Resistance-Harvester War

The **Resistance-Harvester War** is an ongoing interstellar conflict between the Harvesters and an interstellar military union of extraterrestrial races.

So far, humanity has been the only recent Resistance member to successfully defeat the aliens twice, hence why the Resistance has offered them the leadership position.

## Background

For thousands of years ago, an alien race known as the Harvesters traveled from planet to planet, consuming its natural resources and wiping out any native inhabitants that stand in their way. They rendered the planets they conquered uninhabitable after depleting its resources by using their planetary core to refuel their ships and grow their technology. The Harvesters had wiped out thousands of species in their endless consumption.

Among the species that fell to the Harvesters were an advanced race that were able to opposed them until they were ultimately rendered extinct. Only one survivor of this race, known as the "Sphere", survived and gathered other survivors from other fallen worlds to a refugee planet to form a coalition to oppose the Harvesters. For centuries, the Sphere's coalition developed weapons that could defeat the Harvesters.

## War of 2016

The Sphere first became aware of humanity's victory against the Harvesters when it intercepted a distress transmission from Earth. Knowing that the Harvesters will retaliate, the Sphere traveled to Earth to warn and evacuate humanity. However, Earth's leaders mistook the Sphere to be hostile and shot its vessel down. The Sphere survived the attack and was salvaged by ESD Director David Levinson and took it to Area 51, just as the Harvesters came.

The Sphere properly informed the Earth Space Defense about its war against the Harvesters and its intentions. The ESD made a desperate attempt to stop the invaders by killing the Harvester Queen, despite the Sphere stating that killing a Harvester Queen has never been succeeded before. Despite the Sphere's affirmation, humanity barely succeeded in defeating the Harvesters again. The Sphere was left impressed of humanity's efforts and determination, to the point of offering them to lead its resistance and along with new technological knowledge that could advance human civilization by millennia.
Jimmy Wilder

**Jimmy Wilder** (died July 3, 1996) was a U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 pilot and Captain of the Black Knights squadron. He was a best friend of fellow pilot Steven Hiller.

## Biography

During the War of 1996, Jimmy was stationed at El Toro. He unwittingly found a wedding ring that Steven planned to propose to his girlfriend Jasmine Dubrow; incidentally, Jimmy was on his knee and holding the ring as if he is proposing to Steven when a marine noticed them and left without incident. Jimmy was surprised of Hiller's decision and remarked that if Steven married Jasmine, a stripper, he would most likely not be accepted into the NASA program.

After the aliens began their attack, Jimmy participated in the assault on the City Destroyer over Los Angeles. Prior to the battle, he tries to alleviate Steven's concerns for Jasmine and her son Dylan, who were in the city, and humoring his fellow pilots' apprehensions by assuring that "the Black Knights will emerge victorious, once again."

Once into contact with the Destroyer, the Black Knights were unable to penetrate the force fields of the vessel and its attackers. The squadron were wiped out, forcing Jimmy and Steven to flee the battle but were chased by attackers. Jimmy's F/A-18 was flying at Mach 2, causing him to be strained by that speed and was subsequently shot down.
Умулаш

**Умулаш** — государство дварфов на Эстуре. Граничит с Шетбетом на юге, с Дурнобережьем на севере, с Анкетийским Уделом на западе. В состав государства входят четыре горных дома, один город, шесть крепостей, четыре холмовых деревни и другие мелкие поселения, не отмеченные на карте. Столица — Дэлер-Итон.

Во времена Эстурской Империи Шетбет и Умулаш были одним королевством, но после распада империи северная часть Шетбета откололась и стала Умулашем.

Религии как таковой нет, богов умулашцы не признают. Главенствуют законы и идеи того, что благополучие Умулаша и его дварфов — высшая ценность и приоритет. Поэтому для них не зазорно вести дела, например, с демонами или нежитью, если таковые дела выгодны для Умулаша. Тем не менее, всяческие культы, в частности демонические, не одобряются, так как религиозность мешает делам.

Знать и знатные титулы в Умулаше упразднены после массового и кровавого восстания, охватившего всю страну в 563 году от Т. З. После восстания установился новый порядок. Умулаш перестал называться королевством, став называться государством. Сейчас страной правит Государский Совет, состоящий из одиннадцати государей, один из которых является верховным. Каждый государь управляет своей крепостью, городом или горным домом, верховный государь, соответственно, принадлежит столице. Помимо государей, существуют различные, подчиняющиеся им, управленческие должности. Происхождение не имеет значения, и выходец из любой семьи может стать хоть верховным государём, главное быть дварфом Умулаша и иметь подходящие ум, знания и личные качества.

