Cats of the Cosmos

:Not to be confused with Cats in the Stars.
Cats of the Cosmos is the third saga in The Battle Cats and is unlocked after clearing Chapter 1 of Into the Future. Like the previous sagas, it contains 3 Chapters, each with 48 stages. Cats of the Cosmos features most of the enemies introduced in Into the Future, as well as some new enemies and Stories of Legend enemies.
The main gimmick of this saga is the introduction of "Starred" Alien Enemies, which are unaffected by the Aqua Crystal and Plasma Crystal Treasures from Into the Future. Starred Aliens have a 1,600% strength magnification by default, which can only be reduced by collecting the Treasures in Cats of the Cosmos.
Chapter 1 was added in Version 6.5, Chapter 2 was added in Version 7.2 and Chapter 3 was released in Version 8.3. 
Version 11.3 brought Zombie Outbreaks to Chapter 1, and Version 12.6 brought them to Chapter 2.
==Story==
As its name suggests, Cats of the Cosmos has the Cats invading the cosmos and encountering more Aliens, presumably using the rocket mentioned at the end of Into the Future. The ending reveals that the narrator of Cats of the Cosmos was Cat God and that the Cats and Aliens have discussed time travel, mind control and "all kinds of obscure technical topics" with each other. It also suggests moving onward to the realm of legend, referring to Legend Stages (although Legend Stages is unlocked earlier).
==New Features==
===Starred Aliens===
This saga introduces a variant of the Aliens that can be identified by a yellow star badge on a part of their bodies. Even though they are categorized as Aliens, the Crystal Treasures collected in Into the Future don't affect them. They initially have a 1600% strength magnification. Collecting all Superior anti-Starred Alien Treasures in a Cats of the Cosmos chapter will reduce their stats by 500% each (1,600% - 1,100% - 600% - 100%).
Starred Aliens introduced in Chapter 1:
*Shibalien Elite
*Star Peng
*General GreGory
*Le'Solar
*Project A
*Corporal Weyland
*Spacefish Jones
Starred Aliens introduced in Chapter 2:
*UltraBaaBaa
*Kid Tappa
*Ribbo
Starred Aliens introduced in Chapter 3:
*Mesocosmocyclone
*Gardeneel Bros.

===Treasure===
:For the full article, see Treasure.
This saga expands the series of "elemental" Fruit Treasures that increase the effectiveness of certain abilities against a particular type of enemy. Titanium Fruit (Metal), Antimatter Fruit (Zombie) and Enigma Fruit (Alien) are available to collect here as well as Treasure to increase XP earned, max Cat Energy and five sets of Treasure for weakening the Starred Aliens. The last Treasure on the list is the Mystery Mask, which is needed to weaken the final boss of each chapter.
===Abilities===
:Main articles: Special Abilities and Barrier
This saga introduces the Warp, Immune to Warp, Barrier and Barrier Breaker abilities. Enemies with the Warp ability have a chance to bring one or a group of Cats they hit backward or forward a specific distance after an amount of time; Cats with the Immune to Warp ability will ignore this effect. Warped units will disappear from the battlefield until the warp duration ends, but still count toward the Cat Deploy Limit.
Enemies with the Barrier ability are able to ignore any damage that is weaker than the limit of their Barrier as well as any status effects that would be inflicted by those attacks. Each enemy has a Barrier with different limit and it is not affected by strength magnification. If a single attack deals more damage to a Barrier than the Barrier's health value (including additional damage from abilities such as Massive Damage or Savage Blow), the Barrier will break. After breaking the Barrier, the enemy is vulnerable to all attacks and status effects; Cats with the Barrier Breaker ability have either a percentage chance or are guaranteed to break Barriers, without having to deal higher damage than the Barrier limit.

==Zombie Outbreaks==
:Main article: Zombie Outbreaks
In Cats of the Cosmos' Zombie Outbreaks, the only restrictions to appear are Cat Deploy Limits of 5, 10, or 15, even in stages that normally have different restrictions. Chapter 2 deviates significantly from past Outbreaks by not only reintroducing several Legend Stages Zombies like Zamelle and Formicidaean Ariant, but also adding Colossal and Behemoth enemies of other traits to many stages alongside the Zombies. See the Zombie Outbreaks article for more information.
==Stages and Treasures==
Like all other main chapters, there are 48 stages, each with a Treasure to obtain. The 48 different stages are named after real stars, nebulae, planets, a black hole and some fictional planets.

==Trivia==
*Many of the enemy bases, Treasure names and stage appearances on the map in this saga are pop culture references. Some of the most noteworthy are stages 33 through 39, all of which have different references to Mobile Suit Gundam.
*Most of the stage names and individual Treasure names are reused from Chapter 3 of The Battle Cats POP!, Interstellar Invasion.
*Most anti-Starred Alien Treasures were named with a format "natural satellites, gemstone", e.g. "Phoebe Beryl" is named after Phoebe, a moon of Saturn and Beryl, a gemstone that has a golden colored variant. The sole exception is "Stellar Garnet" in which Stellar means "star". The only thing connecting it to moons is that moons can be found by stellar occultation (solar eclipse).
