We humans were not alone. The year is 2049.

The year is 2051. The story of the fate of the Star Child and Relayer begins with the encounter of two women at the lunar colony “Artemis” built on the Moon, a satellite of the Earth. Welcome to the magnificent world of space adventure, where humanity and ancient galaxies are interwoven, personifying the stars and Greek gods!
Worldview
The setting is a galaxy that includes our solar system.

As if in response to the Relayer’s invasion, the Starchild, the successor to the will of the stars, awakens.

A simulation RPG that uses four different types of aircraft and a variety of tactics to lead your troops to victory!
The game uses turn-based battles in which each unit is activated for battle. The “Stellar Gear” that Starchild boards is divided into four types: Assault, Snipe, Tank, and Scout. Each type has a different attack range and weaponry, so you’ll be required to position yourself according to the battle situation.
In addition, you can experience tactical situation battles where certain allies become decoys by using “hate” to attract the enemy’s attention, and where allied planes can claw back the enemy.