Чужестранцев и недварфов в Умулаше недолюбливают, однако открытую враждебность проявляют нечасто. Также к чужакам проявляют повышенное внимание стражи порядка, и нередко чужака, не имеющего нужных бумаг, веских причин или разрешения пребывать в поселениях, в них не пускают и выпроваживают из них, а в особых случаях могут выпроводить и из страны вообще.

Всё это — безбожность, отказ от монархических традиций, неприветливость к чужеземцам — делают Умулаш весьма закрытым государством, мало с кем ведущим торговлю, дипломатические отношения и другие дела. В глазах религиозных королевств, особенно тиречианского Ривтека, Умулаш и вовсе предстаёт сомнительной и тёмной страной, к которой следует относиться с осторожностью.
Resistance

The **Resistance** is the given name of an interstellar military union of multiple refugees of destroyed civilizations that opposed the Harvesters. As of the War of 2016, the Sphere elected the human race to lead the resistance.

## History

### Formation

According to the Sphere, the Harvesters and their Queens destroyed countless alien civilizations by harvesting their planet's molten core and rendering the planet uninhabitable. The species in which the Sphere was part of managed to hold them off for some time, but was ultimately defeated and leaving the Sphere the sole survivor of its race. Forced to retreat, the Sphere united the remnants of these annihilated civilizations into one strong resistance movement, and leading them in an unending war against the Harvesters.

### War of 2016

In July 2016, the Sphere intercepted an Harvester distress signal which revealed their defeat on Earth. Seeing humanity's potential and attempting to save them from the impeding alien retaliation and evacuating them to the resistance's planet, the Sphere traveled to Earth to warn of the attack but was shot down by the humans, who mistook it for an alien threat.

The Sphere was salvaged by the Earth Space Defense just as the Harvesters led by their Queen attacked Earth. Although overwhelmed by the aliens, humanity managed to defeat the invaders by killing the Queen. The Sphere was humbled by humanity's actions and, acknowledging them becoming the first alien-attacked world to successfully kill a Harvester Queen, asked them to lead the Resistance.
The Choir Room

**The Choir Room**, also known as **The Music Room** (being **The Becky Jackson Memorial Computer Lab** between New Directions and Loser Like Me, is the classroom at McKinley where the New Directions rehearse every day after school. All their meetings (with the exception of Sadie Hawkins, due to the Glee Club being disbanded) have taken place there and so has most of the show. Many musical numbers have also been performed in the Choir Room along with classes.

In City of Angels, it is revealed by Sue that the Choir Room will be turned into two computer rooms, since the New Directions have lost at Nationals and have to be disbanded due to budget costs. As of the episode New Directions, the changes have been finalized: the Choir Room was defunct. As first shown in The Untitled Rachel Berry Project, it became a computer lab.

Since the Glee Club is reinstated at the beginning of the sixth season, the computer lab has been turned into the Choir Room again.

Jiang Lao

**Jiang Lao** (died July 4, 2016) was the Earth Space Defense Commander of the ESD Moon Base

## Biography

### Post War of 1996

Following the War of 1996, Jiang Lao's brother Lei Lao was killed in the July 4th counteroffensive, and became the guardian of his niece Rain Lao. Jiang was in charge of the astronautics division of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, which was focused on reverse-engineering alien technology before he was later promoted into the Earth Space Defense. But due to his amount of work, Jiang left Rain to be raise with a family friend.

Jiang later heard from Rain again when he learned that she had hijacked a biplane and illegally enter unauthorized airspace over the ruins of Wuhan. He made favors to kept Rain away from a prison sentence and instead arranged for her to be enroll in the ESD Academy. Although he saw her enrollment to the ESD as a disciplinary measure, Rain knew that he was actually proud of her.

Jiang oversaw the development of China's hybrid space vessels and the Chinese colonization of the Moon. He was acquainted with USMC pilot Steven Hiller, who came to China as a technical advisor, and arranged him a meeting with his niece, who is a fan of Hiller.

Following the establishment of the ESD Moon Base in 2009, Jiang was appointed as the base's commander.

