Official Fact Sheet:
Four hundred years have passed since the climactic battle with the “Ten Wise Men”. Currently it is 772 (space calendar). Humans and aliens co-exist, some in advanced societies and others in less-developed ones. The Galaxy Federation continues to research the cosmos in order to gain more influence in Space. STAR OCEAN’s protagonist, Fate Linegod brings his family and childhood friend, Sophia Esteed to the Federation-managed resort planet Hida for a long deserved vacation.
