Starfall

The Starfall happened shortly after the Expedition Upwards/Journey Above. The expeditioners consisted of Yellowjacket, Puppet, Archi, Honeycomb, Rodo, two hallownest flukemons (one would be replaced by a xenosian flukemon), Drake, Paran, Matrix, and Revlon. 
When the expedition team reached Mt. Khan's peak, they met a Veilscourge called the Starbringer. The team also learned that Rodogorgon was his brother, the Starseeker. Using Rodo, the Starbringer shattered the surface open, and unleashed the "Stars" who started the invasion which would be known as the Starfall - whose entire purpose was to weaken and conquer as many insects as possible to make the destruction of the Underground easy for the Realmbreaker. Previous to this one, 3 more Starfalls had happened, one of them leading to the near-extinction of the snail tribes, implying that the erasure of the insects is a periodic eradication.
The first large scale battle occurred in Xenosia, which ended in a Xenosian defeat and the destruction of their capital, Xeno. Along the way, Krest was also captured.
The second large scale battle occurred in Hallownest, which also ended in a Star Victory, causing Hallownest to lose Dirtmouth.
To defend the Underground from the devious invaders, a Paragon Being and a Higher Being - The Great Eel, and the Pale Duke - teamed up to assist with fighting this new threat. All factions of the known world, despite their previous quarrels, united to face this enormous new enemy. On top of this, more and more Primordial Gods made appearances, like Viridis, the Dormant plant god - now possessing Anise - and Iggy's Demon - the Smiler - now possessing Hiro.
In between the second and third battle, Krest ascended and became the Shade Lord, killing his captor, and achieving a Hallownestian victory in the third battle.
The Lord of Shades, The Starbringer, and the Realmbreaker, faced off to the death in the fourth battle. The Realmbreaker managed to heavily wound Umbra. But then Rodo returned from the dead and finished the job by impaling the Shade Lord with multiple Soul Spears, killing both Umbra and Krest. The Shade Lord, or at least what remained of him, managed to survive and hide within the Abyss, now lacking vessel and form. The Realmbreaker, heavily wounded, would also be trapped presumably within Rodo's mind.
