Star Luster

Story & overview

About the game

A first-person 3-D space shooter from Namco.

In A.G. 307, just when the wounds of the Galaxian-Bosconian War was beginning to heal, the UGSF indentified a third new threat to the survival of the Galaxians, the Battura. The relative peace that the United Galaxy enjoyed up until 307 A.G. caused a delay to the updates of their spacefighters. The Battura takes advantage of this by invading and occupying the star systems. The UGSF attempted to fight off the Battura in order to buy time to rush the development of a new spacefighter equipped with the technology at the time. This led to the creation of G.A.I.A, piloted by Dan Heinick. This spacecraft was equipped with the transport drive technology, the "Quasar Drive [also known as the black hole drive]," and a long distance jumping drive, the "Hyper Drive [also known as the quantum teleportation drive]." Upon G.A.I.A's completion, Operation: Star Luster was commenced. Dan realized that the only way to drive off this invasion was to attack the mobile planet of the Battura, Dark Planet, located in the Green Star Constellation where the Battura extracted the IGUDRAZIL. Once there, he destroys Dark Planet causing Battura to retreat. Within the year, the Battura was defeated and the Galaxians have discovered a new type of technology that the UGSF could not achieve from the remains of Battura, the Diastation reactor technology.
