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 four 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, the Praetorians, in a most cruel fashion. 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.

Phoenix is noted for irritating tyrants, and being wiped out - however, on each destruction, seeds of greatness are scattered, that rise into new teams and new powers in the universe.

The first incarnation stood against no-one, as Comet Chaser was taught, and Serenity showed her the secrets of Star Sonata. Serenity eventually stood against Tobal due to their friendship being betrayed by Tobal, and his thirst for power abusing others. Being a team of two, there was little war, but Serenity chose to leave the universe, saddened by the turn of events. This lead Comet Chaser to have an un-ending dislike of Tobal.

Phoenix is largely a care-taker team, and funds the outstanding and quality players that are spotted until they burst forth onto the Star Sonata scene. It is noted for teaching new players and funding them until they become part of the Star Sonata mythos. The part-time director Comet Chaser, is known largely for being loud, annoying, obnoxious and pacifist, but sometimes nice and overly generous. Phoenix has never destroyed another team's base, nor has it ever declared war - Comet Chaser relies on pricking the ego's of tyrants, not crushing the weak. Phoenix has, and always will, stand for the rights of the weak majority against the will of the strong.

Comet Chaser is currently in Olympus, a team that has passed beyond.

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.
