before leaving, however; it has a multitude of goods that can help you with fighting crime in Atlas Park! Purchase the Knowledgeable badge, then speak with me again. [Purchase badge] (Audio) Excellent work, Character. Myself and the rest of the Freedom Phalanx will do what we can to stabilize the situation here. You need to go help the people of Atlas Park!

  • Alright, I'll handle Atlas Park

[Caption] The people of Atlas need you now. Once this is over, we'll - *CHHHHH*. (Audio)

[NPC] Lady Grey: This is worse than what the predictions said... and yet, it is still just the beginning...

[NPC] Numina: So many wounded... if only we did not lose the hospital in Galaxy....

[NPC] Statesman: Lord Recluse must be nearby. If he and Arachnos show up here... a lot of these people are going to die.

You've taken the helicopter out of Galaxy City!

Entering Atlas Plaza.

Matthew Habashy Character, right? My name's Matthew Habashy. I'm with the Federal Bureau of Super Powered Affairs, or the FBSA. Are you OK from getting out of Galaxy City? I just... barely got out myself.

  • Don't worry about me. What's the situation here?
  • I am, but what are we doing to recover it?

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?

  • Let's do this

When contacted again: There's a lot to be done before Atlas Park is returned back to normal, Character. Let's get to work.

Then missions/arc etc.

(end hero take)
Arachnos Safe Zone

[Caption] You did it! The Giant Shivan is down! (Audio)

You've found the Arachnos safe zone!

  • If you want to rely on Arachnos, be my guest.

Scientist

The man in front of you seems to be studying one of the meteors.
Fascinating... these meteors are more advanced than the previous ones that crash landed in Bloody Bay. This can lead to a new breakthrough in my research..
  • You're researching the meteors?
In a way, yes. The odd glowing substance in there could be used for... many purposes.
My name is Dr. Weber, perhaps when we all return to Mercy, you would be interested in helping me with my experiments?
  • Hrm, I suppose I could spare some time.
Excellent. When I have everything prepared, I shall contact you.
  • Sounds good. (Leave)
  • I'm not interested in doing someone else's dirty work, doctor.
