Planets

Below are brief summaries of the **planets** and other notable celestial objects that exist in the *Rebel Moon* universe.

## Named planets

### Aih Kalroo

**Aih Kalroo** was the planet where the Diggers' Uprising occurred, which was the event that granted Koseba his lordship over Shasu.

### Castor

**Castor** was Pollux's twin. Both moons circled the same gas giant, but while Pollux was filled with fights to the death, Castor was a tourist destination for the wealthy.

### Daggus

**Daggus** was a planet with a mining town where Nemesis ended up after leaving her home world. Harmada caused problems for the people of this town, coming into conflict with Nemesis. The planet was inspired by *Blade Runner*.

### Gondival

**Gondival** was a planet with five low-orbit moons, the largest of which was the setting of the climactic battle of *A Child of Fire*.

### Krypt

**Krypt** was the location from which the Krypteians hailed. It's currently unknown if this was a planet or another type of location, but the Krypteian culture valued physical strength and combat capability.

### Mara

**Mara** was the red gas giant around which Veldt orbited. The nights on Veldt had a red glow due to the reflected light from the surface of the planet.

### Sarawu

**Sarawu** was the planet where General Titus turned his soldiers against those of the Motherworld.

### Vanna

**Vanna** was the planet for which the franchise, *Rebel Moon* was named. There are conflicting reports that the planet will not appear in the first two movies, but will be featured in the third film in the franchise; and that it will appear at the end of *Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver*.

### Veldt

**Veldt** was a farming moon orbiting Mara. It was one of the primary locations of *Rebel Moon*, being the one the characters sought to protect from the Imperium.

### Xanadu

**Xanadu** was a planet that was discovered and named by the technicians of Area 51 in *Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas*. The animated series, set in Zack Snyder's Armyverse, was set to feature a character called Queen Meeru, whose home world was Xanadu. A Xanadite in the director's cut of *A Child of Fire* mentioned Meeru by name, solidifying the connection between *Rebel Moon* and the Armyverse. Since Xanadu was named by otherworlders, it was likely known by a different name by its inhabitants.

## Unnamed planets

### Aris' home world

**Aris' home world** was another that was lost to the Imperium. Aris came from the great city of Toa, bordering the vast, jade waters of the Biwa Sea. Toa resided on one of dozens of moons orbiting a single planet and its history went back hundreds of thousands of years.

### Kora's home world

**Kora's home world** was attacked by the Imperium when she was a child. She was taken in by the attacking forces as her world burned.

### Milius' home world

**Milius' home world** was taken over by the Imperium, with Milius and their neighbors taken to a mining colony to become slave workers.
