Mysterious alien invaders: the SEED

The SEED are a mysterious alien life form that suddenly attacks the Gurhal System. It infects native creatures, making them violent, and alters the surrounding environment. Below is a brief description of the characteristics of the SEED.


The SEED invasion


During the Centennial Ceremony, the Alliance Military's fleet of warships suddenly came under attack by the mysterious SEED.


SEED infection

When the SEED hit the ground, they lay out roots and extend their stalks, shrouding the surface. Then a flower-like apparatus blooms, and from there, the virus-like infected cells are released (Note: the SEED virus doesn't seem to affect people). The SEED-Cores sticking out of the ground form a special flower-like barrier called a "blewme."




Purifying the SEED

Normal weapons are useless against the blewme. The only way to defeat them with force is the Alliance Military's overwhelming firepower.

This is where the GUARDIANS come in with their specially developed tools, the "photon eraser" and "photon reflector." These tools still can't attack the blewme directly, but by exposing the zoma that act as the blewme's roots, the blewme can be made to wither, exposing the SEED-Core for direct attack. Goggles are needed to locate the zoma and photon points, as they cannot be seen with the naked eye.

The SEED refers to the mysterious life forms that have attacked the Gurhal System. The SEED plant their roots in areas where they settle, sprouting stalks and flowers, and scattering corrosive pollen.

The SEED isn't just damaging to the ground--it alters the DNA of the native creatures, making them violent and aggressive.
