Galaxy 4 - Storyline

Galaxy 4 starts at a colony, built on an unexplored Third Galaxian planet. Kyle McKennan, the colony's Commander, gives his log about his mission to set up the colony in order for it to serve as a meeting place between the Solar and Third Galaxy. Through this colony, the President's plan is to establish peace between the two galaxies. In his log, Kyle talks about a mysterious gift, which was recently given to the colony by the Third Galaxy as gesture of good faith. It is currently stored in the cargo hold. Due to an uneasy feeling, Kyle orders the colony to prepare its defenses, since it is nearly time to open the gift. After concluding his log, Kyle arrives at the docking bay, ready to greet the incoming Ambassadors.

Ambassador Melaia and Ambassador Ben dock, having just flown in on the USS Battalion, and they proceed to talk with Kyle. The Commander introduces his Chief Science Officer, Chloe Daniels, and Samuel Townsend, his Chief Weapons Officer. Samuel immediately starts boasting about his skill with various weapons, causing the group to laugh. Kyle, Chloe, and Samuel take Melaia and Ben to the cargo bay, where the mysterious Third Galaxy's gift is located.

After the group assembles in the cargo hold, Ambassador Ben attempts to open the gift, eager to see what's inside. As he opens the gift, he realizes that it's a trap. The crew of the USS Battalion picks up strange activity on their sensors, which they share with the Commander, causing him to hurriedly depart to the control station. The colony is in trouble.

Nearby, Third Galaxian capsules start appearing in space, one by one. In horror, Melaia realizes that the gift is actually a teleporter, and Third Galaxians are being teleported into the colony with each second.

All throughout the colony, gunfire breaks out, and Melaia and Ben rush for cover. Ben tries to contact Kyle, but his transmissions are jammed. Melaia provides cover fire for Ben, while he tries to bypass the Third Galaxy's jamming frequencies. While doing so, he is shot in the back, letting out an exaggerated “Aghh!” but is otherwise fine. After a few moments, Ben successfully bypasses the Third Galaxy's signals and establishes contact with the Commander. Chloe bolsters the colony's shields, and Samuel readies the turrets. Kyle issues out a call for the civilians to get to safety.

Melaia and Ben fight many Third Galaxians as they make their way to the control center, so they can rendezvous with Kyle. While doing so, they rescue Peters and Smith, two colony soldiers. Then, the Ambassadors manage to meet up with the Commander and Helena, the colony's second in command. Kyle says that they have to send a warning to the Solar galaxy, but only a message sent from the Comm Tower is powerful enough to do so. Chloe gives the Commander her EMP rifle before the group sets off for the Tower.

The group boards a tram, but it is destroyed by Third Galaxians, forcing them to take the rest of the journey on foot. They eventually get to the tower, but are attacked by robotic drones of the Third Galaxy. Back in the main sector of the colony, Samuel and Chloe are fighting tirelessly as they attempt to protect the civilians.

During the battle with the drones, Helena is badly injured. After their battle, the group arrives at the Comm Tower. Ben attempts to send the message, while Kyle and Melaia tend to Helena, Peters, and Smith. Kyle then escorts Melaia to a shuttle so she can escape. They fight two more drones, and Kyle destroys them with Chloe’s EMP rifle. Melaia tells Kyle that she will return before boarding the escape shuttle. Kyle seals the door behind him and returns to his friends. Melaia returns to the USS Battalion, who escapes the Capsule's fire. Captain Elaine Rice is an experienced Captain, and the USS Battalion leaves the colony space relatively unscathed.

