History[]
Background[]
The Xandarian Outpost was established around 2014 as part of Tony Stark's plan to set up superhero bases across Earth following a HYDRA attack on his Stark Expo in Hong Kong. The location was chosen by Star-Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy as the guardians having recently assisted the Nova Corps in saving Xandar from the mad Kree, Ronan the Accuser. Star-Lord chose this location due to having visited EPCOT as a child and having nostalgia for the destination.
Cosmic Rewind[]
The pavilion sent a group of space onto a Nova Ship piloted by Centurion Tal Marik to visit Xandar through the ship's Cosmic Generator. While in a call with Nova Prime, the ship had its energy knocked out by Eson the Searcher who proceeded to steal the generator and use it to create portals in time in an effort to rewrite history. At Nova Prime's request, Marik contacted the Guardians of the Galaxy who planned to get the generator back and defeat Eson but required the Terrans assist inside of Starjumpers loaded on the Nova Ship.
After defeating Eson, the Starjumpers landed in the Xandarian Outpost which the guardians contacted via hologram. The guardians deemed the Terrans as (honorary) members of the Guardians of the Galaxy for their assistance. In 2022, a Starblaster was dedicated outside of the outpost.
