Emerald-III was a mentioned planet in Honkai: Star Rail.
==Description==
===Culture===
Emerald-III was the planet that hosted the band Sizzling Thunder, whose members and audience were comprised of youths who stayed behind, returned, or were drawn to the planet by their performance and message. Their songs include "Cheap Salvation", a hit from their first album,"Our Way," a single from Sizzling Thunder's second album and Sid's life credo, "Song of Sizzling Thunder" and "White Star", two singles from their final album of the latter's same name. David wrote both the lyrics and the music for "White Star". Janis reworded her angry words during a dispute with her parents into lyrics for "Cheap Salvation". "Song of Sizzling Thunder," was Bonham's masterpiece. They were dedicated to live their lives to the fullest while accepting their fate to be destroyed alongside their home planet. 
Their lyrics included "Only cowards flee while shouting the name of the redeemer." from "Cheap Salvation", "There's no meaning, no direction, nowhere else to go, and no future for us." from "Our Way", "We'll burn with our life, 'cause the white star needs a spark to ignite." from "White Star", and "Thunderclaps drown out our voice, lightning runs through our veins. We'll perish with our music and our star." From "Song of Sizzling Thunder".
==History==
Emerald-III's star's lifespan was plunging and residents fled their home planet before the red giant exploded. Faced with a future of no escape, the elites took away hope, feigning ignorance to cries of desperation.
Janis' parents paid a massive amount of credits to board the ship, helplessly praying for an interstellar salvation. The explosion of the red giant would destroy the planet, and it would collapse into a white dwarf. Before the arrival of the imminent doom, escape was the only option. Janis, the Doctor of Chaos, however, decided to try her best to face the annihilation of her home system head-on, attempting to prove that the existence of her home would never perish.
As the dying sun burnt brighter, Janis took her mother's sunglasses and returned to the home planet with like-minded youngsters. The rock 'n' roll of Sizzling Thunder resounded through the planetary system, attracting involuntarily displaced youngsters to return to the crumbling Emerald-III. Lead guitarist Jimmy brought the band underground. There they sang about the tragedy of planetary destruction, which echoed throughout the entire universe.
David printed the back of his leather jacket with a white star, or, more accurately, the white dwarf their star would become after the collapse. This would be their star's proof of existence. Those who left the planetary system and those who stayed behind all listened to that thunder-like rock 'n' roll and brandished the same striking symbol.
Despite ceasing to exist, their presence had been remixed into the music and carved into eternity. Sizzling Thunder from Emerald-III quickly emblazed the whole planet's enthusiasm with several hits. Marking the beginning of their concert tour were the dazzling sparkles of electrifying thunder when Daeve the rhythm guitarist fiercely struck chords, which coincidentally was also worshiped by hordes of their music fans as the only light in their lives.
In every concert tour the band had, there would be fans keeping order voluntarily and handing out wristbands to everyone upon entering the concert grounds. Most of these fans could not afford the costly fees for an escape, so accepting their fate and waiting for the electromagnetic burst to arrive was their only option. Ever since witnessing the return of these rebellious youths to the planet, they had felt it in their bones that their souls were ignited at this very moment. Onto these wristbands they wrote their lyrics, their showtime, as well as the band's unvoiced scream.
Sid the bassist collected the wristbands for every tour. His girlfriend wove them into a bracelet, which Sid then wore all the time. Sizzling Thunder may have changed people's attitude toward finality, but they could not change their destiny. Desolation and despair were all that lay on the surface of the doomed planet. In the era of scarce resources, the band made all their albums out of discarded X-ray films.
Before the long night of Emerald-III, the temperature on the planet's surface had plunged. The once unbearable air cooled down quite a bit as people walked out of their underground shelter and set out for the place where the band was putting on a show. At the final concert of their "Thunderclap" tour, the restless air filled with the warning signs of electromagnetic storms, and lightning was conducted through the metal scaffolding to the stage. Sparks leaped under Bonham's boots. The entire band merged with thunder and lightning. After the encore, a huge ball of lightning engulfed the stage and announced the end of Sizzling Thunder's show.
After the night of their twilight show, Sizzling Thunder came to a permanent end, just like in their lyrics.
Some time after the mass evacuation of the planet, the Emerald-III Migrant Charity Foundation was set up. Boothill donated to the charity but claimed he couldn't read and refused to sign. To express gratitude for his donation, Chairperson Doris and the Charity Foundation went looking for someone with connections to present the certificate to him.Event, All About Boothill..., Assignment: Peaceful Life for Good People