### War of 2016

During the upcoming 20th anniversary of War of 1996, Jiang welcomed Legacy Squadron and Rain to the Moon Base. When an unknown alien spaceship suddenly appeared on the Moon, Jiang was given the order by the UN Security Council to shoot down the vessel. On the very day of the celebrations, the Moon Base came under attack by the return of the aliens. After futilely trying to harm the Harvester Mothership, Jiang ordered a complete evacuation and was ultimately killed when the Mothership destroyed the base.

Rain would later avenge Jiang's death when she helps in killing the alien queen and ending the invasion.
Floyd Rosenberg

**Floyd Rosenberg** is an American federal comptroller who accidentally gets tagged along with ESD Director David Levinson to save Earth in 2016.

## Biography

Floyd was appointed to David Levinson, who was not aware of him after Floyd have been "chasing [Levinson] across the planet for three weeks" much to the comptroller's annoyance. He originally went with Levinson concerning on the ESD Director's travel expenses while in the National Republic of Umbutu. Initially, Floyd was unwilling to travel with Levinson to the Moon in order to uncover the wreckage of an alien ship, but quickly changes his mind rather than being left behind in the NRU.

Upon arriving on the Moon, Floyd and his group witnessed the return of the aliens, and survived their hectic return to Earth and to Area 51. When the ESD proceeded their plan to attack the Harvester Mothership, Floyd observed the ESD fleet's departure in which he then realized how his life spent was worthless and exhibited his frustrations by disposing his suitcase in a trash can.

Floyd later went to observe Dr. Brackish Okun's efforts to unlock a container that was taken from the Moon wreckage. After Dr. Okun succeeded in opening the container which released a large spherical object, Floyd curiously touched the sphere and inadvertently activated it.

During the upcoming battle with the aliens, Floyd took part in the defense, arming himself with a Hybrid Blaster and gunning down alien Fighters and soldiers. He later aided Dikembe Umbutu in rescuing and then defending Doctor Okun and the Sphere. After the battle, Floyd idly wondered whether or not he gets to keep his weapon, and is commended by Dikembe who told him that he has the heart of a warrior.
Jasmine Dubrow-Hiller

**Jasmine Dubrow-Hiller** was an exotic dancer in Los Angeles and the wife of Colonel Steven Hiller. She has a son named Dylan Dubrow-Hiller. Following the war, Jasmine became a medical doctor.

## Biography

### Background

Jasmine and her son Dylan lived in Alabama before moving to Los Angeles.

### War of 1996

Jasmine along with Steven slept unaware of the arrival of the aliens until waking up to see a City Destroyer hovering over Los Angeles. She was vocally against Steven being called back into active service but was somewhat calmed down when Steven invites her and Dylan to stay with him at El Toro.

After Steven left, Jasmine resumed her work at a strip club but finding only an empty room; a handful of strippers and regular patrons are watching the news, which is reporting on crowds that have gathered on skyscrapers to welcome the aliens. Jasmine then decided to leave the city with Dylan and the family dog Boomer, telling her boss off on her way out (as he talked her into working in the middle of an alien invasion). Before doing so, she pleaded with her friend, Tiffany, who wants to join the "welcome party" at the U.S. Bank Tower, to leave as well. But Tiffany did not heed her warnings.

When the City Destroyer laid waste to L.A., Jasmine, Dylan and Boomer barely escaped the conflagration by hiding inside a utility tunnel. The next day, she, along with her son and dog, emerged to find the entire city in ruins. They then managed to find a still running utility vehicle and began finding some survivors; among those is the First Lady Marilyn Whitmore. Jasmine continued her destination to El Toro with the survivors, but only to find the base destroyed by the aliens and everyone dead; she believed Steven was among those killed. Jasmine and the survivors camped out in the base until being rescued by Steven, who arrived by helicopter and bringing them to Area 51.

During the lead-up to the July 4th counterattack, Jasmine consummated her marriage to Steven, who volunteered to participate in the infiltration of the alien mothership. Following the success of the counterattack and the defeat of the aliens, the couple was joyfully reunited.

### Post-War

After the war, Jasmine returned to school to study nursing. In 2007, Steve was killed in a test flight accident. Jasmine was devastated by the sudden loss of her husband.

Several years after Steve's death, Jasmine became a hospital administrator in Washington, D.C.

