Sand Ocean is an extremely arid frontier planet which for many years was thought to have been completely void of human life. Though the planet may seem like simple gigantic dessert there's a lot more than just that. An ancient civilization once lived in the ruins of Sand Ocean 30.000 years ago. But the isolated secret was to be revealed when a fearless adventurer discovered the ruins of the old civilization hidden deep within the desert -- along with a monstrous alien lifeform. When the desolate planet was discovered, it was called the greatest discovery of the century, and it quickly became a popular sight-seeing area.
