The plot involves an intergalactic organization, the United Galaxy Space Force, discovering an unknown extraterrestrial species that plans to wipe out all of mankind.

Similar to the Age of Empires series, the map will begin as entirely black, revealing more of the world as the player explores.

Several ships are based on those found in other Namco shooting games, such as Galaxian, Galaga, Star Luster and Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere.

Prior to development, most real-time strategy games in Japan had been placed in a negative light for being inferior in quality to those from North America and Europe.

[1] The game was centered around the United Galaxy Space Force universe that combined characters, ships and settings from other Namco titles, including Galaxian, Galaga, Bosconian, Xevious, NebulasRay, Starblade and Ace Combat.

[1] Beta testing began on August 26, 2004, taking place in Namco-operated cafe chains across Japan.

[2] New Space Order was presented at the Amusement Operators Union (AOU) tradeshow in Japan on February 16, 2007, alongside other Namco Bandai titles such as Tekken 6, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune 3,[3] where it had attracted a sizable amount of attention.

[4] The game was housed in arcade cabinets previously used for Counter-Strike Neo, fitted with a mouse and keyboard.

Shortly after the tradeshow, a tie-in anime series, New Space Order: Link of Life, was released exclusively for the game's official website to help explain the story.

After a lack of updates for nearly two years, the official website for the game announced its cancellation on January 27, 2009, citing "various circumstances" as its reason.

The short story on the official website also sees involvement with Geosword (Starblade) and Solvalou (Xevious).

In politics, while the Unity is with the title, it is effectively governed by multinational corporations such as General Resource and Neucom Incorporated.

In New Space Order -Link of Life-, the Earth is already a remote district far away from the political center, like a strategically low-value region.

The UGSF is also used in settings of repeated fighting with a variety of enemies (such as Bosconians and Galaga) that appear in games produced by Namco.

These forces are not treated in the game because of their encounter in the second half of the game story (in addition to Earth being in a remote area, the operational ship that is supposed to have been completed at the end of the war for Solvalou) or because they are treated as a "quasi-disaster class hostile forces" (Still, it is a setting that operated the Special Attack Team, or "SAT," by spending a fleet-sized budget (back money)).

In the setting of New Space Order -Link of Life-, four Dragoon mother ships of the SAT fleet were secretly advancing on Earth and it was planned to annihilate the Empire Army.

It has a military-centric culture that closely resembles Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War II and developed in science from the military.

Although it is "limited," the ESP ability is expressed to all citizens only in the four nations, and its use of difficulty is low enough to be used "on a daily basis though it is tiresome."

The mechanics of New Space Order -Link of Life- has the ship's setting, but it appears to be manufactured by craftsman-based industries.

As a result, the number of crew members is small (with New Space Order -Link of Life- setting it at 1 to 2 persons per ship.

However, along with the U.G., the settings of past Namco games, such as the Ilu Dorkto armor and the parallel world of Eternia, are often diverted.

By the way, it is also depicted in the column on the official website, and it also the home country of New Space Order's mascot, "Yutta."

On Twitter, it is revealed by the setting producer, Hisaharu Tago, that the State of Feudal Dynasty is the distant future of Mirai Ninja.

The Diastasion Drive (Dimensional Particle Manipulation Technology which was used as a three-dimensional tank paddle) is already in its own right two centuries ahead of the U.G.

In some cases however, both Curia and Cain were resuscitated and did not return to their homeworld, choosing instead to serve as an aide to the emperor, like Airuya.
