Every now and then in Fisch, something truly magical happens. An ‘admin event’ is triggered, and the world is transformed. One of my absolute favorite events is the ‘Galaxy’ event. During this time, the night sky becomes a swirling nebula of cosmic colors, and anglers get the chance to catch something that isn’t really a fish at all: a Star.

This ‘Special’ rarity item is one of the most unique and beautiful things you can catch in the entire game. Its bestiary entry is simply a ‘⭐’ emoji, which perfectly captures its whimsical and otherworldly nature. It’s a catch that feels less like fishing and more like reaching up and plucking a piece of the heavens for yourself.
In this guide, I’ll share my experience with the Galaxy event and explain just how to catch this celestial wonder. While it’s incredibly rare, the process of catching it is surprisingly peaceful, making it one of the most enjoyable experiences in the game.
🌌 The Galaxy Admin Event
The Star is only available during a ‘Galaxy’ admin event. Like the Goldstorm event for the Golden Nessie, this is not something you can predict. It’s a rare, server-wide occurrence that transforms the game’s atmosphere. When it happens, you’ll know it. The world is bathed in the soft glow of distant galaxies, and the fishing waters sparkle with cosmic light.
There are no specific time, weather, or season requirements for catching a Star, as the event itself creates the perfect celestial conditions. There is also no preferred bait. This means that as long as the Galaxy event is active, you have a chance to hook a Star with any bait, or even no bait at all, in any location.
This makes the event a wonderful surprise. I could be fishing for something mundane like a Slate Tuna, and suddenly find myself with a chance to catch a Star. When you hook a Special item like this, a unique icon appears over your head, and a shimmering sound plays, letting you know that you’re in for a treat.
✨ A Surprisingly Easy Catch
Here is what makes the Star so unique. Despite its ‘Special’ rarity, the bestiary describes it as an ‘easy catch.’ My experience confirms this. Once hooked, it moves slowly and gracefully across the fishing bar. There are no erratic movements or sudden struggles. It feels less like a fight and more like you’re gently guiding it home.
To make things even better, when you’re reeling it in, you’re granted a massive +100% Progress Speed bonus. This means that even if the Star does drift off your bar for a moment, you’ll barely lose any progress. The bar fills up incredibly quickly, and it’s almost impossible to fail the catch once you’ve hooked it.
This design is what I love so much about this event. It’s not about a high-stakes, stressful battle. It’s a reward for being online when the stars align—literally. It’s a moment of calm and wonder, a peaceful and magical experience that stands in stark contrast to the difficult battles against other rare creatures like the Frozen Walnut.
🌠 A Celestial Reward
The Star itself is a beautiful object. It’s a glowing, yellowish star, and when I hold it, it leaves a sparkling trail behind me as I move. It’s one of the most visually stunning items in the game. It’s a cosmetic item that you can display in your home or carry with you to show off your celestial prize.
Like other special event items, its weight and value are listed as ‘TBA’ (To Be Announced) in the bestiary. This suggests that its value is not in C$ or XP, but in its rarity and beauty. It’s not something you sell; it’s something you cherish. It’s a symbol of your luck and a memento of the magical Galaxy event.
Catching a Star is a truly special moment in Fisch. It’s a reminder that not all rewards in the game are about stats or currency. Some are just about experiencing a moment of beauty and wonder. So next time the sky fills with swirling nebulas, cast your line, and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to catch a falling star.
