description Stellvia Overview
In the year 2167, a wave of radiation released by the supernova of the nearby star Hydrus Beta caused cataclysmic damage on Earth, leaving millions dead. Now, it is the year 2356. United to rebuild Earth, humanity prepares for the supernova's second wave of destruction. In order to protect the planet from future harm, massive space colonies called "Foundations" have been built throughout the Solar System.
Acting as centers for both knowledge and exploration, it is at one of these Foundations—the Stellvia—that Shima Katase applies to be a preparatory student against her mother's wishes, aspiring to see space directly with her own eyes.
help Stellvia FAQ
What disaster shapes Stellvia's future timeline?
In 2167, the supernova of Hydrus Beta sends a destructive radiation wave toward Earth and devastates human civilization. By 2356, humanity is preparing for a second wave and building a coordinated defense.
What is humanity trying to accomplish in Stellvia?
The central mission is to stop the second wave from reaching Earth. Shima Katase trains at the Stellvia space station because students and professionals must coordinate piloting, engineering, and orbital defense.
