In 2002, Lucassen created another side-project, entitled Star One; the only side-project to date he made more than one studio album with. Star One focused on four singers: Dan Swanö, Russell Allen, Floor Jansen and Damian Wilson; Lucassen played guitar, keyboards and hammond organ. Their first album "Space Metal" was released in 2002. The album also had limited success, although it was more successful than Ambeon. "Live on Earth", the first live album in Lucassen's career which also included Ayreon songs, was released one year later.
