Dark Side of the Moon: Shadow Galactica
In the final series of Sailor Moon, Sailor Stars, the Sailor Team faced off with its most fearsome enemy: The Shadow Galactica Empire. This Empire posed the greatest threat of any preceeding enemy because of the scope of its evil ambition and its sheer power. Shadow Galactica's mission was to steal all of the Milky Way's inhabitants' star seeds, thus gaining complete control of the galaxy. The empire moved from planet to planet, first taking the Star Seed of the planet's Sailor Soldier, and then moved on to the civilians. That planet was then destroyed.
The Shadow Galactica was comprised of five members, including its dictator, the legendary strongest Sailor Soldier, Sailor Galaxia. Sailor Galaxia was originally a good Sailor Soldier who was a martyr in the legendary Sailor Wars and sealed Chaos within herself, the being responsible for all evil in the universe. However, Chaos' power proved to be too great and Galaxia became corrupted little by little, and eventually became so power-hungry and crazed she set out to take over the galaxy.
Serving below Galaxia were the Sailor Animamates, Sailors Iron Mouse, Aluminum Seiren, Lead Crow, and Tin Nyanko. It would be a stretch to call these four a team as they worked individually for the most part, and an even further stretch to identify them as a sailor team. It is unconfirmed whether or not these four women were truly Sailor Soldiers to begin with. It is known that they came from their own individual planets and gave up their Star Seeds and freedom in exchange for their lives and greater power. They appeared to have no special abilities aside from using their bracelets in battle, and were perhaps being influenced or controlled by Galaxia through those same bracelets. If those bracelets were to be removed, the Animamates would perish.
Shadow Galactica arrived on Earth to the unexpecting Sailor Team. Galaxia's suboordinates moved out in turn, and each began trgeting humans to try and locate a true Star Seed, that of a Sailor Soldier. Those humans incorrectly chosen were transformed into an unusual faux Sailor Soldier when their star seed was removed. The effects could be reversed by Eternal Sailor Moon's attack.
The Shadow Galactica was also responsible for the ressurrection of Queen Nehellenia at the beginning of the series. Sailor Galaxia's purpose in doing this was to force Sailor Saturn to be revived, which was necessary if she wanted to collect all the Sailor Crystals and conquer the Earth.
Galaxia's ominous stronghold was hidden in a closed off area of the Ginga (Galaxy) TV station, which went undiscovered until the very end of the series. Their lair seemed to be some kind of dimensional rift, and existed separate from our world.
