PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE

CHARACTERS AND WORLDS

THE GURHAL SYSTEM

The Gurhal System is the stage for Phantasy Star Universe. It is an all-new solar system, different from our Earth's and the ones that have previously appeared in the Phantasy Star series.

The Gurhal System contains three inhabitable planets: Parum, Neudaiz, and Moatoob. Populating these worlds are four races of people: humans, newmans, CASTs, and beasts.

Protecting peace throughout the system, alongside the Alliance Military Force, is the interplanetary security force known as the GUARDIANS, to which our hero Ethan and his partners belong.

First, a brief introduction to the GUARDIANS Colony and the three planets:


Guardians Colony Parum Neudaiz Mortoob

The first planet: Parum

Once a planet rich in natural abundance, it was driven to desolation over time due to human settlement, CAST production, and a war that lasted 500 years. Much of the nature found today has been artificially created.

Tarcus City, the site where the Tripartite Treaty was signed, is the planet's capital. The economic center, however, is Holtes City, where the Alliance Council building is located. Alliance Military headquarters and the head offices of GRM, one of the largest manufacturers of GUARDIANS and Alliance Military equipment and CAST parts, are both found in Holtes City.

CASTs make up only 5% of Parum's population. However, most of the important positions in politics, administration, and management are filled by CASTs.



Holtes City

Parum's economic center.

Major facilities are concentrated in Holtes City, with the GUARDIANS branch located in the East District. The West District is home to GRM headquarters, Alliance Military headquarters, and a shopping mall. The PPT Shuttle port, as well as the Alliance Council building, are both found in the Central District.


Raffon Meadow

A grassland area found on Parum. Planet Parum is home to much beautiful nature such as this. For the most part, all such nature has been artificially restored after being ravaged by war.
