Galactic Battle[]

Episode I: Imperial Takeover[]

Following the arrival of the Death Star, Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Resistance arrived on Oninoshima to help the residents survive the galactic threat. Most of The Resistance set up their Resistance Base while the Clone Troopers set up their own Outpost Enclave and began working as a unified effort in spite of the Empire's new allies. Luke, determined to enlist new allies, tells Leia that people such as Hope, Jones and The Looper will be good to recruit.

Meanwhile, The Looper has been watching Poe Dameron's squadron flying and was approached by the latter, asking if they were a spy, or if they wanted to join. After passing the flight tests, Dameron granted them membership in his squadron alongside Pilot's wings, making The Looper an official member of The Resistance's military henceforth.

Going to investigate, The Looper discovers the Rebels' Data Log Entries, where they mainly learn how some of the rebels are discouraged by seeing how outgunned they are, while another log talks about rumors concerning a major counteroffensive move against The Empire. Later, infiltrating Vader Samurai's Solitude, they discover Imperial Data Log Entries from its Stormtroopers, some of whom are alarmed by the number of people dancing on the island, others are worried about being stuck there, and one of them experienced and was terrified by one of the Rift-To-Go's. However, one of the logs mentions that Emperor Palpatine is interested in the "junk" of Oninoshima. The Stormtroopers don't really know why this is the case, but if they find anything interesting they will report it to the Emperor as soon as possible.

Episode II: The Pull of the Force[]

The Sith Lord Darth Maul, as well as the Jedi Master Mace Windu both emerge and intervene in the conflict. General Grievous opposed Windu and his troopers, aiming to collect as many Lightsabers of Fallen Jedi^[3] as possible, awarding a great weapon^[4] for those who help him.^[5] Darth Maul's involvement remains unclear, however it is known that Maul wants to express his wrath on the Jedi.^[6]

The Looper meets up with Leia Organa. She sought after a rebel loyalist to formulate a plan on how to figure out why The Empire has taken a detour to Oninoshima, so they team up discover the truth. Through The Resistance's team of spies, they know to search for a hidden Empire cache, which the Looper was able to find by hotwiring a cannon into a mountain. Viewing them as an honorary rebel, Leia becomes even more determined to find the brave and skilled allies that this Island has after hearing what the Empire has planned.

Meanwhile, the Looper meets up with and impresses Han Solo by beating his score and taking out a few Stormtroopers. They are successfully able to befriend him, with Han telling them to lead the way when it matters.

Likewise to Han, the Looper meets up with Luke Skywalker for a training session. They accept that they must face their fears, their anger, their doubt, all in pursuit of greatness. Impressed, Luke feels as if they possess the heart of a Jedi, and invites them to train some more with him if they so wish.

Jar Jar Binks meets The Looper and informs them of how he wants the morale of the Clone Troopers to be boosted for the war effort. To do so, he has them bring freshly-caught fish back to them. While there, he quests they spray paint their outposts to make them look, as he puts it, "pretty". These sprays highlight their brave warrior deeds, which succeeds in boosting their morale.

Chewbacca arrives on the Island and gets to work with assisting the Rebels in facing the Imperial threat, attacking their Outposts and bringing along Wookiee Bowcasters for the battle as well.

Episode III: Mandalorian Rising[]

The Mandalorian Warriors expect honor, loyalty, and strength, whether among themselves, but also from their allies. However, they suspect that their most recent allies and employer, the Galactic Empire, betrayed them and their agreement. Ironically, the mercenaries recruits another mercenary, The Looper, in an effort to find proof of this speculated betrayal. Infiltrating Outposts to dig into the Empire's data, The Looper found irrefutable proof of their betrayal, as well as a plan that the Mandalorians deemed completely dishonorable once informed by The Looper. Finding an honorable trust within The Looper, they break their contract with the Empire and turn against them, therefore joining The Resistance.

Meanwhile, over at The Resistance Base, the rebellion gears up for their ultimate plan to stop the Empire. They ultimately conclude that the best way to achieve victory would be by striking the heart of the issue, the armies invading the island, by infiltrating the Death Star. They utilize their holotables to project the Death Star and discuss their battle plans.

Episode IV: Star Destroyer Bombardment[]

As per Vader's orders, a Star Destroyer was deployed to bombard The Resistance and their allies. In the meantime, Emperor Palpatine ordered the Death Star's superlaser to be charged to decimate the Oninoshima Island.

According to their intel, the Death Star's superlaser will be charged in around a week's time, leaving them only a short window to execute their infiltration plan. Leia Organa upgrades her Rebel Outpost with extra landing pads and rebel technology, with everybody preparing for the effort of infiltrating and sabotaging the Death Star itself from within, saving the Island from the Emperor's might for good.

Death Star Sabotage[]

After a successful assault on Star Destroyers around the Death Star, Hope, Jones, The Looper and their resistance allies successfully infiltrate the Death Star. Some disguise themselves as Stormtroopers, while others pose as prisoners, allowing them to slip past Imperial forces undetected. Once inside, they sabotage the tractor beam systems and other critical technologies, significantly reducing the Death Star's threat level—provided their mission succeeds.

Meanwhile, Fishstick attempts to experiment with a Rift-To-Go in space—an untested maneuver. The device caus him to vanish from the group and makes it appear in space, outside. This sabotage effort serves as the core of the resistance's inside operation, while the Blue Squadron maintains communication with Jones and Hope to coordinate their bombing run.

After disabling the Death Star's laser cannons, to allow Blue Leader's Tie Fighter Squadron to do their move, the team is soon confronted by a pair of Stormtroopers. Jones tries to use Jedi mind tricks, but the attempt fails, forcing the group to neutralize the enemies with conventional weapons. This is followed by a trip to the Tie Fighter ships room, with a fight against the Imperial forces. Just as escape seems within reach, a TIE Fighter crashes into the bridge, separating Hope from the rest of the team.

Trapped in what appears to be a dead end, the group faces Emperor Palpatine himself. He effortlessly deflects their attacks, disarms them using the Force, and overwhelms them with Force Lightning. With the team incapacitated and no options remaining, Jones prepares for the worst—until Hope returns just in time. She uses a Rift-To-Go to shield Jones from Palpatine's final strike. Though unsure if it would work, the gambit pays off: Jones, Hope and The Looper escapes moments before the Death Star explodes along with Fishstick and the few surviving members, falling toward the Island. However, the debris rains down on the Island, striking several places as well as the portal at Predator Peak.

Colliding with the Spirit Realm portal, the fragment triggered a powerful energy wave that hits the reality barrier surrounding Oninoshima and sends a reality wave across the Island, hitting a Battle Bus with people inside and granting superpowers. At the same time, The Looper crashed on Oninoshima, unconscious, after being hit by the powerful wave. Just like the people of the Battle Bus, they also awakened powers of an unknown nature. In the meantime, seizing the chaos, Mask Maker Daigo breaks free alongside the Demon Warriors and invades Oninoshima.

Chapter 6: Season 3[]

The Resistance went back to their home reality, leaving Hope and Jones to continue their quest with The Supernovas. However, the main bases left behind from the war still remained.

Scrapped Storyline[]

• According to Leaks from a reliable insider, the original story of Galactic Battle's version of the Galactic Empire was to use their own Zero Shard to gather a Multiversal Council of Sith Lords. Palpatine then reportedly wanted Oninoshima's Zero Shard. This would have explained the staggering number of Sith Lords and the apparent breakdown of the Rule of Two as well as the number of fused eras. However, this storyline appears to have been scrapped for unknown reasons.^[7]
