The original character designs were by [[Kenichi Sonoda]], though these were dropped for the ''Gall Force: The Revolution'' remake.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gearsonline.net/gallforce |title=Gall Force |publisher=GEARS Online |date=2007-07-09 |access-date=2013-09-23}}</ref> [[Central Park Media]] has licensed most of the films and OVAs with the exceptions of ''Ten Little Gall Force'', ''Scramble Wars'', and ''The Revolution''. ==Background== ===''Star Front Gall Force''=== This was the origin and precursor to the ''Gall Force'' franchise. Originally appearing in the monthly ''Model Graphix'' magazine in Japan as a 3D [[photo novel]] using detailed models, this later set the stage for the animated films. Rabby, Patty, and Rumy were the only main Solnoid characters featured, and they were equipped with different uniforms, weapons, and vehicles than those shown in the regular Gall Force OVAs. Although it was the first-ever storyline to the ''Gall Force'' mythos proper, Star Front's place in the official [[continuity (fiction)|continuity]] has been questioned and disregarded due to contradictions between it and Eternal Story. Although it is the actual origin of the franchise, it is now seen by fans as [[non-canon]], or an [[alternate timeline]]. Another factor that causes question is the fact that fans outside Japan never knew of the photo novel's existence. ==Story== The original timeline for the Gall Force series consist of four story arcs: ''First Story Arc'', ''Rhea Arc'', ''Earth Chapter Arc'' and ''New Era Arc''. Within each arc there are several episodes, with the exception of ''Rhea''. ===Original trilogy=== The first arc starts with the centuries-long war between the Paranoids and the Solnoids, the [[Emigration|exodus]] of early humanity to planet [[Earth|Terra]], and the death of the [[List of Gall Force characters#First Story Characters|''Star Leaf'' crew]]. The timeline ends with events that will lead to the ''Rhea Arc''. The first story arc consists of three episodes; '''Gall Force: Eternal Story''' : In the distant past, two advanced civilizations, the [[amoeba]]-like Paranoids and the [[Cloning|all-female]] Solnoids, are waging a war that has gone on for many centuries. When the Solnoid fleet leaves a battle to defend an experimentally [[Terraforming|terraform]]ed world from the Paranoids, one damaged Solnoid ship is separated from the fleet. This ship is a Kularis-class cruiser named the ''Star Leaf''. Aboard the ship are only seven women: Eluza; the highest ranking officer on board, [[second-in-command]] Rabby, Pilot Lufy, Officers Catty, Pony, & Patty, and [[Ensign (rank)|Ensign]] Rumy. After narrowly escaping a battle, the ''Star Leaf'' crew decides to continue with their orders and [[wikt:rendezvous|rendezvous]] at planet Chaos to defend it. However, their ship is the subject of an experiment, a plan which was secretly hatched by the leaders of both races which came into fruition during the battle, and the unsuspecting crew of seven Solnoid soldiers aboard the ship is caught up in the middle. The ''Star Leaf'' crew must now defend the artificial paradise of Chaos from the Paranoid fleet and foil the plans of the Solnoid leaders. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+''Gall Force: Eternal Story'' cast ! rowspan="2" |Role ! rowspan="2" |Japanese !English |- !<small>TAJ Productions (1996)</small> |- !Rabby |[[Naoko Matsui]] |Kerry O'Malley |- ! rowspan="2" |Elza | rowspan="2" |[[Maria Kawamura]] !<small>Eluza</small> |- |[[Lisa Ortiz]] |- ! rowspan="2" |Rummy | rowspan="2" |[[Yuriko Yamamoto]] !<small>Rumy</small> |- |[[Kayzie Rogers|Katherine Freeman]] |- !Patty |[[Eriko Hara]] |P.R.

