[quote=Assallya]How about a slightly different plot that's a bit less random? How about the Galactic Empire... or perhaps the Sith Empire found a wormhole leading into Earth space. They immediately set out to conquer it while rebels and Jedi types land and offer aid to those upon the Earth.Now that I'm spinning. How about the Empire, Sith or Galactic, discover an ancient alien artifact. The item is just like a giant stargate, mass relay or some other transportation device left over from when the Earth was colonized by ancients.from the Star Wars galaxy many centuries before.This leaves opportunity for the Marvel characters to possibly disable the artifact or perhaps smuggle themselves through this portal and take on the Empire's leaders directly or perform some other clandestine feat of daring do.[/quote]

You know I had not even considered this idea, and it sounds a darn site better than mine. Good call, let's go with this.

So Empire find a giant Celestial Stargate device which opens a wormhole to Earth which can remain open for 2 hours at a time with a recharge rate of 8 hours. It'll prevent a sudden influx, and also means as Assallya says something that can be bottle necked or even disabled. I've been thinking they'll be a few more franchises included in this, but none that are playable currently. It's more akin as to where some of the Marvel technology may have come from etc.

EDIT: Which era Empire do people want to go with?
