Seihou Project
The Seihou Project is a series of vertically scrolling danmaku shooting games developed by the doujin circle "Shunsatsu sare do?", whose members were formerly part of the informal circle Amusement Makers at Tokyo Denki University. It is described as a "maid touches bullets lightly shooting game" and stands as a counterpart to the Touhou Project, created by ZUN, who was an upperclassman of the Amusement Makers at the same university.

Background
The word Seihou (西方) means "western" and can refer to some or all of the regions, cultures, or histories within the Western world. The games themselves are named after Japanese terms for different types of cacti, and each title uses three kanji.
Three works have been developed so far, but since Shuusou Gyoku and Kioh Gyoku have not been resold at events, they have become very expensive at auctions and similar venues. Banshiryuu can be obtained via mail order from doujin shops, and more recently it has become available on DLsite.
In general, the Seihou series tends to feature sparser and faster bullet patterns. Enemies use lasers more frequently than in the Touhou Project. The graze mechanic also appears throughout the games.

Explanations
Cactus Energy
Cactus Energy was developed after all other vegetation and energy died on the planet, being found out to be energy that surpasses even nuclear energy[4].
Cactus energy is what empowers VIVIT to be able to use all her techniques[4], large ships are able to fly due in part to Cactus Energy and all objects are empowered by it[5].
VIVIT consdiers cactus energy a stupid name[5].
When Erich and his daughter Vivit were researching cactus energy, an outburst of energy occured that trapped his daughter in another dimension[1].
The energy consumed her, making Vivit unaware of her own existence[1].

The deteriorating environment has caused the original vegetation of the Earth to be completely destroyed.
Except for one; the cactus...
At this rate, the earth will fall into ruin...
In order for humanity to continue, research to extract energy from cacti progresses.
Then, at last, the Cactus Company perfected cactus energy.
Cactus energy — energy that far surpasses even nuclear power.
Because of that, the crisis causing the Earth to fall into ruin was able to be averted.
However, cactus energy is still unstable.
The energy is erratic, and it is said that it presents serious dangers.
Due to the strength of that energy, the Cactus Company has also caused large accidents and for a certain period they were driven to the verge of annihilation.
Decades later, humanity succeeded in managing cactus energy, and once again prospered.
During that time span, the Cactus Company developed a human-model combat robot.
It is not known whether it was the developer's preference or not, but it is a maid-type.
Nevertheless, in testing it far surpassed the battle prowess of existing weaponry.
So, she was also developed using cactus energy.
"I'm going out for errands!"
The maid-type combat robot was named VIVIT.
At her master's request, VIVIT begins a journey for the company..." - ↑ 5.0 5.1 Seihou 1: Shuusou Gyoku Stage 3