This dub was later included as bonus feature on Central Park Media's DVD release. '''Gall Force 2: Destruction''' : Ten years later, one of the two survivors of the ''Star Leaf'', Lufy, is recovered from space by Solnoid forces. There, she is confronted with the secret plan which had become reality in the previous episode: to genetically unite both races, codenamed the "Species Unification Plan". Wracked by self-doubt, Lufy is forced to make a decision as Solnoids and Paranoids face each other in battle in the very planetary system in which the new life form and the last ''Star Leaf'' survivor have established an existence—and the Solnoid army, who are unaware of the plan, intend to deploy a [[weapon of mass destruction|System Destroyer]] to wipe out the enemy once and for all. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+''Gall Force 2: Destruction'' cast<ref>{{Cite web |title=Gall Force 2: Destruction |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/Gall-Force-2-Destruction/ |access-date=2021-05-01 |website=Behind The Voice Actors |language=en-US}}</ref> ! rowspan="2" |Role ! rowspan="2" |Japanese !English |- !<small>TripWire Productions (2003)</small> |- !Shildy |[[Waka Kanda]] |Ami Shukla |- !Lufy |[[Hiromi Tsuru]] |India McDonald |- !Catty |[[Naoko Watanabe (voice actress)|Naoko Watanabe]] |[[Rachael Lillis]] |- !Spea |[[Yūko Mizutani|Yuuko Mizutani]] |[[Jessica Calvello]] |- !Amy |[[Chieko Honda]] |[[Roxanne Beck]] |- !Journey |[[Rihoko Yoshida]] |[[Carol Jacobanis]] |- !Born |[[Yusaku Yara|Yuusaku Yara]] |[[Tom Wayland]] |- !Adrienne |[[Eiko Yamada]] |[[Mandy Bonhomme|Amanda Goodman]] |- !Solnoid Commanders |[[Chiyoko Kawashima]] [[Rumiko Ukai]] | |- !Paranoid Captain |[[Masaharu Satō|Masaharu Satou]] | |- !Paranoid Commanders |[[Michitaka Kobayashi]] [[Shou Hayami]] | |- !Lorelei Commanders |[[Miki Itou]] [[Urara Takano]] | |} {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+Additional voices !Version !Actor !Notes |- !English |Claire Samuels | |- !English |David Hair | |- !English |Lynna Lewis |as Lynna Dunham |- !English |Robin Custeau | |- !English |Timothy Breese Miller | |} <span id="Stardust_War"></span> '''Gall Force 3: Stardust War''' : The destruction of the new future for Terra is averted, but Lufy and her friends find themselves in another twist: in a desolate planetary system named ''Sigma Narse'', the Solnoids and Paranoids intend to finish the war by fighting to the last by using their Planet Destroyers—which will result in the destruction of both sides, leaving them nothing but stardust in its wake (hence the title "Stardust War").

In the 21st century the Earthen discovery of derelict alien technology on the Moon—which are in fact the remnants of the events in ''Eternal Story''—ignited an arms race as the "Western" and "Eastern" blocs rushed to deploy the technology as weapons, including a form of [[artificial life]] based on the Paranoids, the MME. This artificial life turned on humanity, starting a war of extermination against their creators. '''''Rhea Gall Force'' plot summary''' In the year 2084, scientist Grey Newman found and reverse-engineered the technology from a Solnoid ship found on the Moon (see ''Eternal Story'') and unintentionally brought about the end of civilization. World War III breaks out and in the middle of battle, the human's own alien synthezoids turn against their creators, nearly annihilating humankind. Later in the year 2085, the remaining humans are on the run from the machines who are terminating them. In order to survive to defeat the alien machines, the human race must leave [[Earth]], and go to Mars. Among these voyagers is one woman who bears the burden of guilt for her father's contribution to the destruction of civilization.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158895/plotsummary|title=Plot Summary for Rhea Gall Force (1989)|publisher=IMDb.com|access-date=2013-09-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Rhea_Gall_Force/60004120?mqso=80020215&partid=Rhea_Gall_Force|title=Online kijken naar tv-programma's en films|publisher=Netflix|access-date=2013-09-23}}</ref> {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+''Rhea Gall Force'' cast ! rowspan="2" |Role ! rowspan="2" |Japanese !English |- !<small>Matlin Recording (2003)</small> |- !