[edit] Story

[edit] Star Ocean: The Last Hope

After their escape from the alternate dimension Earth, the SRF-003 Calnus is forced to make an emergency landing on Roak, needing to reconfigure its engines to work with the new crystal Meracle provided for it. Soon after arriving Reimi was showing signs of fatigue and struggling to move around. Although none of the party seem to notice it, expecially Edge who is too distraught about the other dimension Earth. After the party trawled through the dense jungle-like area they reach Tatroi which leads on to Astral City. As soon as they get there they here screams coming from an alleyway and find a girl in distress. This turns out to be Sarah Jerand, who later joins the party. The party rescue her and she leaves for the time being.

When they reach the inn Reimi collapses and then they find out about the stone sickness that is plaguing everyone due to the Church of the Sydonai. When they have found this out it starts a long journey to cure Reimi of the disease. They are sent to the Castle in Astral City and back to see the King about a cure, which he gives them. Although this is stolen by a thief which ends up in Edge defeating him in the Tatroi Arena. Eventually though Reimi is cured and they set off again to find out the source of this disease.

Although Sarah goes missing so this begins another quest to follow. On the way they visit a Gypsy camp where Faize falls in love and recieves the cape he wears for the rest of the game. The next destination is Tropp. This is where the party meet Eleyna Farrence and find out about the Church of Sydonai, including Tamiel. Eleyna gives them many tips and gets them out of deep danger. She tells them that Sarah is in the Purgatorium and gives them the key to go through. Myuria Tionysus is the next member to join the party and accompanies the party throughout the Purgatorium. This leads them to the Purgatorium and they work their way through until the central chamber in which Tamiel is fought. Faize finds out secretly that his love has died and this begins his turning evil. After defeating him they save Sarah and head back to the ship as they have finished their business on the planet. This isn't the end for Sarah though as she sneaks onto the ship and remains with them throughout the game. After discussing her status the SRF set off for the next destination in the Star Ocean.

In the post-game, the Tatroi Coliseum on this planet is home to the bonus dungeon, Cave of the Seven Stars, and where the player can battle Gabriel Celesta. This is located just near the Arena and is guarded during normal gameplay.

In SD 346 , Roak was target of a biological weapon used by Lezonia, which petrified its population. Lezonia then abducted around 200,000 Roakians, in the space of days.

Roddick Farrence, Millie Chliette and Dorne Murtough, in an attempt to gather healing herbs from Mt. Metorx in order to cure the effects of this virus, make contact with two Earthlings: Ilia Silvestri and Ronyx J. Kenny. They then explain their efforts are futile and offer their aid in examining Dorne, who has been infected with the virus.

After discovering the host of the virus was Asmodeus, the archfiend of old times, Roddick and his friends decide to use the Time Gate at planet Styx to return 300 years back in time to Roak of S.D. 46 and retrieve antibodies from Asmodeus. Unfortunately, the party is separated, and Ilia and Roddick find themselves alone in S.D. 46 Kratus, known this time as Kraat. Roddick and Ilia then travel to Coule, meeting Cyuss Warren, a Highlander, and then head forward to Portmith, where they are able to find a ferry to the Astralian port town of Autanim. From Autanim they head to Tatroi: there they meet Ashlay Bernbeldt and take the ferry to Astral City, where they help Phia Melle with a case of counterfeit by a minion of Asmodeus. They then hear a rumor about the Eye of Truth being located in the Purgatorium, an artifact which may help Roddick and Ilia to find the missing Ronyx and Millie.

At the Purgatorium, they meet Ioshua Jerand, a featherfolk in search of the Eye of Truth. The party makes it way into the depths of the purgatorium and meets with its guardians, the Runes. These archaic entities help them, under the condition that they never enter the complex again, and reveal that Millie and Ronyx are in the Van Kingdom, in the Silvalant Continent. The party then heads to Eckdart via Tropp, and from there they head to Ionis, the town of Item Creation. There they finally meet with Ronyx, who is accompanied by Mavelle Froesson. After spending the night at Ionis, the party heads towards Van y Ille City, the capital of the Van Kingdom, where the King awaits vollunteers to join the campaign against the Archfiend, Asmodeus.

[edit] Star Ocean: Till the End of Time

After the events of the game, Roak is chosen by Robert Leingod as his home after the razing of Earth by Fourth-Dimensional Executioners. Many inhabitants of Earth like him were evacuated to this planet as well.

[edit] Dictionary Entry

A planet in the Theta Sector which is relatively close to the Sol System. The blood of the Felinefolk who live on this planet can be processed and used to manufacture a material that is able to absorb nearly 100% of all light wavelengths between 240 and 780 nm. This caused Roak to get pulled into a war between the Terran Alliance and Lezonia in the middle of the 4th century SD. Estimates of the number of Felinefolk that were abducted from Roak and taken to Lezonia during this period vary from several hundred thousand to several million.

In 446 SD, Roak signed an alliance with Earth.

In 450 SD, Roak joined the Pangalactic Federation. ...Or so we are told.
