The band has released three albums to date: their first in 2002, their second in 2010, and most recently a third in 2022, plus a live album in 2003, and features four different singers: Russell Allen (Symphony X), Damian Wilson (Threshold, Headspace, Arena), Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale), and Floor Jansen (After Forever, ReVamp, Nightwish).
Unlike Ayreon, the Star One albums do not follow one storyline; instead, each song is a different story with a sci-fi concept, most of the tracks based on existing movies and series.
Star One was born out of the remnants of an abandoned collaboration between Lucassen and Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.
Instead of completely abandoning the material that had already been produced, Lucassen decided to put his own lyrics to the music and created Star One.
[6] In August of the same year, Arjen revealed the title of this second album, Victims of the Modern Age, and announced that it was ready.
On 9 February 2021 he published a video announcement, confirming this, and said that music is basically ready at this point and he's working on lyrics at the moment.