<u>Narrator</u> |[[Naoko Watanabe (voice actress)|Naoko Watanabe]] |[[Debora Rabbai]] |- !Sandy Newman |[[Naoko Matsui]] |[[Debora Rabbai]] |- !Score |[[Hiromi Tsuru]] |[[Shannon Conley]] |- !Melody |[[Eriko Hara]] |[[Veronica Taylor|Kathleen McInerney]] |- !Bauer |[[Kazuhiko Inoue]] |James Wolfe |- !Mitty |[[Chieko Honda]] |[[Veronica Taylor|Kathleen McInerney]] |- !Norton |[[Yuusaku Yara]] |Gregory Wolfe |- !Fortin |[[Maria Kawamura]] |[[Veronica Taylor|Kathleen McInerney]] |- !Dominov |[[Ichirou Nagai]] |Keith Howard |- !Nelson |[[Seizō Katō|Seizou Katou]] |Mark Knight |- !Vikal |Masashi Hironaka |Rik Nagel |- !Bohdy |[[Shigeru Nakahara]] |[[Dan Green (voice actor)|Jay Snyder]] |- !Gorn |Masaru Satou |Mark Knight |- !Gorn's adjutant |[[Kōji Totani|Kouji Totani]] | |- !Grey Newman |[[Ikuya Sawaki]] |Christopher Graham |- !Rivolk |[[Katsumi Suzuki]] | |- !Soldier |[[Michitaka Kobayashi]] | |} ===Earth Chapter === The ''Earth Chapter Arc'' continues the story from ''Rhea Arc'' with reincarnations of the ''Star Leaf'' crew. After the completion of Operation Exodus, the Earth resistance must survive long enough for the arrival of the [[Mars]] reinforcements led by General McKenzie. It consists of three episodes. '''Earth Chapter 1''' :In the year 2085, the [[Earth]] is now a wasteland ruled by war machines that won an [[apocalypse|apocalyptic]] war. Shortly after that battle, mankind left and began new life on [[Mars]]. However, Sandy Newman and her comrades are left on Earth. While struggling to survive, the group locates an abandoned [[nuclear missile]] launch site. There they must contend with a [[wikt:quasi|quasi]]-[[religious]] group called Geo Chris which plans to make the Earth green once more. However to defeat the war machines of the enemy known as the MME, the Earth resistance must use the [[nuclear missiles]] to attack the MME's citadel, but doing so would carry a heavy price. '''Earth Chapter 2''' :On Mars, the viability of the final stages of Operation Exodus is debated, with the Martian military preferring a plan to use a [[weapon of mass destruction|Plasma cannon]] based on ancient Solnoid technology to destroy the MME citadel and end the war in one strike. The displaced Earth resistance members of Operation Exodus and their allies in the Mars military disobey orders and take a ship to Earth. On Earth, GORN, the leader of the MME, captures Sandy Newman in order to obtain access to Earth's orbital weapons, which it plans to use to prevent the Martian assault. Sandy Newman and GORN must work together to prevent the Mars forces from destroying the Earth's chance of survival. '''Earth Chapter 3''' :The crew of the Martian vessels sent to Earth in Chapter 2 fight alongside the Earth resistance in the final battles of the war with the MME. The main Mars forces have finally arrived as well, and their combined forces finally allow an assault on the MME's Citadel. The war will soon come to an end as Sandy comes face-to-face with GORN, but in doing so the truth behind the entire conflict is revealed. ===New Era=== ''New Era'' concludes the story from ''Earth Chapter'', but takes place about 200 years later. It consists of two episodes. '''New Era Plot Summary''' After centuries of war between humans and the MME machines, the humans have won the battle. However, many lives were lost and the Earth was rendered terribly damaged and unstable to live on. Shortly afterwards, mankind began to restore Earth, and a new race of [[cyborgs]] called "Yumans" had begun to live with the humans. In desire for a better future, humanity is now linked in one large computer network. However, a conflict between the Humans and Yumans shortly began. Considering themselves far better than the human, the Yumans began to plot a takeover. Now humanity lives separated into tightly packed [[arcologies]] built around the world, each keeping minimal contact with the other and dealing with internal problems like overpopulation. A young scientist named Nova, influenced by revolutionary leader of the Yumans, Genova, develops his own plans to bring humanity down. Using the tools he's acquired over the years, he awakens artificial intelligence to destroy all human life, by reprograming every computer on Earth with the GORN virus. The virus is actually a bit more than Nova predicted, due to its intent on wiping out both humans and Yumans from the solar system. With the entire system now connected once more after all the wars, GORN is able to bring his presence everywhere in his attempt to achieve his long-term goals. GORN's plans are not a surprise to Catty, for she has foreseen the disaster and sets her own plan into motion just before the virus strikes. Being a Yuman with heart, she leads a force of seven women into the final battle between man and machine!