Xiao Ran and Satellite Integration responded to the Void Envoys’ Final Assault, which struck Earth and concentrated its main force in the L5 Sector. Xiao Ran sent the fleet toward the battle and launched in the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor to test the enemy, while reinforcements prepared to arrive.

• Multiple gravitational anomalies appeared across Earth and in space, triggering alarms throughout Satellite Integration.
• Jeffrey reported that the Federal Army fleet was heading to L5, DC requested the promised support, and the Void Envoys’ strongest force was gathering in space.

• Xiao Ran arranged for Cruze’s fleet to stand by and ordered Elsam to coordinate with Jeffrey before launching.
• Xiao Ran linked up with the Galaxy Diva’s Tactical Armor, merged with it, and accelerated to catch up with the New Jior.

Xiao Ran, Kira, Athrun, and Basak launched an armed reconnaissance mission against the Void Envoys’ overwhelming forces. Xiao Ran pierced the enemy vanguard with the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor as the others joined the attack, and the battle began with the four machines outnumbered.

• The Darkness Sky, Strike Freedom, and Infinite Justice reached the target area with Basak’s Savage clinging to Athrun’s Tactical Armor.
• Athrun, Kira, Basak, and Xiao Ran discussed their mission to hold off the Void Envoys, and Xiao Ran ordered New Jior to broadcast the battle footage across all available channels.
• Xiao Ran charged into the enemy vanguard with all four Solar Furnaces synchronized and used the Darkness Sky’s GN Dragoons to tear through the formation.
• Basak leapt from Athrun’s machine as Athrun and Kira released their GN Dragoons, sending another wave of beams into the Void Envoys’ forces.

Xiao Ran, Kira, Athrun, and Basak destroyed Void Envoy’s interception force while the New Jior crew analyzed the enemy mecha. Xiao Ran then attacked again, aiming to kill pilots while preserving intact Fighters and Knights for study.

• Athrun and Kira’s Rainbow Cannons, followed by Basak’s fiery assault, wiped out most of Void Envoy’s interception force.
• Personnel aboard the New Jior analyzed the enemy mecha and discussed collecting intact samples, prompting Jeffrey to ask Xiao Ran for several.
• Xiao Ran agreed and charged back toward the interception force as Void Envoy’s main army fired beams and missiles to interfere.
• Xiao Ran targeted Fighter and Knight cockpits to kill their pilots while leaving the mecha intact for recovery.
• Xiao Ran, Kira, Athrun, and Basak swept through the remaining bugs and withstood the Fighters’ and Knights’ attacks.

Xiao Ran's forces had overwhelming advantages over the Void Envoys in ships, mecha, and pilots, while Xiao Ran used the engagement to gather data on the Knights' powerful cannons. Xiao Ran and his allies wiped out the interception force, and Jeffrey prepared to face the approaching main fleet and White Star.

• Xiao Ran assessed the Void Envoys' Fighters, Knights, Bugs, and warships against the strength of his own forces, concluding that his side could overpower them.
• Xiao Ran captured a Knight and a Fighter, then deliberately took a hit from two purple Energy Cannons to measure their power before destroying the Knight that fired them.
• The New Jior crew reported that the cannons could destroy units below B-class and sink a Guardian-class Warship after several hits, and Jeffrey ordered the combat data sent to every unit.
• Xiao Ran, Basak, Kira, and Athrun wiped out the Void Envoys' interception force, while Variable Fighters moved to retrieve the captured mecha.
• Jeffrey asked for a situation report as the Void Envoys' main fleet and White Star approached.

Captain Jeffrey prepared the fleet to confront the Void Envoys while attacks spread across Earth, and Xiao Ran’s group held the line against the enemy’s main force. A broadcast revealed the battle and the Federation’s response to humanity as the Void Envoys unleashed a massive assault on Xiao Ran and the others.

