Tria is the recurring, universal and monotheistic deity of the Star Ocean universe. It is first mentioned in Star Ocean: The Second Story as the Goddess of Creation in both Expel and Nede. While being considered as an in-game entity in the series, it is found in the Oracle Room from the first Star Ocean that Tria is actually tri-Ace's development team itself, and is used as a term to classify the creators, thus, being rather a "race" than a sole deity, although it is referred to as an individual in the other games. Tria is actually a play on words on tri-Ace(Tria).