<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mania.com/gall-force-new-era_article_76152.html|title=Gall Force: New Era|publisher=Mania.com|access-date=2013-09-23|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005103030/http://www.mania.com/gall-force-new-era_article_76152.html|archive-date=2012-10-05}}</ref> {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+''Gall Force: New Era'' cast ! colspan="2" rowspan="2" |Role ! rowspan="2" |Japanese ! colspan="2" |English |- !<small>CTV Sound Studios (1997)</small> !<small>Matlin Recording (2004)</small> |- ! colspan="2" |Chrys |[[Chisa Yokoyama]] |[[Toni Barry]] |Jorjeana Marie |- ! colspan="2" |Pearl |[[Yuri Shiratori]] |Elly Fairman |[[Eileen Stevens]] |- ! colspan="2" |Marble |[[Akiko Hiramatsu]] |Laurel Lefkow |[[Carol Jacobanis]] |- ! colspan="2" |Ruby |Miki Ishioka |Vivienne Rochester |[[Rebecca Honig]] |- ! colspan="2" |Garnet |[[Yuri Amano]] |Tamsin Hollo |[[Lisa Ortiz]] |- ! colspan="2" |Diamond |[[Kaoru Shimamura]] |DeNica Fairman |India McDonald |- ! colspan="2" |Nova Universe |[[Nozomu Sasaki]] |Daniel Marinker |[[Michael Sinterniklaas]] |- ! colspan="2" |Catty |[[Naoko Watanabe (voice actress)|Naoko Watanabe]] |Sarah Wateridge |[[Rachael Lillis]] |- ! colspan="2" |GORN |[[Masaharu Satou]] |Peter Marinker |Mark Knight |- ! rowspan="3" |1 !Committee leader |[[Hiroshi Ito|Hiroshi Itou]] | |Mark Knight |- !Peacekeeping director |Hajime Koseki | |[[Wayne Grayson|Vinnie Penna]] |- !Mayor |[[Kousei Yagi]] |[[Garrick Hagon]] |[[Dan Green (voice actor)|Jay Snyder]] |} {| class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+Additional voices !Version !Actor !Episodes !Notes |- !Japanese |[[Ayako Shiraishi]] |1 | |- !Japanese |[[Jun'ichi Kanemaru]] |1 | |- !Japanese |[[Kiyoyuki Yanada]] |1 | |- !Japanese |[[Sanae Miyuki]] |1 | |- !Japanese |Satoko Kitou |1 | |- !Japanese |Shin'ichirou Miki |1 | |- !Japanese |[[Toshiharu Sakurai]] |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Brendan Charleson |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Daniel Marinker |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |DeNica Fairman |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Dillwyn Owen |2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Elizabeth Pearce |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Elly Fairman |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |[[Garrick Hagon]] |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Jonathan Keeble |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Laurel Lefkow |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Peter Marinker |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Robert Chase |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Sarah Wateridge |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Siân Rivers |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Stewart Bradley |1 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Tamsin Hollo |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |[[Toni Barry]] |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>CTV Sound Studios</small> |Vivienne Rochester |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |Don Puglisi |1, 2 |as Joey Rappaporte |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |[[Jamie McGonnigal]] |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |[[Dan Green (voice actor)|Jay Snyder]] |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |Josh Mosby |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |Keith Howard |1, 2 |as Kurt Riddle |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |[[Tara Sands]] |1, 2 | |- !English: <small>Matlin Recording</small> |[[Wayne Grayson|Vinnie Penna]] |1, 2 | |} ==Alternate series and releases== ===''Gall Force: The Revolution''=== This 1996 OVA was a reimagining of the series, which replaced the amorphous Paranoids with a seemingly endless [[civil war]] between the "West Force" and "East Force" Solnoid armies. Unlike the previous OVAs' more somber and apocalyptic tones, ''The Revolution'' is a more traditional sci-fi adventure story, although it still stresses on the tragedies and wide-scale destruction caused by war. Four episodes were produced, along with