• Jeffrey learned that the Void Envoys had gathered more than forty thousand Bugs, around one thousand Fighters, and fewer than eighty Knight Mobile Suits, and estimated contact in twenty minutes.
• Jeffrey ordered the fighter formations to launch and assemble defensively, while the Blitz Special Unit deployed under the Mirage System to investigate the White Star.
• The Void Envoys reorganized their forces and concentrated a dense barrage on Xiao Ran, Basak, Kira, and Athrun.
• Xiao Ran had Jeffrey and Elsam broadcast the space battle to humanity, revealing the alien invasion and the Federation’s deployment to defend Federal Headquarters.
• People around the world watched the attack and questioned why the Federation fleet had not yet reached the battle, while the Void Envoys’ fire engulfed the four defenders.

As Xiao Ran, Kira, Athrun, and Basak fought off the Void Envoys’ swarming bugs, Satellite Integration’s reinforcements arrived through purple portals. Homecoming emerged with Xiao Ran’s powerful fleet, and Captain Jeffrey ordered the first wave to attack.

• Xiao Ran’s broadcasts drew public attention to Satellite Integration as the Federation struggled to rebuild its depleted forces.
• Xiao Ran, Kira, Athrun, and Basak battled the Void Envoys’ bugs while Athrun warned that their attacks were increasingly coordinated and Kira urged Basak not to separate from the group.

• Homecoming passed through a colossal portal with Xiao Ran’s fleet and appeared before Earth and the Void Envoys.
• Captain Jeffrey ordered the first wave to attack, and hundreds of warships fired missiles at the Void Envoy fleet.

The Burning Legion arrived in space as Earth’s defenders fought to hold Hades Island against the Void Envoys. Xiao Ran ordered Kira, Athrun, and Basak to withdraw through the opening he carved in the enemy encirclement.

• People on Earth and the Federation and DC watched the Immigrant Fleet arrive and recognized it as powerful reinforcement.
• Cruze, Shirakawa Shuu, and Zeng Jia saw the fleet’s arrival while fighting the Void Envoys around Hades Island.
• Bian recognized Home as a mobile residential Dyson Sphere and welcomed the Burning Legion’s arrival.
• After the New Jior issued an attack warning, Xiao Ran ordered Kira, Athrun, and Basak to withdraw.
• Xiao Ran tore open a path through the Void Envoys, and Kira, Athrun, and Basak followed, with Kira carrying Basak’s mecha using a Mechanical Arm.

The Burning Legion launched a massive missile and beam assault on White Star while Xiao Ran’s forces escaped the encirclement. As the Void Envoy prepared to withdraw, enemy units appeared inside White Star, and the Guardians and Windrunner revealed themselves to begin the final attack.

• Xiao Ran and the other Tactical Armor units broke through the Void Envoy encirclement, and the Burning Fleet’s missiles struck the pursuing forces.
• Revil’s, Char’s, Jeffrey’s, and Mwu’s fleets spread out and attacked White Star with missiles, Variable Fighters, and warship guns.
• The woman on the throne ordered a withdrawal and preparations for Judica and the Final Judgment after learning the enemy fleet came from a Parallel World.
• A soldier reported that enemies had infiltrated White Star’s harbor and that giant robots had appeared beside the fleet.
• The blue-haired woman and the proud woman left to confront the intruders, while the Guardians and Windrunner emerged from cloaking and joined the assault.

The Windrunner and the Guardians shattered the White Star’s shield with a spatial distortion attack, while Jeffrey launched Burning Legion forces against the Void Envoys. The battle escalated as drones, MS units, fighters, and other units engaged the enemy fleet.

• The Windrunner and the Guardians fired on the White Star, but its shield initially blocked their beams.
• The ships’ attacks distorted space, destroyed the White Star’s shield, and damaged the Void Envoy fleet caught in the affected area.
• The White Star’s forces sent units, including Haba kook artillery platforms, to confront the Windrunner, the Guardians, and their MS.
• Jeffrey ordered all forces to sortie, deploying GHOST-V9 drones, launching a third missile wave, and sending out MS teams.
• Burning Legion fighters unleashed missiles as other units charged from multiple directions into the Void Envoy forces.

