Attention Birds. This is your Captain speaking.

It would seem the Galleon can't breach the upper atmosphere in this world.

In fact, it would seem we're in a nosedive. Something I've never seen this ship do.

Cover your heads with your wings, and hope this thing's more aerodynamic than it looks!

WE'RE GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!

I am STARGAZER. I am an experimental deep-space exploration mobile suit designed and constructed by the Deep Space Survey and Development Organization. My mission is to advance the frontier through exploration of space beyond the orbit of Mars, the fourth planet in my home solar system. In this world, the colloquial term for what I am appears to be "giant robot".

Mars, Mars...

...OH. That red one on the way to Earth.

...only there, huh? Guess every reality's gotta start somewhere.

That is correct.

Automated probes have been sent throughout my home solar system, and a single crewed mission reached Jupiter, the fifth planet, 55 years ago. However, automated probes are highly limited in their ability to determine what to examine without continual human direction, while humans do not live long enough to make crewed exploration practical; reaching Jupiter with a crewed spacecraft required a seven-year journey and an extremely large quantity of fuel, due to the mass of the equipment required to maintain the crew. I was created to allow exploration with minimal energy requirements and an on-site intelligence that will not die of old age.