one soundtrack album and a "vocal collection" starring the main female cast singing various songs, one of which being a "remake" of ''Disguised Spies'' from one of the original saga's soundtracks. The plot tells of the struggle between the West Force and East Force armies of the Solnoids, which threatens to escalate into total destruction of the Solnoid race as both sides search for the ultimate war weapon, the [[Anti-matter|anti-matter gun]]. By happenstance, however, several troopers from the East Force (Eluza, Rabby, Patty, and Rumy) and the West Force (Lufy) encounter the Conch, an outlawed Solnoid anti-war organization which is trying to spread peace among the hostile parties. As they discover that the war is merely used as an insidious instrument of balance by one singular Solnoid party, the rogue Solnoid troopers unwittingly find themselves fighting for an idea completely alien to them, but which presents the only way of stopping this perpetuated madness. ===''Ten Little Gall Force'' & ''Scramble Wars''=== The 1988 [[omake]] {{nihongo|''Ten Little Gall Force''|テンリトルガルフォース|Ten Ritoru Garu Fōsu}} was an animated [[mockumentary]] detailing a behind-the-scenes look at the production of ''Gall Force: Eternal Story'' and ''Destruction'' from the First Story Arc. Characters were drawn as [[super deformed]] versions of their Eternal Story counterparts. This video maintained a comedic tone as opposed to the somewhat serious war story in the original video it was supposedly documenting. {{nihongo|''Scramble Wars''|スクランブル・ウォーズ 突走れ!ゲノムトロフィーラリー|Sukuranburu Uōzu Tsuppashire! Genom Torofī Rarī}} (released 1992) is a humorous Japanese take on ''[[Wacky Races (1968 TV series)|Wacky Races]]'' in which characters from several major series produced by [[Artmic]]—''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'', ''Gall Force'', ''[[Genesis Survivor Gaiarth]]'', among others—compete for a trillion dollar-heavy trophy sponsored by the megacorporation Genom. The amount of this prize brings out the worst of many of the main characters, and even weapons of mass destruction are brought to bear against the competition. ''Ten Little Gall Force'' was released along with ''Scramble Wars'' in the United States by [[AnimEigo]] on a single VHS video titled ''Super-Deformed Double Feature''. Strangely, as of this time, these have not been released on DVD as with the other ''Gall Force'' titles and are (in their VHS release) much-sought rare collector's items. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+''Ten Little Gall Force'' cast !Role !Japanese |- !Amy |[[Chieko Honda]] |- !Catty |[[Naoko Watanabe (voice actress)|Naoko Watanabe]] |- !Elza |[[Maria Kawamura]] |- !Lufy |[[Hiromi Tsuru]] |- !Patty |[[Eriko Hara]] |- !Pony |[[Michie Tomizawa]] |- !Rabby |[[Naoko Matsui]] |- !Rummy |[[Yuriko Yamamoto]] |- !Shildy |[[Waka Kanda]] |- !Spea |[[Yūko Mizutani|Yuuko Mizutani]] |- !Commander Dorn |[[Kōichi Yamadera|Kouichi Yamadera]] |- ![[Hideki Kakinuma]] |[[Naoki Tatsuta]] |- ![[Katsuhito Akiyama]] |[[Shinya Ōtaki|Shin'ya Ootaki]] |- ![[Kenichi Sonoda|Ken'ichi Sonoda]] |[[Kōichi Yamadera|Kouichi Yamadera]] |- !Manager Koizumi |[[Yoku Shioya]] |- !OX-11 |[[Kōichi Yamadera|Kouichi Yamadera]] |- !The Boy |Hidehiro Kikuchi |} {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+''Scramble Wars'' cast !Role !Japanese |- !<u>Narrator</u> |[[Kiyoyuki Yanada]] |- ![[List of Bubblegum Crisis characters|Sylia Stingray]] |[[Yoshiko Sakakibara]] |- ![[List of Bubblegum Crisis characters|Priss Asagiri]] |Ryouko Tachikawa |- ![[List of Bubblegum Crisis characters|Linna Yamazaki]] |[[Michie Tomizawa]] |- ![[List of Bubblegum Crisis characters|Nene Romanova]] |[[Akiko Hiramatsu]] |- ![[List of Bubblegum Crisis characters|Mackie Stingray]] |[[Nozomu Sasaki]] |- !Elza |[[Maria Kawamura]] |- !Rabby |[[Naoko Matsui]] |- !Rummy |[[Yuriko Yamamoto]] |- !Lufy |[[Hiromi Tsuru]] |- !Patty |[[Eriko Hara]] |- !Catty |[[Naoko Watanabe (voice actress)|Naoko Watanabe]] |- !Mitty |[[Chieko Honda]] |- ![[Genesis Survivor Gaiarth|Ital Del Labard]] |[[Daiki Nakamura (actor)|Daiki Nakamura]] |- ![[Genesis Survivor Gaiarth|Sahari]] |[[Noriko Hidaka]] |- ![[Genesis Survivor Gaiarth|Zaxon]] |[[Akio Ōtsuka|Akio Ootsuka]] |- ![[Genesis Survivor Gaiarth|Randis R.

In addition, many music collections were released, featuring original songs performed by the aforementioned voice actors, along with various singles and a CD drama.
