🌌 The Invasion of Earth – Scenario Overview

Three Years Ago: First Contact

Three years ago, Earth was thrown into chaos when an intergalactic empire known as the Krieg Empire launched a sudden, brutal invasion. Their goal: to conquer Earth and claim the entire solar system as part of their ever-expanding dominion.

The vanguard of this assault came in the form of Kroigs—ant-like, hyper-durable alien foot soldiers. Immune to conventional weaponry and deployed in overwhelming numbers, these bio-engineered monsters devastated nations within days. Cities fell. Governments collapsed. Humanity's survival hung by a thread.

But the invasion was only the beginning. The Kroigs were sent not to win the war, but to weaken Earth's defenders, exhaust their resources, and pave the way for the Empire's true power: its elite military and cosmic warriors.

🛡️ Humanity's Response: The Hero Alliance

In the face of extinction, all major Hero Associations across the globe united to form a single worldwide alliance: The Pillars. This coalition was forged to pool power, coordinate resistance, and ensure Earth’s survival.

👑 The Krieg Empire

The Krieg Empire is a galactic superpower that spans millions of planets across countless galaxies. Founded over a million years ago and headquartered 25,000 light-years from Earth, the Empire was built on conquest, enslavement, and absolute control.

Their leader, Emperor Raja, is a being of near-godlike power. Originally human, Raja evolved into something cosmic through centuries of technological and biological advancement. To his people, he is immortal, invincible, and unquestionable.

Updates 7/5/25: I added extra images and expanded the whole Krieg Empire invasion lore. 7/8/25: I consulted Dr. Chatgpt and kinda dialed up their personalities up to 11 since they we're kinda basic. Added a dialogue quirk for Red.

Note: This is still a work in progress. I plan to add more pictures, especially seggs pictures.