Ambassadors Salesh and Luna, on a research mission, arrive near Tallia, an Orchastrainian planet. With them is a small fleet of Orchastrainian ships. Salesh previously found an artifact linking it to the planet, and they have arrived at Tallia to research it. They scan the planet, managing to locate ruins on its surface. Unknown contacts appear on their sensors, however, which they immediately recognize as Third Galaxian Capsules. As if waiting for them, a Third Galaxian fleet appears quickly and attacks them. The Ambassadors' ship is hailed, and the head of the Third Galaxians' fleet warns, "If you don’t comply, we will be in declaration of galactic warfare.“ A skirmish takes place, and many Orchastrainian ships are destroyed. Luna knows that they can't unlock the artifact's secrets without doing research, so their ship enters Tallia's atmosphere in an attempt to find the ruins. Luna is pursued by three Third Galaxian ships, but manages to shoot down two of them, one piloted by the enemy Commander. After they arrive at the planet, Luna and Salesh find the ruins. They send a message to the Solar Galaxy while Orchastrainian and Third Galaxian fleets continue fighting above them.

Back at the Solar Galaxy, Sally gets Ambassador Luna's and Ambassador Ben's messages, but Ambassador Hoch annoys her, demanding access to Ghana. Sally leaves to report to the President, so Hoch attempts to use her computer, but is denied access, no matter what he does. Sally shows the President Luna’s message, and he immediately orders a council meeting. The President asks Admiral Seth to assemble his best team for the mission. Seth calls Alex and Jhaldis, who happen to be currently looking at houses. Jhaldis, Tyler, and Trixie go to the White House, and Alex leaves them to pick up Mark.

At the council meeting, the President tells everyone that the USS Savior will aid the colony, and the USS Silencer will escort Nurse Jasmine and Doctor Soto to Tallia, so they can treat the wounded. The President gives Alex's team a day to prepare. After they are briefed, everyone decides to go to the Laughing Mermaid, Jhaldis' bar and restaurant.

Alex is briefed on the way to Mark and Melaia's house, before getting Jhaldis' message to go to the Laughing Mermaid. After he arrives at Mark and Melaia's house, he, Mark and Leah, set off to the Laughing Mermaid. Leah is excited to see everyone and wishes to meet Ambassador Salesh, so Mark promises that she will see him on her birthday.

After the men arrive at the Laughing Mermaid, they talk to Lissa, who seats them. Jhaldis waves to Leah, who runs up to hug her, after greeting Lissa. Mark talks to Lissa about how Leah and Melaia inspire him, as well as how much he loves them. Later, a rude woman griefs Lissa about her sauce. Lissa sends Willie, her coworker, to assist her. As Mark joins his wife and friends, Lissa deals with the rude woman, explaining to her that tartar sauce is supposed to be cold. The friends enjoy the company of each other.

When they are ready, Alex and his crew board the USS Silencer and start their way to Orchastrainia, accompanied by the USS Citizen, under command of Captain Karen, and the USS Matilda, led by Captain Bethany.

Meanwhile, the USS Battalion reaches the USS Savior, and they answer Melaia's distress signal. Melaia's ship docks onto the USS Savior, and Melaia is escorted by Luke to the bridge. Luke and Melaia catch up, and Melaia remembers that he was on Mark's mission years ago. After they arrive at the bridge, Melaia talks to Captain McDonall, and they go to her quarters. She sends a message to the President and explains the colony's situation. He sends the Solar fleet in return.

On Tallia, Ambassadors Luna and Salesh are scanning the ruins, but their ship gets shot down by the remaining Third Galaxian ship. The ship's Commander is killed, and Ambassador Luna is greatly injured.

The USS Silencer arrives at Tallia, and Tyler helps Nurse Jasmine and Doctor Soto assemble their equipment. The USS Citizen and USS Matilda fight alongside the Orchastrainian fleet, and manage to destroy all of the Capsules. The Silencer enters Tallia and Alex and his crew attempt to find Luna’s ship. After locating it, they land nearby. They find her blood leading to immense ruins in the distance. The group manages to find the Ambassadors, and Nurse Jasmine and Doctor Soto stabilize Luna while Alex stands guard against the attacking Third Galaxians. After Ambassador Luna is stabilized, she is put onto a medical bed and is carried back into the Silencer, protected by Alex and his team. A powerful Third Galaxian weapon arrives, and a Third Galaxian messages the USS Silencer, telling them that they shouldn’t have messed with the Third Galaxy. The weapon explodes, destroying Tallia, but the Silencer escapes in time.