### War of 2016

During the July 4th celebrations in 2016, Earth was threatened again by the aliens. As the Harvester Mothership made landfall on the Atlantic Ocean and its landing struts ravaged across the American eastern seaboard, Jasmine desperately evacuated her hospital. She ultimately died trying to rescue a new born child and her mother after the Harvester Mothership's landing strut destroyed the hospital, causing her to fall to her death, while witnessed by a very dismayed Dylan.

Dylan would later avenge Jasmine's death when he helps in killing the alien queen and ending the invasion.
Attacker (Area 51)

In 1947, an alien attacker crashed landed in New Mexico and was taken to Area 51. Decades later, it was rebuilt and later used by Steven Hiller and David Levinson to destroy the alien mothership in the War of 1996.

## History

### Arrival on Earth

In 1947, a Harvester scout ship crash landed in the outskirts of Roswell, New Mexico. The ship and its occupants were recovered by the United States military and taken to a secure facility later known as Area 51. Two of the aliens died in the crash, while the third expired a few weeks later. Area 51's scientists had tried to repair the ship since the late 1960's while learning much from its technology. However, they were unable to duplicate the power source for the ship until its systems were reactivated by the arrival of the mothership on July 2, 1996.

### War of 1996

"*You really think you can fly that thing?*" "*You really think you can do all that bullshit you just said?*"
―**David** and **Steve**
During the War of 1996, the refurbished ship was pressed into service by the Americans to be use in infiltrating the alien mothership as part of humanity's counteroffensive against the invaders. The ship was piloted by Captain Steven Hiller and David Levinson, and they were successful in entering the mothership and allowing the latter to upload a coded virus into the ship's mainframe and shutting down the aliens' shields.

However, the virus also prevented their ship from leaving as it jammed the ship's docking mechanism, and the aliens override the craft's control. Hiller and Levinson eventually resorted to firing a tactical nuclear warhead, which was equipped to fire on the mothership after the virus is uploaded, that inadvertently released the docking mechanism, and allowing the ship make a frantic escape from the ensuing explosion. The pilots safely crash landed the ship in the outskirts of Area 51.
Mothership

The **Mothership** was a massive command vessels used by the Harvesters that invaded Earth in the War of 1996.

## Specifications

### Outward appearance

The mothership is of considerable size: it is almost 600 kilometers long across its longest axis (length) and five hundred and fifty kilometers along its shortest (height). It is made up of two visible portions: an irregular dome on top, and two flipper-like appendages that hang beneath.

The outside resembles two overlapping fields of stilled lava, with a thin blue shield around it. It maintained 36 City Destroyers, countless Attackers and other weapons and vehicles, and probably millions of Harvester aliens.

### Interior

There are many tunnels that led to the inside of the ship, of which at least one had a triangle-shaped passage. It was through this one that Steven Hiller and David Levinson were led to the control center of the mothership.

The center of the ship lies in a thick blue mist. Surrounded by towers, on the base is a eighty kilometers long plateau on which armies of thousands, or possibly millions of Harvesters were preparing for the ground invasion of Earth. Above this plateau there is a long beehive-like structure which is the main transportation center of the mothership. This is where Steven and David were led to. This structure has thousands of openings, and out of each openings comes a strong light. These are control rooms in which the aliens control the arrival and departure of the thousands of vessels. Through long structures they connect the fighters with the Mothership. At the core of this structure was the main control and command center where hundreds of alien technicians monitored the ship's various functions along with their invasion.

## History

In 1996, a Harvester Queen dispatched a mothership to Earth, and causing the events of the War of 1996. Throughout the duration of the conflict, the mothership hid behind the Moon, making it almost impossible for humanity to observe it. However, Steven Hiller and David Levinson infiltrated the vessel with a captured alien spacecraft and uploaded a computer virus into the mothership's systems; nullifying the aliens' communications system and disabling the force-fields that protected the City Destroyer and their Attackers. Thereafter, the infiltrators deployed a nuclear missile on board the ship which completely obliterated it. The mothership's burning pieces came crashing down to Earth, creating multiple falling stars for those on the planet looking up.

