## History

### Background

It all started when Justice League member Hawk Girl's species, the Thanagarians came to Earth claiming to protect it against their enemies the Gordanians, after one of their ships attacked Earth. They were led by their commander Hro Talak, who was Hawk Girl's old partner and fiancé. Hawk Girl was also sent to Earth five years ago to watch over and study the Earth for the Thanagarians. After the world's leaders agreed to let them help, the Thanagarains started to build a machine to project a force field which they claimed would help protect Earth from the Gordanians. Meanwhile, Batman does some investigation and dissects one of the Gordians from the ship at the Watchtower. He discovers that the crew on the ship was dead long before the Thanagarians arrived to stop it. Meanwhile, the Thangarians let the world's leaders aboard their ship to give them a tour. But Batman disguises himself as one of them and learns from the Thanagarian council that the Gordanians are pressing toward their home planet, Thanagar. Learning that the Gordanians were no where near Earth to begin with, Batman then warns Wonder Woman about the Thangarian's true plan but gets knock out and captured by them.

### The Battle

Wonder Woman then warns Superman but the Thanagarians attack the Watch Tower and capture her. The rest of the Justice League then tries to get to their ship the Javelin but the Thangarians destroy it and attack them. The armies of the world try to help stop the Thanagrains but their weapons were over powered by them which in turn destroys the armies computers. The Thanagarians defeat them all and activate the force field projector which instead of protecting the Earth, traps the Earth. Earth's defenses are then all completely weakened. The Thanagarians then declare that they claim the Earth as a garrison and insert Marshall Law upon it. The Justice League is then captured and held prisoner on board the Thanagarian ship with the exception of Hawk Girl who has sided with her people. But Wonder Woman escapes and helps free the others and they all fight the Thanagarian guards. After escaping the Thanagarians they went into hiding with the Thanagarians commencing a planet wide search for them. After quickly evading them, the Justice League takes refuge in a store. But then the Thanagarians declare that the Justice League are criminals and that anyone who helps them would be punished. So the Justice League goes underground by disguising themselves as ordinary citizens.

They all split up into three groups of two, planning to regroup at Wayne Manor in Gotham City. Meanwhile, Hawk Girl finds out that the Thanagarians are using the humans as slaves and that Hro Talak plans to invade the Gordanian home world by using the force field generator to open a hole in hyperspace which would destroy the Earth in the process. Soon the Thanagarians find out about the Justice League's plan and start questioning the people. Batman and Wonder Woman manage to escape them are being found out, while Green Lantern and The Flash are almost found out but are saved by Superman and Martian Manhunter. Hawk Girl then starts to question her choices about her people and after having a talk with Hro Talak, declares that she doesn't even know him anymore. The Justice League manage to regroup at Mayne Manor with help from Alfred, then Hawk Girl arrives to help them. Although they refuse her help, Hawk Girl tells them anyway about the Thanagrian's true plan and that she didn't know anything about it, then gives Green Lantern back his ring. But unknown to her Kragger put a tracking device on her which led the Thanagrians to the Justice League.

When Hawk Girl returns to the ship, she is captured by the other Thanagarians. When the Justice League is planning their next move on the Thanagarians they storm in and attack them, but the Justice League defeats them. Then they begin their plan, Green Lantern, Superman, and Wonder Woman will take down the command ship and the force field generator. While Batman, Flash, and Martian Manhunter will take back the Watch Tower using one of the Thanagarian ships. After tricking the Thanagarians into letting them on board the Watch Tower, Batman, Flash, and Martian Manhunter take down the Thanagarians and regain control of the Watch Tower. Meanwhile, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern fight off the Thangarians and their entire armada. Then Batman plans to destroy the force field generator by using the whole Watch Tower, after Martian Manhunter and Flash take the Thanagarians to the escape pods, Batman locks them both in with them. Batman plans to fly the Watch Tower in manually, while the rest of the Justice League defeats the whole Thanagarian armada and frees Hawk Girl. Green Lantern then fights Hro Talak but he breaks his ring in the process and then fights Hawk Girl. Superman then realizes what Batman is doing and goes to save him before the Watch Tower hits.

Hro Talak then defeats Hawk Girl and continues his fight with Green Lantern who tricks him into hit a force field. Then both Green Lantern and Hawk Girl shut down the force field generator. Superman is able to save Batman before the Watch Tower destroys the generator. Hro Talak then orders the rest of the Thanagarian soldiers to stand down declaring their mission a failure. The next day the Thanagarians then leave Earth ending their invasion.

### Aftermath

With the Thangarian Invasion over Earth is now safe, but unfortunately the Justice League discusses about Hawk Girl still being a member. Just when they are about to take a vote, Hawk Girl says she is resigning from the Justice League. The Justice League then declares that they will rebuild and continue to protect the Earth. But Green Lantern has one finally talk with Hawk Girl who proclaims her love for him, then flies away to parts unknown.
