Energy Nede is a planet rich in culture and technology. I can't see how much more advanced it can get.
― Centropolis citizen

Energy Nede (エナジーネーデ, Enajī Nēde?) is an overdeveloped planet that makes its appearance in Star Ocean: The Second Story and its remake, Second Evolution. Its government ruled the galaxy 3.7 billion Nedian years ago with science and economy, seemingly living in a utopia. It is located in the Theta Sector near the Arcura System, which it crosses every 7,000 years.

Its inhabitants are the Nedians, an humanoid race distinguished by their pointed ears and their innate healing symbology. Originally a district of the planet Nede (ネーデ, Nēde?), Nedians created the artificial "Energy Nede" to sequester themselves from the rest of the universe.

Characteristics[]

Energy Nede map

World map.

Energy Nede is an isolated piece of the original Nede, a residential district protected by an energy shield—a potent Class 9 high-energy body that prevent any interaction with the exterior. It is home to the most advanced technology in the universe.

Despite its technological level, the best means of transport is using the flying symbological life-form known as the Psynard.

TenWiseMan 2

About four billion years ago, in an age when Expel didn't yet exist in the universe, Nede had such a high level of magic science that it had no equal throughout the universe. Because of this, over forty civilized planets came to be collectively under the rule of Nede. According to Nall, there was no coercion, but rather it was a coexistent relationship, said to be a nearly ideal form of government. Nede was in control of seventy percent of the galaxy, with plans of expanding its utopic society further. In a way, Nede's form of a unified government was similar to the Pangalatic Federation, which was formed billions of years later.

One day, however, these civilizations became tired of their rule and started a secret rebellion against Nede, waiting for the right time to strike. At that time, Dr. Lantis was working on a project: he created the Ten Wise Men, biological weapons with overwhelming symbological power meant to oversee the Nedian colonies. Doctor Lantis also had a daughter named Filia, but she was killed by the rebellion started by the Nedian colonies. In his grief, Dr. Lantis reprogrammed the Ten Wise Men from ruling the colonies to destroying it, along with the entire universe. Under their attack, the cities of Nede fell one after another. After much destruction, including the death of Rhima, the L'Aqua forces were able to stop the Ten Wise Men and banish them into Eternity Space.

The destruction caused by the Ten Wise Men resulted in a casualty rate of 80 percent of the entire Nedian Military, which enabled the insurgent factions to organize themselves into a proper revolution against Nede. These wars led the population of Nede to hide itself from the rest of the known universe due to not only being afraid of the revolution, but also of the knowledge it wielded, especially on the field of Symbology, which could bring more chaos to the universe. For these reasons, the Nedian Supreme Court ruled to move the entire population to an artifical planet, which they named Energy Nede, and protect it with a Level 9 high-energy matter shield; this would ward off any attack from rebel forces, but ultimately cut off the Nedians from the rest of the universe. After transfering the population, the Nedian Military destroyed their original planet.

In S.D. 366, the Ten Wise Men break free of their prison, landing on planet Expel, and by their influence, the planet's orbitis changed, only for it to approach Energy Nede, in order to enable the Ten Wise Men to teleport themselves to their planet. Unfortunately, the clash between Expel and the energy mass surrounding Energy Nede caused the destruction of the underdeveloped planet.

Nede Destroyed

Centropolis is destroyed.

The Ten Wise Men also gained possession of the Symbol of Annihilation, and turned Fienal into their own stronghold. With this power, they attempted to destroy the universe, but Claude C. Kenny and Rena Lanford, along with their friends defeated them. However, they were unable to stop the action of the Symbol of Annihilation, but by using the Symbol of Divinity, they were able to stop the destruction of the universe; unfortunately, the power of the Symbol of Annihilation was unable to be stopped. Therefore, the powerful energy from the Symbol was to be contained inside Nede and its Shield, leaving Rena Lanford, Chisato Madison and Noel Chandler as the last of their kind. During that time they used the power from all of Nede's cities, including the newly dominated Fienal, to bring back Expel to the current time. After a few moments, the party is seen in transport bubbles leading to Expel while watching the destruction of both Inner and Outer Nede.

Energy Nede lives on, however, when Rena decides to record the entire history of the planet with the aide of Chisato. The text follows Nedian history up until its 3,700,000,014th year when the party of the "Hero of Light" aided the Nedians in pooling their powers to defeat the Ten Wise Men and shift Expel through space and time. The history book took several years to draft, though it is unknown what happened to the book after it was completed.