The Final Assault began as Xiao Ran and the Burning Legion’s pilots tore through the Void Envoy forces while the Federal Army joined the battle. When Judica, an A-class fire-support mecha, emerged from White Star, Xiao Ran attacked it before it could fully appear.

• Xiao Ran, Kira, Athrun, and Basak led separate assaults against the Void Envoys, with Kira and Athrun using multi-lock attacks and Basak charging through the bugs.
• Xiao Ran enveloped the battlefield in GN Particles and drove toward White Star as the Federal Army fleet arrived and advanced toward the enemy.
• Alarms sounded across the fleets as an immense energy reaction appeared at White Star’s north pole, where Judica emerged.
• Xiao Ran scanned Judica, identified it as an A-class fire-support mecha, and ordered the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor to attack.
• Xiao Ran appeared above Judica and sent GN Dragoons and two Mechanical Arms wielding Beam Sabers down toward its head.

Xiao Ran attacked Judica while sensing the battle and the mental force controlling the Void Envoy pilots, and accepted two A-Class missions. After realizing that Judica’s pilot and the other White Star pilots were humans controlled by Yuzes, he retreated and sent a message to New Jior’s bridge.

• Xiao Ran concentrated Darkness Sky’s beams and missiles on Judica’s head, striking its defensive shield through a cloud of smoke.
• Xiao Ran sensed the battlefield and a mental force surrounding White Star and the Void Envoy MS pilots.
• Xiao Ran accepted a personal mission to defeat Judica and destroy White Star Core’s relay, along with a legion mission against the Inspector Army’s Seventh Fleet and Yuzes.
• Xiao Ran realized that the White Star pilots, including Judica’s pilot, were humans controlled by Yuzes.
• Xiao Ran pulled Darkness Sky back, attacked Judica’s head again with the GN Dragoons, and transmitted a message to New Jior’s bridge.

Xiao Ran pinned Judica down with the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor, destroying its Floating Weapons and preventing it from using its devastating beams. As Jeffrey mobilized reinforcements and recovery teams, Judica remained trapped behind its shield, unable to advance or meaningfully threaten the fleet.

• Xiao Ran found that ordinary attacks could not break Judica’s powerful shield, while Judica’s beams could threaten the Darkness Sky Tactical Armor if they hit.
• Judica launched dozens of Floating Weapons, but Xiao Ran used his GN Dragoons to destroy them all.
• Jeffrey ordered special units to attack the White Star Core’s psychic-medium device, summoned the Galaxy Diva and Sheryl, directed Kira, Athrun, and other A-Class Pilots to break the enemy formation, and dispatched recovery teams and MED Missiles.
• Xiao Ran kept attacking Judica to prevent it from lowering its shield and firing its high-powered blue beams at the fleet.
• Judica’s pilot grew frustrated as Xiao Ran’s attacks kept the mecha confined and unable to advance.

Xiao Ran fought Reby’s Judica while holding back to keep her safe and fulfill his Side Mission. The battle exposed Darkness Sky’s shortcomings against equal-ranked opponents, leaving Xiao Ran aware that he needed a stronger unit.

• Xiao Ran repeatedly attacked Judica but avoided using his miniature heavy particle cannon because it could kill Reby.
• Xiao Ran judged that Reby’s skill as a B-class Pilot kept her from fully using Judica’s A-class capabilities.
• Xiao Ran assessed Darkness Sky’s weapons as insufficient against A-class enemies because powerful particle-compressed attacks took too long to prepare.
• Xiao Ran concluded that Kira could suppress Judica and that Kira and Athrun could defeat it together.
• Xiao Ran recognized that Darkness Sky had reached its limits and could leave his team vulnerable in large-scale battles against equal-ranked foes.

Xiao Ran recognized that Darkness Sky lacked the firepower to challenge a true A-Class Pilot and began planning a purpose-built A-class mecha. When Char and Amuro joined the fight against Judica, their attacks made its shield flicker, and Xiao Ran suspected Amuro was nearing the level of a true A-Class Pilot.

