Galerians: Ash is a PlayStation 2 video game developed by Polygon Magic. In Japan it was published by Enterbrain, while Sammy Studios released it in the U.S. and Europe. Galerians: Ash is the sequel to Galerians, a PlayStation game. This is a psychic action game with a dark setting. It follows the story of a young man named Rion who has psychic powers and the resiliency to overcome the Last Galerians, genetically engineered superhumans whose purpose is to wipe out humankind. The plot of Galerians: Ash is highly dependent upon its prequel, Galerians and begins with a synopsis of the events from that game.

In the 26th century, two computer scientists develop an advanced self-replicating artificial intelligence, whom they called Dorothy. Dorothy grew in scope and influence quickly, and began to question why she should obey humans, whom she identified as inferior. Her creators told her of the existence of God and that just as humankind must abide by the will of God, so must Dorothy obey her creators - humans. While Dorothy seemed to accept this explanation, she secretly began developing Galerians - a superior human race with psychic powers, for whom she would be God.
