GalaxyClan is a fan series of Warrior Cats and ClanGen made by Nyoko Arts. In the series, Nyoko draws the cats of GalaxyClan year by year, detailing events and struggles of each cat in the clan.

Trope Examples include:
- Anyone Can Die: Since the series pulls off of ClanGen, who lives and who dies is up to full random generation, including in manually created extinction events and Dark Forest shenanigans.
- Big Bad Ensemble:
- The first Big Bad Ensemble formed is between Frecklespot and a Rouge Group on year 6. Frecklespot used to be a member of the group, but she got pregnant and the group doesn't look kindly upon queens. Despite this, she's still technically loyal to the group until she's chased out.
- On year 8, the Ensemble shifts to Stoneleaf, Frecklespot, and a duumvirate between Sagepatch and Lilypelt. The rouge group lost relevance once they cornered and killed Frecklespot on year 8, but the Dark Forest exists. The Ensemble briefly turns into a single act as Stoneleaf successfully redeems himself and Sagepatch and Lilypelt lose relevance, but Mintsplash becomes a Big Bad by harassing Fernheart and killing Patchwing, completely independent of Frecklespot.
- Year 9 introduces Makwastar, the current leader of SharpClan, who has her Clan lean heavily into the fierce nature of SharpClan to make them seem strong, even taking out Burdockstar to prove a point. She ends up dying in battle in year 10 when two of her own queens turn against her once they see her kill her own son.
- Frecklespot, Mintsplash, Makwastar, and Cedarblaze all act as independent antagonists in year 14. Makwastar and Mintsplash independently seek revenge on GalaxyClan, while Frecklespot seeks to turn as many cats as she can into murderers and Cedarblaze just fights cats for fun. By the end of year 14, Silkfur has replaced Mintsplash as an independent villain, since Mintsplash's spirit was killed by Snipcloud and left his now detatched puppet to seek revenge. In addition, Frecklespot has firmly established herself as the Clan's primary threat by Giving Hollowstar a life for vengeance and declaring that he will walk a path of his dead Clanmates, to the point where Hollowstar seeks to move territories out of fear.
- GalaxyClan has moved on year 15, removing Makwastar from the picture and replacing her with Serpentstar, the leader of ViperClan. On year 18, ViperClan's Dark Forest guide Butterflypaw has entered the scene, Hollowstar has gone off the deep end, and Flamebear has started killing cats on Butterflypaw's encouragement.
- Big Good: Applies to most leaders of GalaxyClan.
- Sandstar was chosen as the first leader for his wisdom and the fact that he treats the Clan as one family.
- Burdockstar is significantly more fierce and serious than Sandstar, but she maintains the Clan's interests.
- Brightstar is extremely loyal to his Clan and has aided them through internal struggles multiple times.
- Adverted with Hollowstar. Hollowstar isn't evil, but he is portrayed as incompetent and paranoid, too much so to properly fit this trope.
- Cosmic Motifs: Aside from the usual StarClan present in both ClanGen and Warrior Cats canon, the clan is named after Galaxies.
- Deader than Dead: Cats who fade in the afterlife are considered this. So far, the only major character that's faded from existence is Mintsplash.
- Ensemble Cast: GalaxyClan has a lot of characters, and Nyoko spends a roughly equal amount of time on them each year. There's usually no one protagonist (Except maybe Brightmask on year 8), and even in the animatics the perspective regularly switches.
- Eviler than Thou: On year 14, Frecklespot pulls this on Mintsplash by manipulating Snipcloud into killing him.
- Hand Wave: Nyoko states that she doesn't know how cats know what galaxies are.
- Homosexual Reproduction: Same sex breeding is on in the game. This is often explained by Nyoko through surrogate parents or adoption.
- It Runs in the Family: Odd is, well, an odd fellow, a silly little agent of chaos. And so his her sister Weedleap, her nephew Oakspring, and her mate Bat. Her son Ottertail and her grandddaughter Lichenspark also get shades of this.
