The Asterisk War
Invertia was a meteor storm that caused an unprecedented disaster  during the 20th century. Because of this disaster, numerous cities  around the world were destroyed. However, within the meteor, an unknown  element called mana was discovered. It allowed human technology to make  rapid strides giving rise to a new species of super-powered humans, the  Star Pulse Generation (Genestella). The Festas (Star Warrior Festivals)  host battles between Genestella at a city of six academies called  “Rikka,” also commonly known as “Asterisk.”
