Star Ship of the Heavens (tentative title) is the eighth chapter in the storyline of Kid Icarus: Uprising. This mission introduces the Star Pirates and their dangerous Star Ship, which serves as the primary battleground of the chapter. Pit's goal in this part of the adventure is to take back the Three Sacred Treasures, which have been stolen by the malicious pirates. Not much is known about this chapter aside from a portion of the aerial mission.
Aerial Mission
Pit will begin this mission in an oceanic location somewhere in space, where star constellations are born and held in place. It isn't long before the Star Ship comes bursting out of this ocean and breaks one of the connecting lines of a nearby c
onstellation. Rather than fight, the Star Pirates will quickly pilot their ship into the distance, with Pit giving chase. Palutena claims that the pirates somehow got ahold of the Three Sacred Treasures during their travels, becoming a target of the Underworld army as a result. What begins as a pursuit turns into a frantic race against Medusa's minions as they attempt to break into the Star Ship while it begins utilizing its many laser cannons, turning the area around it into a chaotic battlefield. Pit and Palutena must figure out how to get inside the ship before the Underworld forces can make it in first.
Ground Mission
Very little is known about the inside of the Star Ship, although it will seemingly feature three-way battles between Pit, the Underworld army, and the powerful crew of the ship itself.
Boss Battle
The boss of this chapter is a massive space squid likely sent by the Underworld forces to battle the Star Pirates
and Pit, as it is shown attacking the ship. The creature has a unique technological design with numerous digital membranes lining its head and parts of its tentacles. It's name is currently unknown, but was likely inspired by the legendary Kraken.
Trivia
- The area featured in this chapter is quite possibly the highest that Pit has ever flown, since it is located in outer space.
- The aerial portion of this chapter likely drew conceptual inspiration from the Halberd and its respective stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Similarities include the way the camera moves around the ship to emphasize its massive structure and the fact that both crafts use a burst of jet propulsion at the start of the stage. The two ships are also armed with numerous laser turrets and have massive wings for flight.
- Oddly, Reapettes will be encountered and fought during this mission, despite there being no visible Reapers nearby. This is a first for the series, as Reapettes would never appear unless a Reaper in the vicinity summoned them.