• Xiao Ran concluded that Darkness Sky was unsuitable for fighting true A-Class Pilots and planned to build a new A-class mecha with stronger weapons and an A-class Solar Furnace.
• Char and Amuro arrived while Xiao Ran continued attacking Judica’s shield, which ordinary weapons could not penetrate.
• Xiao Ran explained that they needed to break Judica’s shield without harming its pilot, then asked Char and Amuro to help restrain the machine.
• Char attacked Judica with beams, a massive Beam Saber, and Floating Weapons, but its shield absorbed the barrage.
• Amuro’s green light amplified his Floating Weapons and Beam Saber, and his slash made Judica’s shield flicker as Xiao Ran suspected his bloodline was approaching true A-Class level.

Xiao Ran, Amuro, and Char coordinated their attacks to break Judica’s shield and dismantle the machine without harming Gurin Mai. Judica was left as wreckage with its cockpit intact, and two Variable Fighters pushed it toward the New Jior.

• Amuro’s powerful Beam Saber slash strained Judica’s shield, and Xiao Ran charged in as the shield neared breaking.
• Xiao Ran’s Darkness Sky Tactical Armor cut through the shield while Amuro assisted, then Char destroyed Judica’s arms with precise gunfire.
• Xiao Ran severed Judica’s remaining arms and tail, disabled its thrusters, and destroyed its other components while sparing the cockpit.
• Gurin Mai was unable to regain control as Judica became unusable wreckage, and two Variable Fighters pushed it toward the New Jior.

Xiao Ran entered White Star to aid the New Jior special operations squads and eliminate the remaining Void Envoy forces. After meeting Vireta Badim, he agreed to let her meet Ingram.

• After Judica was destroyed, Xiao Ran left Darkness Sky's Tactical Armor and headed into White Star while his forces continued fighting outside.
• Xiao Ran used his Pure Innovator abilities to navigate White Star and sent GN Dragoons ahead to destroy the enemies attacking the special operations squad.
• Xiao Ran ordered the damaged squad to withdraw and regroup with the other teams inside White Star.
• Vireta Badim revealed that she was the only person in White Star who had not been controlled and asked to meet Ingram.
• Xiao Ran agreed to Vireta's request in return for her help protecting his subordinates.

Xiao Ran followed Vireta through the White Star to destroy its mind-control relay, learning that its inhabitants were controlled Earthlings imprisoned inside a vast mechanical cage. After the device was destroyed and the mission completed, he received rare Zifield Crystal and Psychokinetist Bloodline Serum, while the fate of those already controlled remained uncertain.

• Xiao Ran agreed to accompany Vireta to meet Ingram and learn more about the empire behind the Void Envoys and Yuzes.
• Vireta explained that the White Star Core's mind-control device needed to be destroyed, though those already controlled might not recover fully.
• Xiao Ran sent GN Fangs through a passage too narrow for their machines and used them to destroy the Spirit Emission relay device.
• Prometheus announced that Xiao Ran had completed the mission and awarded him Merit Points, increased SRX Squad favorability, Zifield Crystal, and Psychokinetist Bloodline Serum.
• Xiao Ran considered the Zifield Crystal's powerful repair properties and compared it with the DC Cells and ELS Units he already had in storage.

Xiao Ran compared Zifield Crystal with other advanced materials and considered the risks of using it before its properties were understood. He was pleased to receive Psychokinetist Bloodline Serum, but remained unsure whether to undergo enhancement and decided to consult Ingram.

• Xiao Ran judged that Zifield Crystal and Metal Cell needed thorough testing before he could safely use them on his machines.
• Xiao Ran reflected on how Coordinators and Newtypes could complement his Innovator Bloodline, though he had not found either serum again.
• Xiao Ran considered the Psychokinetist Bloodline's similarities to Newtypes and its reliance on T-LINK devices, which limited its versatility in his view.
• Xiao Ran wondered whether developing his Psychokinesis would require him to become a Super Robot pilot, then decided to discuss the serum with Ingram.