As of 2016, the remains of the mothership that weren't claimed by Earth and the Moon's gravity or salvaged by humans were left in an enormous debris field. The remains were eventually pushed away by the Harvester Mothership's deflector shield during the War of 2016.
Rhea

**Rhea** is the second-largest moon of Saturn and the ninth-largest moon in the Solar System.

## History

After the War of 1996, Rhea was first colonized by Russia in which they established Rhea Base, turning the moon into one of several planetary defenses established by the Earth Space Defense. On July 2, 2016, Rhea was engulfed and obliterated by a wormhole created by a Harvester Mothership.
Van De Graaff Crater

**Van de Graaff** is a crater formation located on the far side of the Moon, on the northeast edge of Mare Ingenii. The crater is named for physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff.

## History

In July 3, 2016 an unknown alien ship was shot down by the ESD in which it crash landed in Van de Graaff. A team led by David Levinson traveled to the crater via Space Tug and searched through the wreckage where they recovered an intact container.
VMFA-314

The **Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 (VMFA-314)** is a United States Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet squadron that is better known as the **Black Knights**.

They were stationed at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Irvine, California.

## History

During the War of 1996, the Black Knights participated in an counterattack against a City Destroyer over the ruins of Los Angeles. Their objective was to test their weapons on different parts of the spacecraft to determine which type of strike would cause the most damage, and relay the information to the next wave of attack planes.

Unfortunately, the squadron was unprepared for the aliens' capabilities in which their weapons failed to penetrate the Destroyer and its attacker ships' deflector shields. This resulted in a one-sided dogfight that wiped out the Black Knights with Captain Steven Hiller being the sole survivor. Thereafter, the aliens traced the origins of the Black Knights to their base, El Toro, and destroyed it.
Gulf War

The **Roswell Incident** occurred on July 4, 1947, forty-nine years before the War of 1996, in which an alien scout ship crashed landed in New Mexico. Several military and intelligence branches of the United States government covered-up the incident, which subsequently became a popular interest in conspiracy theories and fiction.

## History

Decades prior to their invasion of Earth in 1996, the aliens launched hundreds of reconnaissance flights to observe the human race and monitor their level of technology along with defensive and military capabilities. The information gathered allowed the aliens to identify priority targets based on population density and military deployments. These missions would continue until at least 1986, in which they conducted human abductions. Many of these missions were recorded by human observers, but were usually dismissed as hoaxes.

On July 4, 1947, one such scouting mission occurred over the American southwest, which was a center of nuclear weapon tests. The ship had been delivered to Earth by a carrier vessel and was moments away from completing its mission when the parent ship jumped away from the planet, as it was on the verge of being detected by human tracking stations. Suddenly isolated, the alien scout ship lost power and suffered a catastrophic engine failure before crashing outside the town of Roswell, New Mexico. Only one of the three alien scouts initially survived, but died a few weeks later.

On the afternoon of July 5, a local rancher, W.W. "Mac" Brazel, discovered wreckage belonging to the alien ship and later reported his discovery to the local sheriff's office, which in turn reported Brazel's find to Roswell Army Air Field. The U.S. Army recovered all three aliens and the ship, and discreetly relocated them to an undisclosed location. The incident was covered-up in which the Army retracted their initial press release which stated they had recovered a "flying saucer" and instead claiming that the crashed object was a weather balloon. The military feared that releasing knowledge of confirmed extraterrestrial life to the public would cause mass panic and risking national security. The cover-up even extended to the President of the United States, who was deliberately kept ignorant of the incident to further maintain the cover-up. Due to the very sensitive nature of the situation, the military locked the ship and the aliens to a heavily secured military compound, which is later designated as Area 51, where they were carefully researched.

Despite the cover-up, the Roswell incident became a popular subject among conspiracy theorists and UFO enthusiasts for decades. By the advent of the War of 1996, the truth of the Roswell incident was revealed to President Thomas Whitmore, and the alien ship from the incident was instrumental in humanity's victory against the aliens. After 1996, the full scope of the Roswell incident became public knowledge.
July 4 1996 counteroffensive

On July 3, 1996, Earth's military forces launched retaliatory attempts against the invaders immediately following the aliens' initial attacks in the War of 1996. Compared to the attack the following day, the assault was not globally coordinated and were launched individually, though it did occur nearly simultaneously.

## Prelude

Following the day after the devastating first wave attack, which included the destruction of national capitals such as Washington, D.C., London, Berlin, Jerusalem, and Tokyo, individual countries immediately began to deploy their forces for a counterattack.

In the United States, three attacks were prepared against the ships still over Washington, New York, and Los Angeles, the latter of which was lead by the U.S. Marine Black Knights squadron. Some of the attacks were not full assaults, but probing strikes to assess the aliens' defenses.

