Who Is Going Down With Galaxy

Most of my non-Praetorian blues-siders started in Galaxy, but I've never really thought of any of them as living there, or having any personal attachment to the place... So, no. None of my crew will be removed or changed due to its destruction.
Now, if the devs ever do the "Galaxy treatment" on Steel, Talos, Peregrine Island or Saint Martial, that's a whole different story...

This isn't necessarily limited to those who started in or live in Galaxy City. Your character could just happen to be there when the storm hits, or have foreknowledge of the event and goes in in an attempt to limit the damage/do what they can. There are many story and play style options here.
The best comics are still 10�!

Yeah, and it's actually Statesman who drops a building on you, not the shivans.

Since I have no plans to retire or drastically redesign any of them, none of my characters (of any alignment who could be in GC) who might be there would be seriously injured or killed. Most of them are ficitonalized as someone who could survive massive destruction, either through outright durability, ingenious protective devices, regenerative ability, or just a superhuman ability to get out of the way. They would dig out, dust off, and start helping or at least fighting.

I am quite attached to Galaxy City but I don't assume that means that any of my characters are so attached. Most of them have a nebulous life outside of whatever their concept happens to be.
Now, I suppose that I could do some kind of RP where I have a hero who is doing his hero thing until the day that Lord Recluse assists Statesman into dropping that building on me, and then decide that "Hey, I've been backing Team Loser!" and make a "new" version who heads to the Isles in disillusionment.
Other than that, I don't really see any of my existing characters being too directly affected by the events in the tutorial. If we could actually take our existing chars into Galaxy City and fight the shivans, it would be different, but we can't do that.
As it stands, Galaxy City isn't nearly as ruined as you might expect if Twinshot's "Destroy the Meteors" mission is any indication.

So it's more accurate to say "Lord Recluse knocked down the building with grevious misuse of knockback."
Of course, it's still Statesman's fault for forgetting to turn on [Unyielding]. What kind of Tanker is he supposed to be, anyway?
You could say that this time around, Stefan is Sisyphus and Marcus is the stone. heh.

Recluse has an END drain power. At least, the version in the STF does.

I never liked Galaxy City and won't miss it at all. I only went there to get the exploration badges for the Atlas Medallion accolade and for Numina's kill 10 Hellions thing in her TF.

No, no...I'm kidding, Megajoule. Honestly. However, my first character (and currently only 50) Johnny Lightning is Galaxy City born and raised, and his group is known in the bar band circuit there. With daughter Gemini moved away after loosing her powers, and wife Summoning Arian lost in another dimension somewhere, GC's destruction is going to affect him too. He's already taken to spending more time in the Vanguard bunker because he doesn't like "feeling alone".
