## Casualties

The **Imperial–Earth War** was an armed conflict between the Allies of Earth and the Galactic Empire. Hostilities began when the United States Department of Defense alerted the Space Force of a NASA satellite picking up multiple UFO and 0-8-4's entering the Milky Way Galaxy through the vertical entry point. After an immediate response, American Space Force command ships were forced to pull back towards Earth after they were outnumbered by around a total of 1,000 Empire aircraft. Eventually backing all the way towards the planet, American forces were forced to retreat or be annihilated by the imperial force, leading the Imperial Army and Navy to advance forward and penetrate Earth's atmosphere. The Empire's forces, at Emperor Palpatine's command, landed in the countryside of North Korea.

The main issue is imperial annexation. The Galactic Empire invaded the planet with the intentions not to destroy, but conquer Earth knowing that it is a valuable resource. Beginning in North Korea, the Empire has most recently begun moving south past the DMZ and into South Korea with the intentions of taking Seoul. It is believed that if the imperial forces take the Korean peninsula, the Navy will begin moving west to conquer the remainder of Asia before pushing into Europe.

## Historical background

### Early days

For the last five years before the invasion, relations between the Galactic Empire and Earth, specifically with the United States, were up and down. The United States discovered the Empire in 2007 and recognized them as a sovereign state a few months later. From 2007-2016, no conversation or records were kept between the two nation's as they were billions of light years away from each other and in separate galaxies.

#### Tensions arise

However, tensions began arising at the end of the 2010's decade when the Empire made a series of militarized action and invasions of other planets in their galaxy, and galaxies around them. The United States was quick to condemn the Empire's actions and call out the Emperor for his totalitarian actions. This resulted in months of verbal attacks back and forth between the two nation's, as well as multiple threats of militarized action.

#### Conflict

After President Tom Kirkman visited Coruscant, the capital planet of the Empire in 2020, tensions turned into conflict when Imperial forces invaded the United States and launched a surprise attack on Blaine County, a rural county outside of Los Santos on the island of San Andreas, just off the coast of California. The events left nearly 500 American citizens killed. Kirkman retaliated the next day for the attacks when he ordered the United States Space Force to obliterate an Imperial patrol unit just outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. After a brief firefight, the United States annihilated the Empire's fleet, leaving nearly 200 Imperial soldiers killed. There were no survivors.

## Background

### Invasion of Earth

On January 28, 2021, a large fleet from the Galactic Empire was reported to have entered the vertical entry point of the Milky Way Galaxy. At the Pentagon, a communications team with the United States Department of Defense warned the Space Force of multiple UFO's approaching.

After scanning the area, the American command units came into a brief non lethal fire exchange with the Imperials. A brief attempt at reconnaissance of Imperial ships was conducted by Luke Stab and a team of highly skilled starfighter pilots, however the Imperial cruiser under the command of Darth Imperius quickly ordered the firing of it's heavy weapons onto the team, after a short barrage of laser fire all of the recon-team were presumed K.I.A. Easily outnumbered, the Space Force had to pull back or risk annihilation. With no where left to go, American troops retreated through the atmosphere, giving the Empire a direct path into Earth.

### Invasion of North Korea

Having penetrated Earth's atmosphere, the Imperial fleet landed in a rural area of North Korea, just south of Pyongyang. After a brief armed conflict between the Imperial Army and the Korean People's Army, the Empire successfully pushed through the countryside to the DMZ.

### Battle of the DMZ

After pushing south, Imperial forces arrived at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. With the North taken over, South Korean forces, aided by the United States Armed Forces, were able to defend the DMZ until the next morning when they were overrun by the Empire. Setting up a camp, the Imperials took over the border while Allied forces retreated south towards Seoul. A few hour later, the Empire pushed forward through the DMZ and invaded South Korea.

### Skirmish in South Korea

With the DMZ down and the Imperial forces having invaded South Korea, the Empire continued pushing south towards the capital city of Seoul. Around 40 minutes outside of the capital, the Imperials came into a brief line of fire with South Korean and American forces. The Allied forces were able to neutralize a significant number of the Empire's ground troops. However, they were forced to pull back after they were outnumbered by the Empire's reinforcements.

### Battle of Seoul

Now outside of the capital city, tens of thousands of Allied troops surrounded Seoul in front of a 20 foot tall barrier. Additionally, around 600 South Korean tanks surrounded their capital. On immediate arrival of the Imperials, S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarriers, tasked with protecting the airspace over the city, began rapidly firing at the approaching fleet led by Darth Vader. With around 3,500 shots from the carrier's canons per second, S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to neutralize tens of thousands of Imperial ground troops. Concurrent to this, the United States Army and Navy secretly evacuated civilians in armored convoys east towards the Sea of Japan where they would be transported by the U.S.'s 7th fleet into the country Japan.

While S.H.I.E.L.D. managed the airspace, an additional armed forces unit from South Korea, the United States, and the United Kingdom moved in from the east and began pushing the Imperials west towards the Yellow Sea. With tens of thousands of Allies surrounding the city, and an even larger unit pushing the enemy west, a third unit moved north and headed around Seoul to push the Imperials from the opposite side. Now having two Allied units pushing them back, the Imperials retreated to the Yellow Sea and moved towards the border of China.
