History
The various species of Gren were once known to be very cooperative and trusting of one another. Since Carbonara Jungle bore and endless supply of nutritious food, they were able to live in peace and luxury.[2] At some point, an unnamed magician constructed a fountain in the middle of the jungle, using underground water and the power of the earth to control the rain.[3]
When the astro pirates came to occupy Gren five years ago, Gren's peace was in jeopardy. The pirates claimed the Holy Tree Yggsalad, forcing the resident salamanders to relocate to Salamander Cave, constructing Port Assam around it. Moreover, the pirates demanded that the locals hand over any magicians they find, threatening harm upon them of they did not comply. The conflict greatly affected the idealistic values of Gren's people, especially the felins of Tropica Village, whose leader Durum followed the pirates' orders. Unbeknownst to them, Durum was quick to relinquish magicians because he wanted his daughter Farina, who possessed magic abilities, to be safe from harm.
Trivia
- Gren is shown to have one orbiting satellite, which appears to be a moon with a planetary ring.
- There is a division of the Space Police dedicated to supervising Gren known as the Gren Security Patrol (カオピター方面分隊Kaopitā Hōmen Buntai Kaopita Sector Unit), which consists of twelve officers and their leader Brie Pourri.
- If the party saves Chai on Puffoon before arriving on Gren, there will be a few dialogue changes.

But the conflict spreading across the solar system has taken a toll on their idealistic values. It seems that they are much less trusting and generous than they once were."
