Galaxian 3: Project Dragoon

"Our mission is to find and destroy the enemy's doomsday weapon. They call it "Canon-Seed". If we fail, the Canon-Seed will be fired. Intelligence indicates that the Earth could be shattered into fragments smaller than California. Good luck, team."

Galaxian 3: Project Dragoon (ギャラクシアン3：プロジェクト・ドラグーン) is a 3D-CG shooter attraction that was displayed at the International Garden and Greenery Exposition held in Osaka, Japan on April 1, 1990. It was Namco's first theme park attraction, where up to 28 players could play together. It displayed the latest in 3D-CG technology along with fixtures that moved with the game, providing a level of immersion never experienced before for its time. The attraction surprised and impressed people with how it provided entertainment beyond expectations, making it a topic of discussion to this day. The game will receive the Playstation port on April 26, 1996.

Strangereal-Galaxian Timeline

In the year 2243 AD [143 A.G.], in the Epsilon Eridani system when several planets, including Alpha; which is located at the edge of the galaxy, cut off all communications after an observational data of uncontrollable crustal movements. As a response to the incident, the United Galaxy Space Force sent out an investigation team. The UGSF's investigation saw the very first contact with an extraterrestrial being and their first true threat. This “being” is later referred to as a “Live-Weapon,” or more commonly known as the UIMS (Unknown Intellectual Mechanized Species) who constructed the Canon Seed. This led to the creation of the Dragoon, UGSF's most powerful spaceship of its time. Within the year, the Cannon Seed on the planet Dogmas was destroyed, along with the Dogmas, leading to the retreat of the UIMS.
