Guardians of the Galaxy

Template:Organization Template

*"We were gone for quite a while. But no matter what happens next, the galaxy still needs its guardians."*
―Star-Lord[[Unnatural World|[src]]]
The **Guardians of the Galaxy** are a team of intergalactic outlaws and mercenaries led by Star-Lord who primarily defend the Andromeda galaxy. The team was founded in 2014 when Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Drax the Destroyer assembled to save Xandar from being decimated by Ronan the Accuser. Recognized by the Nova Empire, the Guardians were hired shortly after by the Sovereign's leader Ayesha to defeat an Abilisk, but became their enemies when Rocket stole from them. They gained three new members in Mantis, Nebula and Yondu Udonta when they banded together to defeat Ego, which resulted in Udonta's death. Nebula then left the team as the remaining Guardians resumed their cosmic adventures.

As they returned to defend the cosmos, the Guardians undertook several missions, culminating in the Battle of Indigarr. After the battle, the team learned of the rampage of Gorr the God Butcher, prompting Thor to leave the group. The Guardians then purchased Knowhere from the Collector, where they found Cosmo, who became their new member. They worked to transform Knowhere into their official headquarters and celebrated Christmas with Kevin Bacon, whom they had kidnapped.

## History

### Preliminary

#### Quest for the Orb

*"What a bunch of a-holes."*
―Garthan Saal[[Unnatural World|[src]]]
When Peter Quill stole the Orb, Sakaarans troops led by Korath the Pursuer hunted for Quill, but he escaped in the *Milano*. Yondu Udonta and his Ravager clan went to Morag after the Orb but discovered Quill's treachery and set a bounty on him. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ronan the Accuser was informed of Quill stealing the Orb, so he sent Gamora to retrieve it. On Xandar, Quill tried to sell the Orb to the Broker and was later attacked by Gamora, only to be intercepted by Rocket Raccoon and Groot after the bounty on Quill. None were successful as they were soon apprehended and arrested by the Nova Corps.

#### Escape from the Kyln

*"**Gamora:** If you free us, I'll lead you to the buyer directly and I'll split the profit between the three of us.*
**Groot:** I am Groot.

**Rocket Raccoon:** Four of us."

―Gamora, Groot and Rocket Raccoon[[Unnatural World|[src]]]
The group was sentenced to Kyln Prison Facility, and when they arrived, the group discussed Peter Quill's bounty, as well as the Orb, which Gamora revealed she was going to betray Ronan the Accuser with. They were each then processed by the Nova Corps as he was stripped down and washed, humiliating them. They were then given their uniforms and sent into the prison.

Gamora found herself endangered by inmates whose families were victims of Ronan and after being threatened, Rocket Raccoon claimed Quill as his bounty. That night, some of the inmates attempted to kill Gamora, but Drax the Destroyer stopped them, desiring to kill her himself for the death of his family. Quill intervened and convinced Drax to let Gamora live, which would allow him to exact his vengeance on Ronan. Afterward, Quill, Gamora, Rocket and Groot all decided to work together to escape and sell the Orb, sharing the profit.

The next day, Rocket plotted an intricate plan to escape, which he informed the others on, however, Groot caused it to occur sooner than he wanted. Now under a lot of pressure, the proceeded with the rest of the plan, Gamora obtaining a security band and Quill stealing an inmate's false leg, while Drax assisted them in the fight that broke out. They all grouped up at the watchtower, which they took control of, turning off the artificial gravity in the prison, allowing them to escape and get to the *Milano*, departing from the Kyln.

#### Tension with the Team

*"**Rocket Raccoon:** But I can't promise, when all this is over, I'm not gonna kill every last one of you jerks.*
**Peter Quill:** See? That's exactly why none of you have any friends! Five seconds after you meet somebody, you're already trying to kill them!"

### Current Members

#### Rocket Raccoon

* **Name** - 89P13
* **Species** - Halfworlder
* **Activity** - August 2014 - present
* **Status** - Alive
* **Description** - A genetically altered raccoon with enhanced intelligence. However, years of repetitive genetic rewrite and abuse resulted in Rocket developing a cynical and vain personality, making him an ideal mercenary and teammate to the other Guardians. After the events of the battle against Mephisto and the Black Order, Rocket was one of the very few members who parted ways. He was the able to reunite with the remaining Guardians five years later.

#### Groot

* **Name** - Groot

* **Status** - Deceased (original); Alive (offspring)
* **Description** - A sentient tree-like individual and accomplice of Rocket Raccoon. Groot's physiology renders the limits of his speech to the phrase, "I am Groot.", and "We are Groot.", due to having a wooden larynx. Though Groot's vocabulary is only limited to five words, he usually tries to communicate with other meanings. The only way to understand Groot's speech is for someone to translate what he is trying to say, which Rocket and Quill are able to do as they have spent enough time with him. Groot sacrificed himself to save the rest of the team during the Battle of Xandar, and a new Groot was born from his remains.

* **Species** - Xandarian
