The Galactic Conspiracy is an alliance of planetary governments, who all bear a grudge against the Hero Factory.

History

At some points, the robots who would form the Galactic Conspiracy were built.

The Hero Factory has made frequent enemies of corrupt governments through their activities, and a number of powerful planetary governments eventually banded together in order to get rid of the Hero Factory, forming the Galactic Conspiracy. The conspiracy went to hide somewhere in the galaxy.

Part of the conspiracy involved creating a weapon to utilize against the Factory, which was codenamed Project Sunstorm. The conspiracy hired a scientist named Dumacc (who was unaware of the nature of his employers) and a spy named Karter to oversee the project. Karter was Dumacc's top aide in the assignment. The weapon was hidden under layers of deceit, described as a defense mechanism, but constructed in secret, using the development of the Valiant as a disguise. Testing of the weapon eventually caused a massive environmental disaster on Tranquis VII. The Brains, during their own attempts to reach and destroy the Hero Factory, uncovered Project Sunstorm and tried to activate it. When Dumacc saw Karter and the Galactic Conspiracy's true evil nature, he reformed and helped William Furno and Dunkan Bulk stop Karter and the Brains from using Project Sunstorm. The Brains possessed many of the Conspiracy's S-12 security robots and Dumacc during the battle. The Hero Factory was able to defeat the Brains, but Karter destroyed the project, revealing his nature as a villain, and was imprisoned in the Factory. However, Karter secretly contacted the Conspiracy's leaders, who scolded at him for failing his assignment, and told them that getting inside the Factory was a part of his new plan to destroy the Hero Factory organization. The leaders approved of his new plan, so they let him do it.^[SM4]

Later, Karter was visited by an old associate, Perjast, who was secretly bearing a powerful solid-light hologram device inside of him that would allow Karter to destroy the Hero Factory from within. The conspiracy disabled Perjast remotely, allowing Karter to take the device and use it to tamper with an energy test the Factory was conducting. The tampering was successful, apparently killing four members of the Alpha 1 Team. However, an alarm was eventually sounded, signaling the destruction of the area surrounding the Factory. In touch with the conspiracy's overall leader, Karter, in his cell, pleaded to be rescued, though the leader was willing to let him die to avoid exposing the Conspiracy to the Hero Factory. The alarm turned out to be a ruse, and the members of tne Alpha 1 Team revealed to have actually survived the blast. The team's leader, Preston Stormer, took over Karter's communications, and issued a direct threat to the conspiracy. In response, the conspiracy leader killed Karter by overloading his circuits remotely to try to prevent the Hero Factory from finding the Conspiracy.

The leader, who is in a temporary base in a far-off frontier world with acid seas, regretted killing Karter. He theorized that the Stormer and his team might track the Conspiracy down, so he was thinking about moving the Conspiracy to another location, probably the heart of the galaxy. He was also now thinking about making the whole Conspiracy come out of hiding and go destroy the Hero Factory soon after killing Karter.^[SM5] It is unknown if the plan had started when Mission: Invasion From Below happened.

While fighting the Brains, the Alpha 1 Team uncovered the Galactic Conspiracy. Convinced they had to act for their own survival, the Heroes crushed the conspiracy and then took steps to make sure no one could threaten them again. In doing so, the team became galactic dictators.

Infrastructure

The Galactic Conspiracy is comprised of a number of planetary governments, each with their own reasons for despising the Hero Factory. Together, they possess an enormous amount of resources and credits, enough to be able to purchase or develop powerful technologies, including illegal ones, that they use in their plot. They also have a vast network of spies, with some situated in neighboring planets to the Makuhero Planet, in order to keep a close eye on the Hero Factory. They have fleets of ships and influence on a hundred worlds.

The Conspiracy would be willing to trick good-hearted people into joining them without letting them know about their true evil nature. This happened to Dumacc, but when he discovered Karter's and the Conspiracy's true evil nature, he reformed and helped Furno and Bulk stop the Conspiracy and the Brains from using Project Sunstorm.^[SM4]

The Conspiracy would also be willing to harm or kill one of their own for their own intentions by putting devices on their bodies at various points in time and use the devices to hurt or kill the fellow members remotely, and would leave them to die to avoid exposure to the Hero Factory. They used a device inside Perjast to make him inactive to help Karter try to destroy the Hero Factory from the inside. When Karter was spotted by the Heroes talking to the Conspiracy's overall leader, the leader used a device inside Karter to kill him from afar by overloarding his circuits to prevent the Heroes from finding the Conspiracy.^[SM5]

The Conspiracy is armed with various equipment, and some of the equipment, like small, sophisticated communication devices, were not known by the Hero Factory, though Stormer and his three fellow Heroes became aware of Karter's communication device. Dumacc and Karter are armed with laser blasters.^[SM4] The Conspiracy put the solid-light hologram projector in Perjast's body.^[SM5]
