Planet Arb [1] is a planet mentioned in Ultraman Mebius and shown in detail in Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Hikari Saga.
Arb is the home world of the Arb, a race of crystalline aliens who named themselves after their home. While travelling through space, Ultraman Hikari visited the planet and became fascinated by its idyllic state, but unfortunately bore witness to an attack on the planet by a Bogarl that almost completely destroyed its people.

History[]
Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Hikari Saga[]
Planet Arb was a completely peaceful planet that hadn't had a single conflict and had been prospering for tens of thousands of years. Hikari arrived on the planet and was surprised by its beauty. Suddenly, the crystals on the planet's surface started floating, forming a a humanoid figure.
This being presented herself to Hikari, and believed that he was an Ultraman. Hikari said that he was not one of them, because he doesn't have any fighting skills, but Arb trusted him because of his pure heart, which was also like hers. Hikari told the being that he wanted to stay on the planet.
The being of Arb denied him, explaining that the peace on Arb was only temporary, and soon a great disaster would occur that would destroy the planet. But a hero with the Armor of Light would arrive from the heavens at that time, and he would fuse with the soil of Arb and be called Tsurugi, and would defeat the destroyer.
These sayings were known as the "Prophecy of Tsurugi" which foretold the end of the peaceful planet. Hikari said that he would become a hero and protect Arb, and flew to another planet. Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Hikari Saga