## Battle

In Los Angeles, the Black Knights launched AMRAAM missiles at the City Destroyer. However, in what would repeat itself all over the world, the missiles explode against the City Destroyers' impenetrable energy shields. Soon after, the City Destroyer deployed thousands of Attackers that, equipped with similar shields, began a very one-sided dogfight against human forces. Only one Attacker was downed, thanks to superior flying skills and trickery by Captain Steven Hiller.

The counterattacks in Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Jerusalem, London, and every other destroyed city quickly turned into a complete rout. The Attackers did not stop merely with the forces in the air; they proceeded towards their bases of origin and lay waste them. This occurred before additional attacks that began to systematically destroy humanity's military forces. With the counterattacks a resounding failure, the City Destroyers began to move towards their next targets.
White House

The **White House** is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States located in Washington, D.C.

## History

### War of 1996

During the first day of the War of 1996, a City Destroyer hovered directly over the White House. President Thomas Whitmore chose to remain at the White House in an effort to calm the American public while the majority of his Joint Chiefs of Staff evacuated Washington. After Whitmore learned that the aliens came with hostile intentions, the President ordered an emergency evacuation. The White House was subsequently obliterated by the City Destroyer.

### Post War of 1996

The White House would be one of the first structures rebuilt after the War of 1996, as Whitmore viewed the building as a symbol of American and global unity. Construction began in 1997, with Whitmore's family returning in November. Before the War of 2016, the White House was complete.

### War of 2016

The White House suffered minor damage from the second invasion in which it was nearly crushed by one of the Harvester Mothership’s massive landing struts.

Harvesters' homeworld

The **Harvesters' homeworld** is an unknown planet that is the home of the Harvesters.

## History

### Post-War of 1996

During the Congo Ground War, a distress message reached the Harvesters' home planet. The same Harvester Queen that sent her forces during the War of 1996 received the message, and left the Harvesters' homeworld, coming to Earth to avenge their loss.

### War of 2016

After the defeat and death of the Harvester Queen, the Sphere granted humanity far more advanced technology, and they plan an assault on the Harvesters' homeworld.
Japan

**Japan** ​(日本国 *Nihon-koku*​) officially known as the **Republic of Japan** is ​a sovereign island country in East Asia. The country is a member of the Earth Space Defense (ESD). Previously an imperial power, Japan was devastated in World War II following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and has since maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an Emperor and an elected legislature called the National Diet.

## History

During the War of 1996, an alien City Destroyer hovered over Tokyo and destroyed the city in which it sustained the highest number of human casualties on Earth. The City Destroyer then proceeded to destroy the cities of Yokohama and Nagoya. During the July 4th counteroffensive, Japanese armed forces engaged against the Tokyo City Destroyer and an additional Destroyer coming from the Korean peninsula over Osaka and Hiroshima, respectively.

In the aftermath, Japan was devastated and over 30 million people perished in the attacks. Tokyo, Nagoya, and Yokohama were destroyed. Japan had suffered higher casualties than any other nation after the attacks. After the war, Japan's remaining populace began reconstruction processes to rebuild their damaged cities. It also joined the Earth Space Defense.
Alison

## History

On July 4, 2016, the *Alison* was off the Maldives in search of salvaging a World War II-era freighter supposedly of containing gold. However, the salvaging operation was interrupted by the return of the aliens, and the *Alison* found itself near the epicenter of the mothership's main weapon as it fires a beam directly into the Earth.

Captain McQuaide and his crew contacted and paid by the Earth Space Defense to monitor mothership's progress until the alien vessel departed from Earth.
Alex

Orbital Defense System

The **Orbital Defense System** was a geostationary ring of weaponized satellites, which were equipped with cannon turrets based on the technology of the City Destroyer cannons, that served as Earth's first line of defense along with the ESD Moon Base.

## History

In July 4, 2016, Earth was again invaded by the aliens. After the ESD Moon Base was destroyed by the alien mothership as it proceeded to enter Earth's atmosphere, U.S. President Elizabeth Lanford gave the orders to activate the Orbital Defense System against the massive vessel; even though the orbital defense cannons would not be enough to seriously damage it. The ESD under General Joshua T. Adams had the cannons to initiate a simultaneous countdown in order to have the ODS firing simultaneously at the mothership to inflict sufficient damage. Unfortunately the mothership fired a barrage of energy beams that annihilated the orbital turrets before they can fire.

