Famitsu.com (http://www.famitsu.com/) put up an article (http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/2006/01/11/104,1136958059,47383,0,0.html) yesterday with new information about the Moatoob, the desert planet. This information includes some background and cultural information, along with an offline story event. You can read more about the background and environment information below. Since the story event contains spoiler information about the offline story, click on the "Read More" link at the end of the article to read about it.
Background:

Moatoob was once a lush, green planet with abundant water sources. During the war, however, the moon that once orbited the planet was destroyed resulting in the gravitational balance it once had with Moatoob to be thrown off. The oceans soon began to ebb and drought spread transforming the planet into a vast desert. In spite of this, many people with dreams of wealth began to immigrate to the planet because of how rich in resources it is.
Environment:

The stages on this planet include open desert areas, caves, and canyons. Several wild, hairy, and ferocious monsters wander the planet!

Ethan and his party are investigating the kidnapping of a scientist which ends up taking them to the desert planet. They confront the pirate who they think is the one behind the kidnapping. This is where Liina shows up. Tonnio tries talking to her about the kidnapping, but Liina refuses to respond, and instead just leaves. Ethan's group follows her but soon ends up being captured by a group of pirates.
