Chains of Injustice

It is a time of expansion for the Empire. With it's grip tightening around the systems in the known Galaxy, the Imperial Navy has turned it's attention to the unknown regions. One of the first planets it contacted was a primitive one known as Earth. The Emperor sensed value in it, and desired to add it to his expanding Empire.

Brief negotiations were held, but Earth's divided countries and independent culture resulted in a unified rejection. During these negotiations, Lex Luthor approached the Imperials in secret and asked to see the glory of the Empire. He was taken to Coruscant and interrogated on Earth's defenses. Luthor adamantly claimed that until Earth's defenders, the Justice League, were eliminated, no one could conquer Earth. That claim was laughed off by the Commander in charge of the Fleet.

The fleet encircled Earth. A message from the station in orbit above Earth warned the Imperials to turn back, but the Imperials ignored it. The orbital bombardment began, and just as Luthor claimed, the fleet could not stand up against the Justice League and it withdrew back to Coruscant.

Upon discovery of the failed attack on Earth, the Emperor sent his apprentice, Darth Vader to make an example of Earth. Vader took another fleet with him and ruthlessly attacked. He went so far as to land troops on Earth. Despite Vader's power and tactical superiority to the prior Commander, the Justice League won the day yet again and sent a battle-scarred Vader and the remnants of his fleet limping back to Coruscant.

Finally, Luthor was summoned by the Emperor. Luthor offered the aid of the Light, a secret villainous organization on Earth, to bring down the League and thus conquer Earth. In exchange, Luthor would be Moff of Earth. The Emperor agreed and sent a third fleet to attack when the Light was prepared.

The Light set to work busily preparing for the battle. Power dampening collars were smuggled from Blackgate Prison. They lured the hardest-hitting members of the Justice League into a trap.
The remaining members scattered.

Three months have passed since the Empire conquered Earth and renamed it Terraria. The remaining members of the Justice League-Black Canary, Batman, Green Arrow, Red Tornado, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Giovanni in addition to the team of Sidekicks-are actively attempting to evade capture while still coming up with a way to free the world. . .