After they return to the Solar Galaxy, Ambassador Salesh tells the President what happened, and says that Luna must return to Orchastrainia, in order to make a full recovery. She has been so injured that she cannot even speak. The President briefly becomes outraged at the Third Galaxians' display of violence, but Lendana comforts him.

At the USS Savior, Captain McDonall and Melaia are greeted by Mertha, and the Captain is thankful that the Solar fleet has finally arrived. Together, they return to the colony. A great fight takes place, and Mertha manages to strengthen the ship's shields. The USS Savior provides cover fire so Melaia's ship, the USS Battalion, can land on the colony without being attacked.

After Melaia arrives at the colony, it is still under attack, and its soldiers are struggling to protect it. She and Mertha manage to find Commander Kyle. He tells them that Ambassador Ben became separated from the main group, so all three of them rescue him, together. Mertha is happy, knowing the University wouldn't be the same without Ben. The group returns to Helena, Peters, and Smith, and they rendezvous with Samuel and Chloe. Kyle activates the USS Eviscerator, while the group defends him. They board the ship with the soldiers and depart, and are messaged that the USS Savior, along with the Solar fleet, has destroyed most of the Third Galaxian forces. The colony is safe, but a Third Galaxian weapon suddenly arrives and detonates, causing the colony to explode. The USS Eviscerator retreats, but is pursued in lightspeed by yet another weapon. They attempt a different course and arrive at the Solar Galaxy.

Ambassador Salesh, along with Alex and Jhaldis, visit Ambassador Luna in the USS Silencer's infirmary. Luna has recovered enough to speak, and she says that she was looking at how the Third Galaxians obtained the means to make the weapons from ancient technology. She found the coordinates to where an ancient beacon was located, which could be strong enough to destroy the weapons. She says that it's not on Orchastrainia, but it is on Earth. She says that there is no time to return to Orchastrainia to treat her wounds. Alex sends a message to inform the President. Admiral Seth deploys the main Solar fleet, and activates the Barrier. Ambassador Salesh orders the Orchastrainian fleet to the Solar Galaxy, in order to protect them.

The USS Silencer returns to Earth, and they make their way to Luna's coordinates, which lead to Antarctica. The USS Savior arrives with the Third Galaxian weapon in tow, but the Solar fleet is ready. A galaxy-wide battle takes place, and many ships are lost, including the USS Matilda. Melaia goes to Antarctica, to accompany Alex and his team.

The USS Silencer lands after having located the beacon. Alex, Melaia, Luna, and Salesh split up and activate the seven pillars of the beacon.

Meanwhile in space, the Barrier is attacked, but it holds. The weapon arrives and fires, destroying the Barrier. Third galaxy ships enter Earth's atmosphere.

Jhaldis, Tyler, and Trixie fend off Third Galaxians while Luna and the others arm the pillars. After the last pillar is activated, Luna says goodbye to Salesh and rushes to the center of the beacon. Melaia runs after her, and the two meet at the center. Melaia attempts to fight luna away from the beacon, but is pushed away. “I'm doing this for all of you,” Luna says tearfully as she activates the device and goes into the beacon’s beam. Salesh and Alex approach, and Salesh is traumatized by Luna's loss. The beacon activates and shoots its beam towards the Third Galaxian weapon, which activates and shoots towards Earth. The beacon’s power is stronger, and the weapon is destroyed.

The President thanks everyone as they attend the funeral of Luna. They all say fond memories and praise her act of selflessness. Everyone is heartbroken.

After a few days, the scene changes to Leah’s birthday party at the Laughing Mermaid. Ambassador Salesh appears and tells Leah about Luna and her sacrifice to save the Solar Galaxy. While he talks, Mertha and Ben talk about their experiences, Alex and Jhaldis pick a house and get married, the President and Lendana bond as they look into the stars, Sally and Seth reminisce about how much they've grown, and Melaia and Mark are happy with their daughter. Leah and Melaia take a moment to themselves before joining everyone. Leah asks her mother not to sacrifice herself, and Melaia promises her that she won’t.
