'''Cassiopeia''' (Japanese: '''{{j| カシオペア}}''' ''Cassiopeia'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], they recruit the player into '''Operation Starfall'''.

==In the core series==
===★ Starfall Street ★===
Cassiopeia first interacts with the player in the school's cafeteria through their [[Rotom Phone]], having hacked it in order to reach them. They recruit the player into their mission, Operation Starfall, which is to bring down [[Team Star]] by defeating its five squad bosses, scattered around [[Paldea]] in their respective bases, and their "big boss" who founded the team.

When the player is close to a base, Cassiopeia will call and brief them on the base and its squad boss. Once the player has defeated the squad boss, Cassiopeia will call again and reward the player with [[League Points]] and an increased variety of [[TM|TMs]] in the [[TM Machine]]. Cassiopeia also summons [[Penny]] of Operation Starfall's supply unit to give the player a bonus reward, which is a lot of [[Pokémon]] [[TM Material|materials]]. [[Clive]] gives the player their bonus reward instead of Penny after the player has defeated their fifth base.

The player is rewarded with increasing quantities of LP after defeating each squad boss for the first time.
* '''5,000''' for defeating '''one''' squad boss.
* '''6,000''' for defeating '''two''' squad bosses.
* '''7,000''' for defeating '''three''' squad bosses.
* '''10,000''' for defeating '''four''' squad bosses.
* '''20,000''' for defeating '''five''' squad bosses.

After defeating all the squad bosses, Cassiopeia reveals that they were the "big boss" and tells the player to meet them at the schoolyard of [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]] {{sup/9|V}} after dark, where their true identity is revealed.
