Not a team, an ideal that rises from the ashes when Star Sonata needs balance against dominion by a sole player. Serenity was its first director, and a legendary player. Like Ying and Yang, Serenity discovered Warp 4 with Tobal, and later crashed the server repeatedly on an universe restart when the first warp four beasties invaded that realm and sludged them. Tobal was turned to the dark side by the loss of his beloved director, and Capitalists crushing his then team. Serenity chose to wander alone in the void. Comet Chaser met Serenity wandering alone through the warp, and took months to entice the solo player to allow her to partner him.

Not to be confused with the team Phoenix.

The Phoenix is one of two forms of the Phoenix/Glaucopennia. The Phoenix can transform into a Glaucopennia with its inbuilt 'A Freezing Egg?' (sic) Super Item, and vice versa with the Glaucopennia's 'A Flaming Egg?'.

Compared to the Glaucopennia, the Phoenix is faster and more offense-oriented. However, it is less durable; it has particularly low resistances - especially at its tech level - and does not benefit from the +100% Shield Max mod that the Glaucopennia has.

An AI variant, the Decrepit Phoenix, can be found roaming Perilous Space and as a boss in DGs. As a roaming AI, it is passive and will not attack the player unless provoked. Despite being a member of the Bird of Prey Family, it is rather slow, but multifires slow but hard-hitting heat and surgical pulse guns. When its shields are brought down to ~25%, it will activate a Super Item that quickly regenerates its shields and transforms it into a brand new Glaucopennia. However, a player with enough burst damage will be able to surpass the regeneration during the 'rebirth' and easily bring it down.

Lucky players that defeat a Phoenix may possibly obtain the blueprint for this mystical ship, sporting fearsome stats useful for either Recon class.


The blueprint produces a Phoenix Rebirth - a ship upgrade that can be applied to a Hawk. It should be noted that either ship upgrade will result in effectively the same ship, just with different build materials.
