Outer Space is a special game mode where players are sent to explore the unknown depths of space, through various iterations of already existing song's charts with their own special twists.

## Prologue

You as a player began to approach the Outerspace Station, and being notified also by a new character called Celene. This is the initial dialogue

**Transcript**
* English

The scientific vessle, Ausflug, gently swam around space like a deep-sea fish.

During that quiet time when the notes are less dense around the ship, I was wathcing the letter saying 'Outerspace Station Approaching'.

*"Capatin, what are you watching?"*

Soon after Shii came next to me then look at the screen over the shoulder, then spit out eh! sound.

*"Outerspace?"*

In contrast to her reaction, I slant my neck.

Since I crossed many paths and received numerous warning messages about the approaching Outerspace station, I had no clue what that meant.

*"Outerspace is a dangerous area."*

My head turns back almost immediately as the voice sounded further back from where Shii is standing.

*"Captain! You should have let me know if you were awake!"*

A white-haired girl who dressed neatly in suit then gaze on me from the entrance.

However, I'm blinking my eyes like a frog because I was not following the situation.

Then this girl slowly flew toward me after one exhale.

*"When did you awaken?"*

I wasn't able to answer the girl's question that she just threw at me, so I was scratching my head.

Then she crossed her arms and looked at me, then soon after she moved her sight to Shii.

On her face, there was an expression which desperately demanded an answer.

*"Celene..."*

Shii made a discreet appeal on behalf of the girl's name, then shook her head without a reason.

Celene then figured out something from the Shii's reaction, and then looked at me.

*"So, what is your business in outerspace?"*

Celene inquired at me.

I did my best to show that this was not my intention with the enormous body language, and then I pressed the autopilot mode on the screen.

*"I didn't mean you cannot go there."*

As Celene makes a quick excuse for herself, Shii joined a conversation

*"Captain, how do you feel about exploring?"*

"Exploring" in this world, I sense something refreshing.

While I was deeply drenched in this refreshing experience, Celene joined the conversaton once again

*"Outerspace is what is referred to as an unknown and exploratory space."*

*"You go to the planet already knwon, but contrary to the regular path, there are various different paths are concentrated in outerspace."*

I felt a palpitation that I did not know for some reason.

Like it was inscribed in my gene, I instinctively felt an interest in it.

*"Of course, some people eat danger for breakfast, but for the most part, they challenge it because..."*

There was a silence for a moment in the ship.

*"They may believe, they can attain a glorious accomplishment in finding a silk road to the new planets."*

Adventure, achievement, and prestige...

*"It's really rare to happen, but if someone finds the road to the new planet its called as 'Royal Trail'."*

I felt a spark that ignited from within my heart.

It's just an assumption, but this one was different from the instinct from before.

I thought there are a couple of words that stimulate my feelings.

*"Oh... Royal Trail, I've already heard of it!"*

Shii could not control her arousal and shake her body.

*"Perhaps that's possible for the captain?"*

Shii looked behind him with joy, but I was busy experiencing this new feeling piercing through my heart.

*"It's far more dangerous, though!"*

Celen grumbled and said to me, 'have you listen to my words'...

Either way, Shii and I were too busy to consider Celene's warning.

When I looked at Celene with confidence in my eyes, she turns her head in shame.

Soon, Celene whispered in a tiny voice.

*"I... I didn't mean to say you shouldn't ever go."*

From the midst of darkness and full of aestroid field, not as much as we can find from outerspace.

Not only could this be an enigmatic dangerous place for someone.

But also, this can be a place for new challenges and full of oppertunities to someone.

If I had the chance to explore outerspace one day, I would wonder what I would find there.

Then I realized, it's not necessary to go there to find anything.

The challenge alone could be enough to give meaning.

## Outer Space

Congratulations! Now you've entered Outer Space!

### Royal Track

Your main objective is to fill the exploration gauge for the chance to play the Special Pattern of NIGHTFALL by Yunosuke, the Season 1 Royal Track of Outer Space.

### Batteries

To play, you need to spend 'batteries' (the thing with the telescope icon), to explore Outer Space, basically your playing currency. The regeneration time of batteries from the start is +20 battery/10min, but as you progress further (see Observation Level), it can be raised to as high as +25 battery/10min.

Your default amount of Battery expenditure on every exploration is 150, but once the exploration gauge is full, you may continue playing with the reduced price of 105, as long as you don't play the Royal Track's charts.

### Expert Mode

Above the 'Play' button, there is a section that allows you to play in Expert Mode, which increases your likelihood of encountering higher leveled charts. It has no impact on the amount of battery you spent while playing.

### Special Patterns

Special Patterns are the Outer Space exclusive charts of songs already available in the game, whether its from Trailblaze (Story Mode), or from the Starmap Store. This is actually a nice way for players to experience songs & charts of songs they may not have or bought in the game, with the added caveat of it being randomly appearing during your playthrough.

As a short explanation, there are multiple types of Special Patterns that are characterized by Greek letters on a sneak peek trailer on Sixtar Gate's Twitter Post:

1. Σ | Type Sigma: Raindrop
2. Θ | Type Theta: Visualization
3. Ζ | Type Zeta: Triplets
4. Δ | Type Delta: Variance
5. Ω | Type Omega: Destruction

There are also outliers that didn't showed up in the teaser:

1. Ν | Type Nu
2. Μ | Type Mu

Both of those types are from the song LoudNESS, which may refer to Variance type since those two Special Charts feature different gimmicks whilst using the same song. But Delta has appeared on other songs such as -未来- Art of Belief.

### Outer Space Encounter Types

There are three possible outcomes when exploring in Outer Space:

1. Encountering normal charts, usually the 2nd & 3rd difficulty charts of songs you may encounter. Ex: LoudNESS Level 6.
2. Encountering special-triggered charts, but not the Special Patterns version. This may include the chance of playing higher leveled charts on songs such as CO5M1C R4ILR0AD & Natalia:Code (Level 10).
3. Encountering Special Patterns of various songs in the game. It may be harder or easier depending on the type of it.

### Special Patterns

Special Patterns are the Outer Space exclusive charts of songs already available in the game, whether its from Story Mode, or from the Starmap Store. This is actually a nice way for players to experience songs & charts of songs they may not have/bought in the game, with the added caveat of it being randomly appearing during your playthrough.

### Observation Level

As to how to increase your chances of encountering these Special Patterns, you must raise your Observation Level from level 1 to 10/Infinity. The highest rank will raise the probability of Special Patterns appearing to its highest allowed limit. You can technically buy the Infinity Pass (Seasonal Pass for Outer Space) to instantly level up to Infinity.

Another reward from leveling up your Observation Level is the chance of receiving more battery per 10 minutes. From the initial amount of +20 battery/10min to +25 battery/10min.

To reinstate, it is possible for a free-to-play player to reach Infinity by playing Outer Space much more frequently, but players can purchase the Infinity Pass to instantly reach it.
