Planetary Data

Starrii is an odd planet, much smaller than some of the others found in the local group of planets. It is shaped like a set of solid rings that spin around a central point, all in different directions. Within the central set of rings is an orb-like portal, leading to the actual habitable world called Starrii. The physics and metaphysics behind the workings of the portal are currently unknown, as are the dimensions of the world within.

Starrii appears in Star Trip mode's Multi route as part of the Bubblies, sharing its grouping with Vubble and Florias.

Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Starrii number exactly one thousand, and it appears to be that way for a reason. The Starriings are a race of bipedal cycloptic oracles, who worship and revere their goddess, the eponymous Starrii. They are almost always in high spirits, and generally value happiness above many things.

Meteos Data

Unlocking

Starrii can be unlocked via fusing 2500 Zoo, 2500 Herb, 500 Glow, and 3 Time Meteos together in the Fusion Room. Its Sound Set, Holiday Laughter, requires one Rare Meteo of Soul to fuse.

Meteos Encounters

In the original Meteos game, Zoo Meteos dominantly fell on Starrii, followed by an average amount of H20, less Soil, Glow, and Air, and lastly Herb.

Usage

Starrii is a rather conventional planet, being what is basically a slower, easier to use Layazero, complete with eight columns to use. Stacks have a rather high amount of force behind them, and low gravity to boot, making Starrii rather easy to use. However, the problem lies within the fact that Starrii isn't particularly good at anything, leading it to be crushed by more specialized planets on either end of the spectrum, making survival with the planet difficult, under most circumstances; pitting Starrii against other balanced planets will make it appear as a more threatening foe, due to its above-average launch power and attacking capabilities, comparatively. Overall, Starrii is a useful planet for beginners, due to its easy-to-use mechanics, but won't stand up well to any planet with some kind of specialization.

Meteos Wars Data

Starrii made its second appearance in Meteos Wars, as Downloadable Content, being featured in the Planet Pack.

Starrii experienced a somewhat different rain of Meteos this time around, receiving a high amount of Zoo Meteos, followed by lower, equal amounts of Glow and H20, very little, also equal amounts of Air and Herb, and trace amounts of Soil. Starrii still suffers from the exact same issues that plagued it in its initial appearance, being its lack of specialization towards offensive or defensive abilities. However, with its new Planet Impact, Gambit, Starrii can at least pack some extra power in its attacks, with good timing. As last time, Starrii is still a good planet for beginner players, for the same reasons as its last appearance; easy-to-use physics, and not forcing a unique play-style, due to its aforementioned lack of specialization.

Trivia

• Between Meteos DS and Wars, Starrii is the only planet whose native artwork drastically differs. In Meteos DS, Starriings are depicted in a pose similar to their in-game animation, while in Wars their bodies are similar to Caviousians and Gravitases, while their head protrustions droop down more.
  • Despite this, the Starriing animations stay functionally the same between Meteos DS and Wars.
• According to an official poll from 2005, Starrii was given the "honor" of being the least popular planet.
• This sample from GarageBand Jam Pack 2 (Remix Glacier Pad 01) is used in the BGM for Wars.
• The statue of the goddess seen in Meteos DS appears to be completely topless, though it is partially obscured by clouds. This is the only case where any kind of nudity is shown in the Meteos franchise.
  • The statue's design may be inspired by Venus de Milo, or another statue similar to it.

Archiver Notes on Starrii

Ah, Starrii, home of self-proclaimed oracles. This planet has an odd quirk to it where one cannot really tell where the atmosphere begins and ends, but thankfully the Starriings have set up beacons within the atmosphere to help with arriving at and leaving Starrii. Once on the planet, one can gaze around to see that the atmosphere is not nearly as blindingly pink as it appears from orbit.

Starrii is run by a being the Starriings proclaim to be their goddess, sharing her name with the planet. This unknown figure chooses various individuals among the population to carry out her will. While this essentially makes the Starrii society one large religious group or cult, depending on your view, it does not impact their economy or culture outside of serving their goddess's will. As with most races, this is not a mold for every single Starriing, but rather the general populace.

Individual Starriings are, according to themselves, granted a boon from their goddess in the form of various supernatural abilities, limited to only one per Starriing. For example, among the few interviewees, we were shown minor transmutation of metals, minor telepathy, and the ever-so-stereotyped precognition. This is not to say that each gift is mutually unique, but are generally kept within a Starrii family, and if a gift is lost in lineage, may be given to another newborn Starrii. These minor latent paranormal powers generally allow Starriings to find niche occupations among both local and galactic economies. We now have a Starriing aboard the Metamo Archives with the power to create organic holograms from her own mind, who works as a professor and teacher.

As documented in the main article, Starriings are, in general, optimistic individuals with a penchant for trying to make others happy as well. This leads to many a Starriing working in entertainment, which, paired with the various gifts from their goddess, allows for some spectacles unique to their race. Their population is kept at a more or less constant one-thousand Starriings, so it is quite rare to encounter more than one Starriing most anywhere, especially off-planet. Studies are currently underway about what the Starrii economy is like, although notably, tourism appears to be a large factor now.

When it comes to information about the goddess Starrii herself, suddenly it becomes all secretive. Statues of her are built into most architecture in some fashion on Starrii, but no alien race has seen Starrii herself. Sacred chambers are often kept highly secret or heavily guarded in some fashion, with only one such chamber open to the foreign public. It is for these reasons some are quick to call Starrii one big cult.

Starrii history is not well-documented, as the Starriings do not appear to keep records about the past. Retrocognition is a noted gift given by their goddess, so it is presumed that the holder of the power of retrocognition would be the storyteller of not just Starrii, but galactic history. However, it appears to be that keeping tabs on a Starriing's own lineage is a celebrated thing on the planet. Despite not keeping tabs on their history otherwise, they keep stories of their ancestors circulating through their generations. Some of these stories are being documented here at the Archives now.