After the Void Envoys were defeated, Xiao Ran returned to the New Jior with Vireta and began managing prisoners, repairs, and political fallout while planning for future threats. The battle had ended quickly with few fleet losses, but Earth had suffered devastating attacks, and hidden Fighters and Knights remained a danger.

• Xiao Ran destroyed White Star's Spirit Emission Device, and Vireta shut down the Drone Bugs, though many brainwashed humans still considered themselves Void Envoys.
• Xiao Ran brought Vireta back to the New Jior and ordered her and her Knight Mobile Suit inspected before she could meet Ingram.
• Jeffrey told Xiao Ran that resistance had ended and fleet losses were negligible, while thousands of White Star prisoners were taken into custody.
• Xiao Ran learned that White Star's Beast Pen was a space prison and that its aftermath would require extensive cleanup and reconnaissance.
• The Void Envoys' attacks devastated cities and the Federation's Paris headquarters, while dozens of Fighters and Knights went into hiding after White Star fell.
• Xiao Ran and Vireta knew that a greater hidden danger remained disguised on Hades Island, DC's headquarters.

Xiao Ran warned DC that Meteorite 3, Septagint, could threaten Earth and revealed that the defeated Void Envoys had been brainwashed Earthlings, while the real enemy was the Baluma Empire. He planned to bring Earth’s military under his control and reform the Federation, but left its civilian government and DC’s territory intact.

• Xiao Ran returned to the New Jior and contacted DC to discuss Septagint and other matters with Ingram.
• Xiao Ran told Bian and Shirakawa Shuu that the Void Envoys were brainwashed Earthlings and that the Baluma Empire was the real enemy.
• Xiao Ran pointed out that thousands of captured Void Envoys had gone missing without the Federation or DC responding, and Bian accepted their responsibility and offered help.
• Xiao Ran warned that Meteorite 3 was the Void Envoys’ final safeguard against Earth, prompting Shirakawa Shuu to investigate and Bian to prepare to abandon DC headquarters.
• Xiao Ran told Bian he intended to bring all military forces under his control, pressure the Federation, and create a new Federation if it refused to cooperate.
• Xiao Ran said the Federation still needed to exist and that he wanted no control over Federation or DC territory beyond military authority.

Xiao Ran explained to Bian that he wanted unified command over Earth's military forces, not its territory or political authority, so he could defend Earth against future threats. Bian began to accept a division of labor in which Xiao Ran handled combat while DC and the Federation managed administration and support.

• Xiao Ran told Bian that he would only seek military authority and Earth's support, while keeping Satellite Integration's territory limited so it could become his Faction Territory.
• Xiao Ran said that the Federation, DC, and Satellite Integration needed to unite under his command to resist the threats that would continue to reach Earth.
• Bian questioned why Xiao Ran wanted military control and responsibility for Earth's defense without becoming its ruler.
• Xiao Ran explained that he was suited to fighting, while DC and the Federation could handle administration, technology, personnel, and supplies.
• Bian considered breaking apart and reorganizing the Federation and DC, with Xiao Ran taking command of all military forces.

Xiao Ran planned to secure command over the Federation and DC without absorbing them into Satellite Integration, then issued orders to reinforce Cruze and force the Federation to surrender. He brought Vireta to a sealed warehouse, where GN Particles surrounded a pod that looked like a sleeping chamber.

• Xiao Ran decided to leave the Federation and DC independent while taking control of their military forces through a separate Earth defense force.
• Cruze reported that the Void Envoys had been dealt with and that Shirakawa Shuu had proved powerful, so Xiao Ran ordered reinforcements and authorized a MED Warhead against Meteorite 3 if needed.
• Xiao Ran ordered Cruze's fleet to Pluto Island, sent Revil toward Paris to demand the Federation surrender and form a New Government, and directed Jeffrey to arrange other military and political tasks.
• Xiao Ran took Vireta to a sealed warehouse aboard the New Jior, where he explained that GN Particles could interfere with or conceal contact with the Outside World.
• Xiao Ran and Vireta entered the warehouse and saw soldiers and researchers surrounding a pod resembling a sleeping chamber.
