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.

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!
  • (Leave)
  • 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....

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?
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.
  • 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?
  • Let's do this.
  • I am, but what are we doing to recover it?

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..

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?

Excellent. When I have everything prepared, I shall contact you.