## Specifics

The Orbital Defense System form two rings (longitude and latitude) around the Earth. They are controlled remotely from Earth's control centers. Their weapon, just like that of the City Destroyer, is enclosed by some doors. In the attack phase, the doors open and a beam is pointed against the enemy object. It then begins a countdown of ten seconds, in which the cannon charge their energy, before opening fire.
Patricia Whitmore

**Patricia Whitmore** is the daughter of Thomas and Marilyn Whitmore and the fiancée of Jake Morrison.

## Biography

Patricia was in Washington, D.C. with her father while her mother was away in Los Angeles. During the War of 1996, she and her father were evacuated from the capital and eventually arriving to Area 51. Patricia was reunited with her mother, who was gravely wounded in the aftermath of Los Angeles' destruction. Marilyn was dying from internal bleeding in which in which Thomas chose not to alarm their daughter.

After Marilyn succumbed to her injuries, Patricia asked her father if "mommy is sleeping now." Thomas sadly replied with "Yes, mommy is sleeping now" in which her reaction tells she knows exactly what this means. Later, Patricia formed a friendship with Dylan Hiller, stepson of Steven Hiller.

### Post-War

Ten years after the war she attended a STEP school for fighter pilots in Nevada. There she meets Jake Morrison, an orphan and pilot. The two fell in love and shared a mutual bond. However, their relationship often gets in the way of each other's careers.

In 2013, Patricia was enlisted in the ESD Academy but later resigned due to taking full responsibility of taking care of her father, who was suffering from mental illness. However, she maintains her ties to the ESD while becoming an aide to President Elizabeth Lanford.

### War of 2016

In 2016, Patricia was engaged to Jake Morrison as they found peace. By the time the aliens made their return, Patricia joined her father in traveling to Area 51. There, Patricia was horrified when Whitmore offered himself in becoming a temporary host for an alien prisoner to be interrogated for information of the aliens' return. After the alien was put down, Patricia had her father taken to the infirmary.

Patricia was later devastated over the apparent death of Jake and Dylan during the ESD's failed counterattack against the invaders. By the time the ESD planned their second attempt to eliminate the aliens' Queen, Patricia volunteered in the suicide mission but only for her father to take the duty upon himself. Patricia tried and failed to prevent her father from doing so. She pilots a Global Defender into the battle and meets up with her father who is pleased to see her in the air once more and states that he is not saving the world, but rather Patricia. Coming under attack by enemy fighters, Patricia escorted Whitmore to the Queen's ship before escaping from blast zone just as the Queen's ship is obliterated.

However, the Queen survived the explosion and Patricia led the remaining ESD fighters in an attack on the Queen. Despite losing her squadron in the assault, Patricia was able to disable the Queen's shield before being forced to eject when the Queen struck down her fighter. She was almost killed by the Queen before hijacked alien fighters, piloted by ESD pilots including Jake, arrived and attacked the Queen. The ESD pilots ultimately killed the alien and finishing the job Patricia and her father had started. Following the battle, Patricia reunited with Jake.

Houston

**Houston** was the most populous city in Texas and the fourth most populous city in the United States.

## History

During the second day of the War of 1996, a City Destroyer was on its way to Houston. In the chaotic evacuation, almost two thousand people were killed and when the Destroyer arrives, just ten percent of the population were in the city. President Thomas Whitmore, after barely surviving an encounter with a captured alien pilot and learning the aliens' hostile intentions for Earth, reluctantly authorized a nuclear strike against the City Destroyers. A B-2 Spirit squadron from Whiteman Air Force Base in Kansas City was the closest to Houston, in which Whitmore decided to attack this Destroyer first.

Prior to the launch, Whitmore had informed America's allies of his decision, in order to prevent other nuclear states from firing their missiles in the rapidly losing battle, until the results of the attack were clear. After the missile detonated, a reconnaissance vehicle crew confirmed that Houston has been destroyed, but the City Destroyer remained intact, with no damage at all. As a result, Whitmore called off further nuclear strikes.
The Finn Hudson Auditorium

(S3 GOD SQUAD SONG FOR ASH)

**The Finn Hudson Auditorium** (formerly known as **The McKinley High School Auditorium** and also **The April Rhodes Civic Pavilion**) is a location at William McKinley High School that the New Directions used to rehearse their musical numbers and was also used for Glee Club auditions.

