{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Operative Kuzmin|Text=
 
Greetings, {{Character}}. I am '''Operative Kuzmin''', and I am here today as a representative of '''Arachnos'''.
 
Your ruthlessness has been recognized, and Arachnos would like the opportunity to help you grow in your power.
 
Already, there are forces at work here in Mercy Island who would seek to stop your... destiny, before it begins.
 
*{{green|What forces?}}
 
:'''Longbow'''. They have attacked Mercy Island and taken over our Fort Darwin. Now, they seek to spread their so-called 'law and order' and take over the rest of Mercy Island.
 
:Even now, there are Longbow soldiers inside of Mercy City itself, trying to bring down Arachnos, and, more importantly, super-powered beings such as ''yourself''.
 
:You see, then, the current scenario you are in. If something is not done, if we do not work together, then we risk Longbow taking over the rest of Mercy, sending us all back to their prisons in Paragon.
 
:*{{green|Longbow knows that I'm here?}}
 
:They do, and they are after you and every person ''like'' you at this very moment. It is no secret that the Rogue Isles is a breeding ground for... More unsavory types.
 
:Longbow seeks to stop this and enforce their own laws. But we will not let them do so in Mercy Island, {{Character}}. Let us push these red and white soldiers back to Paragon and make them know ''fear''.
 
:*{{green|Let's do this.}} (closes window)
 
*{{green|Kuzmin? I saw your brother, in Galaxy.}} (option only appears if you stole the Dead Warrior's wallet in Galaxy City.)
:My brother?
 
:Hrmph, from my old family, perhaps. I do not care much for whatever he was doing, {{Character}}. When I joined Arachnos, I gave up on my old family.
 
:Arachnos is my family now. My life, my goals, are all shared with the goals of Arachnos. My old family was weak, this family is  strong.
 
:Now, let us get down to business regarding the forces here that seek to stop you.

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. Formerly a home to an array of breathtaking statues, they stood as tributes dedicated to many fallen heroes.

The city was renamed after the post-Rikti-restoration, in honor and remembrance of Galaxy Girl, a.k.a. Kelly Graham, a favorite of Paragon Heights. A darling sweetheart to everyone who called the area home, and a kind and compassionate matron to her extended family, Kelly was a true daughter of the neighborhood. A proposal was put forward during the rebuilding to not only raise a tall monument to her, but to rename the area Galaxy City after one of their own. An impressive statue of Galaxy Girl was erected during the rebuilding, and it stood gracefully amidst the former city's skyline, holding up her hands to the clouds.

The district was formerly a hub for many heroes entering Paragon City, seeking aid and training from the famous Back Alley Brawler as they dealt with a local Hellion problem. That comparatively peaceful time ended with a vicious attack, when meteors carrying Shivans landed and devastated the pristine city. Taking advantage of the situation, Lord Recluse and Arachnos entered the area, seeking a way to take advantage in the chaotic aftermath. Vanguard and The Freedom Corps have been called in to assist with the Shivan threat, and many new super-powered beings are caught in the crossfire.
