'''''Phantasy Star Universe''''' [[Spiritual Successor| |
'''''Phantasy Star Universe''''' [[Spiritual Successor|was that successor]]. ''Universe'' takes place in the Gurhal System; a solar system composed of three planets and five races. Several hundred years ago, [[Master of None|Humans]] created three races in their likeness to develop the worlds: [[Cyborg|CASTs]] for working with computers, [[Space Elves|Newmen]] to study [[Magitek|TECHNICs]], and [[Boisterous Bruiser|Beasts]] for working in harsh conditions. Eventually their creations became societies in and of themselves, and have taken over control of the planets of [[City Planet|Parum]], [[Wutai|Neudaiz]] and [[Jungle Japes|Maotoob]] respectively. There have been a slew of expansions released as stand-alone games, which are all covered on this page due to their content and placement in a shared timeline. |

The series started with '''''Universe''''' for PC , Xbox360 and [[PlayStation 2]] in 2006, roughly six years after ''Online''. On the 100th anniversary of a peace treaty ending a brutal centuries-long war between the races, the Gurhal System is attacked by mysterious alien lifeforms known as the [[Eldritch Abomination|SEED]]. The SEED [[The Corruption|infect the worlds]], corrupting wildlife and people alike. Caught in the middle of this chaos is the [[Player Character]] [[Idiot Hero|Ethan Waber]], who is convinced to follow in his [[Disappeared Dad]]'s footsteps and join the [[Law Enforcement, Inc.|GUARDIANS]]. But it's not simple, as the Gurhal System isn't as squeaky clean as its inhabitants would have you believe, and various organizations seek to use the SEED crisis to advance their own agendas. |