The auditorium was named after April Rhodes, who was the mistress of Buddy Leibowitz, who died, and his wife gave April money so she wouldn't leak the affair to the press. April used her "hush money" to buy the auditorium for the Glee Club. In Dreams Come True, Sue re-named the Auditorium after the late Finn Hudson.

It was the host venue of the 2011 Western Ohio Sectional Championship between the New Directions, The TroubleTones and The Unitards, the 2012 Midwest Regional Championship between The Golden Goblets, the New Directions and The Warblers, the 2012 Western Ohio Sectional Championship between The Rosedale Mennonites, the New Directions and the Warblers, the 2013 Midwest Regional Championship between the Hoosierdaddies, the New Directions and The Waffletoots, and the 2014 Western Ohio Sectional Championship between The Falconers, the New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline.

In Season Three, the school musical of *West Side Story* took place here, and later on in Season Four, the school musical *Grease* was held here.

## Trivia

* For Season One, they used a real auditorium, but to save time from rushing from place to place, they rebuilt the entire auditorium on the Paramount lot for Season Two onwards. It is exactly the same except for two rows of seats were removed for the crane.
	+ *Le Jazz Hot* was the first performance to be filmed in the new auditorium.
* Rachel performed the first and last songs in the auditorium in Season Two.
* The number of songs performed in the auditorium has gone up every season.
* Excluding I Kissed a Girl, someone from the New Directions has performed a song in every episode of Season Three in the auditorium.
* There were more songs sung here in the third season than there were in the first two seasons combined. (S1: 22. S2: 32. S3: 62)
* *We Are Young* uses the same background as *Dog Days Are Over*, both being group numbers celebrating a Sectionals performance.
* A Wedding is the only episode in Season Six to not feature a song performed in the auditorium.
* Despite being purchased by April Rhodes specifically for usage by the New Directions, Finn was told in Swan Song that he could only book the auditorium for 5 minutes after the New Directions lost Sectionals. It is unknown if April was informed of the loss.
Space Tug

The **Space Tug**, also known as the **Moon Tug** is a specialized shuttle built, developed, and used by the Earth Space Defense before and during the War of 2016. Space tugs were used in the transport and construction of material brought to humanity's off world colonies such as the Moon. These spacecraft are heavily armored and have at least two crew members; one pilot and the load operator who uses the arms to transport and maneuver their load.

During the Second Battle of Area 51 a space tug was used by Thomas Whitmore to destroy the Queen's ship in an attempt to end the War of 2016. Filled with cold fusion bombs and transmitting a signal that made the Harvester Queen believe the tug had the Sphere on board, Whitmore was able to fly the tug inside the Queen's ship and destroy it. However, the Queen herself survived.
Cold Fusion Weapon

**Cold Fusion Weapons** are nuclear weapons developed by incorporating alien technology to trigger a fusion reaction that resulted in the release of massive amounts of energy. None of the devices seen in *Independence Day: Resurgence* were mounted on missiles, instead requiring delivery by a bomber.

By incorporating low energy nuclear reactions, it is presumed that the initiation of the chain is more streamlined than in the fission reaction required to trigger both classic atomic and thermonuclear bombs. The weapon's blast radius, according to General Joshua Adams, is wide enough to cover an area extending from Lincoln County, Nevada (home to Area 51) to Houston, Texas (1,516.4 miles) and enough force to obliterate the Queen's ship. It is also implied by Joshua Adams's reaction to the proposal of utilizing cold fusion bombs that the weapons were untested and intended to only be used as a last resort.

## History

Cold fusion bombs were first field use during the War of 2016, when used in a retaliatory strike against the Harvester Mothership. However, the first attempt was neutralized when the aliens dispatched drones that attached to the bombs and contained them in an artificial shield bubble as soon as ESD bombers entered the Mothership, containing the explosions and destroying the bombers.

Four cold fusion bombs were later use again in a trap to eliminate the Harvester Queen; the warheads were loaded in a space tug that served as a decoy replicating the radio frequency emitted by the Sphere, fooling the Queen into allowing the tug entry into the Queen's personal ship. The resulting explosion was contained through the use of shield generators provided from Area 51. The bombs were then manually detonated by Thomas Whitmore, succeeding in destroying the ship but not the Harvester Queen, who was wearing her own shielding device.
