Rallen and his partner Jeena are determined members of the Nanairo
Planetary Patrol (NPP). Their lives changed forever when they met a
traveler from a distant galaxy named Aldous who foretold the coming
invasion of the Krawl. Aldous discovered Rallen’s extraordinary ability
to control Spectrobes and gave him a device known as a Prizmod to
aid in defense against the monstrous Krawl.
Incredibly, Rallen was successful in summoning an Ultimate Form
Spectrobe to destroy the approaching Krawl. But now, along with the
appearance of mysterious portals, the Krawl have returned and seem
stronger than ever. A huge Krawl horde led by an unknown force has
once again been destroying planets across the universe and Nanairo
is next! Rallen and Jeena and their
friends at the NPP are the only
ones able to save Nanairo from
ultimate destruction!
Rallen
Rallen is an NPP officer. He heartily pursues
justice to all ends and loves the rush of a good
adventure, especially while piloting his patrol
cruiser. Rallen is gifted with the extraordinary
ability to command Spectrobes using the
Prizmod communication device. Using this
power, he was able to prevent the first Krawl
invasion of Nanairo. As a Spectrobe Master,
he can even control Evolved and Ultimate Form
Spectrobes. Rallen’s thrill-seeking ways can
get him in trouble now and again, but his integrity and special skills
make him an undeniable asset to the NPP.

Jeena
Jeena is Rallen’s extremely intelligent and
resourceful partner on the NPP. She is an expert
at researching and analyzing data and provides
critical informational support for Rallen. Her
greatest skill is her keen ability to solve puzzles.
She’s always watching over her partner to make
sure he doesn’t ever find himself in too deep
during their adventures.
Aldous
Aldous played a huge role in the previous
defense against the invading Krawl. He has the
ability to control some Spectrobes, but is unable
to manage the force of Evolved and Ultimate
Form Spectrobes. Originally from a distant star
system called Giorna, Aldous is now helping the
research scientists of the Nanairo system in
their Spectrobe research.
Commander Grant
Commander Grant is the head of the NPP and
serves as the commander of the resistance
operation against the invading Krawl. He is a
peacekeeper within the Nanairo System and is
deeply trusted by his subordinates, including
Rallen and Jeena. He can be very stern, but also
displays a caring nature and level-headedness
that earns him a great deal of respect.
Rallen and Jeena, your mission is to use your special abilities to
preserve the Nanairo System from the Krawl onslaught. Pilot your
patrol cruiser and search for Spectrobe fossils to excavate and
awaken. Summon Child Spectrobes to aid you in the search. Raise
your Spectrobes to defend Nanairo from the invasion of the
atrocious Krawl.

Long thought extinct, Spectrobes are the only natural
enemy of the evil Krawl.
Spectrobe Forms
Fossil
Excavate fossilized Spectrobes that can then be
awakened into Child Spectrobes.
Child
Child Form Spectrobes are too young to fight
in a battle, but can help find buried minerals
and fossils.
Adult
Child Spectrobes evolve into Adult
Spectrobes. After evolving, Adult
Spectrobes can no longer find fossils
or minerals, but they gain the ability
to fight in battles.
Evolved
Once Adult Spectrobes evolve
into their final form, the Evolved
Spectrobe, they become masters
of battle. Like Adults however,
they are unable to search for
fossils and minerals.

Vortexes
Vortexes glow red, green or blue, depending on the property of the
Krawl inside.
• Red – Corona
• Green – Aurora
• Blue – Flash
It’s impossible to distinguish the characteristics of the Krawl within a
purple vortex.
Large Vortex
The large vortex will remain in one place.
Once inside the large vortex, you will battle
two or more waves of Krawl attacks. Until
defeated, the large vortex will continuously
spawn enemies known as Krawl Dust that
try to attack Rallen in the field. Defeating the
large vortex will annihilate any small vortex
and Krawl Dust in the area.
Small Vortex
The small vortex moves around the field
area. Once inside the small vortex, you will
battle a single wave of Krawl. Defeating
these Krawl will destroy the small vortex.
Tip: It’s very important to choose the right
Spectrobes to go into battle with. The color
of a vortex on the battlefield tells you the
property of the Krawl inside. Make sure to
bring Spectrobes that are strong against the
property of the vortex before entering.
Field Battle
The field is one place that is never short of adventure!
