Algo Solar System

Biography

The Algo Star System is a solar system located in the Andromeda galaxy, far from Earth. The system consists of one star called Algo, four planets, and a number of artificial satellites. The planets are Palma, Motavia, Dezoris, and Rykros. These planets are the setting of most of the classic Phantasy Star series. Of those games, only Phantasy Star III and Phantasy Star Gaiden take place outside the system.

This star system was artificially created as a seal for a dimensional portal. This seal weakens once every thousand years, allowing one Dark Force to appear. The ultimate goal of each Dark Force is to break this seal, which requires destroying the planets. Once Palma was destroyed, the seal became considerably weaker, eventually failing completely at the next thousand year interval.

Only the star, Palma, Motavia, and Dezoris make up the dimensional seal. Rykros is actually an additional planet, meant to serve as a warning system to be revealed when the seal is about to fail.
