Storyline
The Green Globe -Amnelia, the Green Mother Planet- Amid the boundless expanse of the cosmos. Life on that world flourished into civilization, waged war, and teetered on the edge of annihilation. But the conflict came to an end with the arrival of a man. His name was Amnelia. The people came to revere their planet in his honor, yet none recognized the "force" that had shaped him into a savior. And time moved forward... For generations, Amnelia's royal bloodline carried a hidden power, and the 21st monarch, King Brezza, was no different. A ruler and brilliant scientist, he became consumed by his search for new energy solutions. Amnelia relied on an energy drawn from its soil known as "Kaju," but because "Kaju" fueled the lush greenery that sustained the planet—its very lifeblood—it was not an endless resource, and this scarcity became a dire issue. In the 547th year of Amnelia, King Brezza uncovered the key to creating the ultimate energy. The planet’s energy crisis was at last resolved. "Soon, our mother planet will no longer be able to support our way of life. When that day arrives, I vow to give all of you a new world." People began relocating to Amnelia’s moon, Blazar, and fifty years have now passed. It is an age where humanity appears to have achieved lasting peace. Yet, the same error from 600 years prior was on the verge of being repeated once more...
