Kanassa

is the planet that Bardock and his crew were shown conquering in Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku.
==Overview==
Kanassa is a rocky planet on which are several modern cities,Daizenshuu 7, 1996 inhabited by aliens called the Kanassans. These beings possessed extraordinary telepathic abilities. Prior to their demise, the inhabitants were able to foresee the coming destruction that would occur on the night of a full moon. This turned out to be an accurate prediction, as Team Bardock were able to use the light of the full moon to transform into their Great Ape forms and exterminate the planet's residents.
After conquering the planet, an injured Kanassan survivor, tries to attack Bardock, but Bardock effortlessly kills him. Before he died, the Kanassan gave Bardock psychic abilities to see into the future as a gift to Bardock, so he could see the horror of the end of his own home world, Planet Vegeta. The Frieza Force had their eyes on the planet several months before Bardock's arrival, but the job was "left in the pool" by even Frieza's strongest elites. The conquering of this planet signified to Frieza that the Saiyans were quickly becoming the strongest fighters in the organization. This was one of the contributing factors that led to the Genocide of the Saiyans.
Frieza's stated motives for wanting Kanassa conquered, and its inhabitants wiped out, if any, varied between languages. In the FUNimation dub, Frieza desired the planet to be captured because it was somehow tied to the Kanassan's development of psychic abilities. In the Japanese version, however, the Saiyans admitted that Frieza never even gave them a reason to conquer it.
==Video Game Appearances==
*Dragon Ball Z II: Gekishin Freeza
*Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot
In Gekishin Freeza, Goku, while in his way to Namek, landed in Kanassa after sensing something was wrong in the planet. Goku then defeated all of Frieza's soldiers and saved the planet. A Kanassan thanked him and said he looked a lot like Bardock, who had dominated the planet. Strangely this Kanassa knew about the sons of Bardock, Raditz and Goku, but this could simply be a result of the ability to have visions of the Kanassans. Enemies encountered here are Guprei, Yūzu (color edited Zarbon), and two Kabosu (color edited Dodoria).
In Kakarot, as part of the Bardock - Alone Against Fate DLC, which is based off of the Bardock - The Father of Goku TV special, Planet Kanassa appears. It also serves as the primary and playable setting where Team Bardock faces off against the Kanassans.

==Trivia==
*Kanassa looks very similar to Planet Frieza 79. It could have been renamed "Frieza 79" after Team Bardock exterminated the Kanassans.
*In the German dub, it's known as "Star Kanassa" despite Kanassa being a planet
