About this title

Synopsis

The Five Star Stories takes its name from the Joker Star Cluster where the stories take place. The star cluster is made up of four stars: Eastern, Western, Southern and Northern. The "fifth star" is a large comet named Stant that passes through that sector of space every 1,500 years pulling with it its own collection of orbiting planets. In the distant past the Farus Di Kanon Empire, now commonly known as the "Super Empire," controlled all 4 solar systems of the Joker Cluster. They enjoyed a level of technology much higher than is currently known and sent explorers to the far reaches of the Joker Galaxy. Around the year 9000 AD (Ammon Duul) the empire collapsed due to internal strife. The explorers were called home and what remained of civilization focused mainly on survival. Much technology and knowledge was lost by the time the imperial families of Amaterasu, Fillmore and Hathuha gathered and established the JC era. JC stands for "Joker Calendar" and was meant to give a common frame of reference to all nations to help foster a lasting peace. The JC calendar was adopted but the dream of peace was never realized. The first story of The Five Star Stories begins in JC 2988. At this time interstellar travel is common and genetically engineered "fatimas" are well established as necessary co-pilots of the fearsome mortar headds that dominate the battlefields. Warfare between nations is commonplace and few still hope for peace.

Lachesis Fatima9 fan favorites
External profile
Lachesis is the 44th masterpiece of famed Fatima Meight, Dr. Chrome Ballanche. When Lachesis was still a child, before undergoing her final programming cycle during her maturation, she revealed to Dr. Ballanche that she wished to be with Ladios Sop. Ballanche told her it was possible but for it to be he must re-make her. Lachesis agreed and thus she was made specifically for Amaterasu. After this transformation, Lachesis became unique among both humans and fatimas. Special DNA provided by the LED dragon was grafted into hers and the result is her body is able to develop into the form it most needs to be. Her current form is that of an adolescent female, but her final form will be that of a goddess of destiny. Lachesis is not equipped with the mind control restriction required by law and thus is highly illegal. Lachesis is a very playful individual, an indication that she is not fully mature, and her favorite "playmate" is the FEMC jester, Spector. Together they are the terror of Mirage Palace, playing pranks on any and all who get in their way. As Amaterasu’s partner, she has full command of the Knight of Gold. Her capabilities as a fatima are unknown but her ability must be at least equal to that of Atropos and, more likely, closer to that of Clotho. On the occasion of Ballanche’s death, Amaterasu-no-Mikoto III, former Queen of Greece, named Lachesis as a princess of the Amaterasu family, dubbing her Gibih Lachesis Fanatic B Amaterasu Guiress. Lachesis is considered 2nd in line to the throne of the AKD in the event that something happens to the emperor. All of the Mirage Knights protect Lachesis as if she were their queen and a command from her is treated as if it were from the emperor’s own lips. (Source: GEARS Online)
Clotho Fatima3 fan favorites
External profile
Clotho is the 45th masterpiece of Dr. Ballanche and the culmination of all his work. She is by far the finest fatima in the galaxy. Her gauge of VA is the highest possible, exceeding all other ranks including Bacstual&rsquo;s 3Ax5. Even though Clotho is the most powerful fatima in the galaxy, she abhors warfare and killing and is thus a very complex individual. She is not without mind control like her sisters and it may be that Dr. Ballanche programmed her this way specifically. At the beginning of the story Clotho is adopted by the Colus royal family and put under their protection until such a time as she find her true master. During the Colus/Hagooda war, Clotho temporarily replaced the deceased Ulicle as King Colus XXIII&rsquo;s fatima. In that battle she unleashed the power of the newly resurrected Junchoon and gave everyone a glimpse of her true abilities.
