Fans of the sprawling space opera franchise can look forward to a new anime project, "Crest of the Stars: Birth." This prequel will delve into the history of the Abh Empire, the technologically advanced, humanoid alien race that serves as the primary antagonists in the original "Crest of the Stars" (Seikai no Monshou) and its sequels.
While the original series, animated by Sunrise, focused on the burgeoning relationship between human noble Jinto Linn and Abh princess Abelia Morphious amidst interstellar conflict, "Birth" is set to explore the foundational era of the Abh's expansion and the events that shaped their imperial ambitions. This offers a deeper dive into the lore that has captivated fans of the franchise for decades.
No release window or specific production details have been shared for "Birth" yet, but its announcement signals continued interest in expanding the rich universe established by Hiroyuki Morioka's novels.
