Love and Deepspace Caleb Main Story Branch: Our Trajectory Astray and Free 5-Star Memory

Sep 14

Written By Animon

Caleb’s new Main Story Branch, [Our Trajectory Astray], arrives on September 17, 2026, giving players a new route through the Love and Deepspace main story. The branch becomes available from 05:00 server time and is accompanied by a limited-time event that lets players claim the 5-Star Memory [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] for free.

Players will also get access to [Silence of the Cosmos] as part of Caleb’s branch content. To enter the new story route, players must first complete [Erratic Flux] 1-2 and unlock [Secret Venture].

The free Memory event runs for a shorter period than the story branch itself. Players have from 05:00 on September 17 until 04:59 on September 27, 2026, server time to participate and complete all investigations.

Love and Deepspace Caleb Branch: What Is New?

The main addition is Caleb’s independent story branch, [Our Trajectory Astray], alongside [Silence of the Cosmos]. This content expands Caleb’s role in the main plot rather than functioning as a separate Date story.

The official announcement also confirms that the story branches are independent from one another. Caleb’s branch is available first, while Sylus’s branch is scheduled for November.

That means players do not need to wait for every character branch to arrive before experiencing Caleb’s story. Each route is being released independently.

How to Unlock Caleb’s Main Story Branch

Players must complete [Erratic Flux] 1-2 before entering Caleb’s new branch. Once that requirement is met, players can unlock [Secret Venture] and access [Our Trajectory Astray] and [Silence of the Cosmos].

This requirement matters because the new story isn't immediately accessible to every player. The announcement places Caleb’s branch within the existing main-story progression.

Players who have already reached the required point should therefore be able to move into the new content when it opens on September 17.

When Does Our Trajectory Astray Release?

[Our Trajectory Astray] begins at 05:00 on September 17, 2026, server time. The announcement does not provide a separate ending date for Caleb’s Main Story Branch.

The limited-time Memory event has a different schedule. Players can work toward the free [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] Memory until 04:59 on September 27.

This distinction matters because the story branch and its associated reward event do not share the same stated availability period.

Free 5-Star Caleb Memory: Trajectory Astray

The [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] 5-Star Memory can be claimed for free by completing all investigations during the limited-time event. The event begins at 05:00 on September 17 and ends at 04:59 on September 27, 2026 (server time).

Unlike a conventional limited-time Memory that disappears completely after its event, this reward has a permanent acquisition route after the event ends.

From 05:00 on September 28, players can find [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] in Shop > Wishing Well and exchange Stardust for it.

That gives players two different acquisition windows: a free event route before September 27 and a permanent Stardust exchange option beginning September 28.

How to Get Caleb: Trajectory Astray for Free

Completing every investigation during the event is the route to the free 5-Star Memory. Players should therefore focus on finishing the required investigation content before the September 27 deadline.

The Memory is described as part of the main plot, which explains why it doesn't behave like a conventional Date Memory.

The announcement states that the Memory interface will not link directly to Date. Players should therefore view [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] primarily as a piece of the main story rather than as a standalone romantic Date experience.

What Happens After the Free Event Ends?

The Memory does not become permanently unobtainable after the event ends. Starting at 05:00 on September 28, players can exchange Stardust for [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] through Shop > Wishing Well.

This is useful for players who miss the event or do not complete all investigations before September 27. The free acquisition opportunity has a deadline, but the Memory itself has a later permanent acquisition method.

The announcement does not specify the Stardust cost for the exchange, so players should not rely on an unconfirmed amount until the in-game shop provides the exact figure.

Caleb’s Branch Is Separate From Sylus’s Upcoming Story

Caleb’s branch is the first confirmed character branch in this rollout, while Sylus’s branch is planned for November. The announcement explicitly says that each branch is independent.

This means the arrival of Caleb’s content does not indicate that Sylus’s branch will launch at the same time. Players interested in Sylus will have to wait for the November update.

The independent structure also allows players to approach each character’s branch without treating the releases as one combined story route.

What Makes Caleb’s New Story Different?

[Our Trajectory Astray] is positioned as a main-story expansion rather than a limited Date event. That distinction is reinforced by the free 5-Star Memory being described as part of the main plot.

The Memory interface also will not provide a direct link to Date. This suggests that players should experience the Memory in the context of the main branch rather than expecting it to function as a separate Date entry.

The promotional line attached to Caleb’s announcement — “In your dreams and in reality… Am I always making you cry?” — also points toward an emotionally focused story involving Caleb and the player character.

However, the supplied announcement doesn't reveal the full plot, so players shouldn't assume specific story events before experiencing the branch.

What Players Should Do Before September 17

Players who want immediate access to Caleb’s branch should complete [Erratic Flux] 1-2 before September 17. Doing so prepares the account for the required [Secret Venture] unlock.

Players who want the free 5-Star Memory should also keep the September 17–27 event window in mind. Completing all investigations is required to claim [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] through the event.

Players who miss that deadline can still get the Memory through Shop > Wishing Well from September 28 at 05:00, using Stardust.

This gives the update a relatively straightforward progression: unlock the required story content, enter Caleb’s branch, complete the investigations, and claim the Memory before the free-event period ends.

Final Takeaway

Caleb’s [Our Trajectory Astray] is a new independent Main Story Branch launching September 17, 2026, with [Caleb: Trajectory Astray] available as a free 5-Star Memory through a limited investigation event. The story also includes [Silence of the Cosmos] and requires [Erratic Flux] 1-2 and [Secret Venture] before players can enter.

The free Memory event ends on September 27, but the Memory itself is not permanently lost. Starting September 28, players can exchange Stardust for it through Shop > Wishing Well.
